Default Powerdrive 2 vs Powerdrive 3 charger

I have a 2003 Club Car DS IQ. The charger that came with my cart was a Powerdrive2. A friend no longer needed his Powerdrive 3 charger and he gave it to be. I tried it and it seems to work fine and OBC shuts it off around 63 volts. What's the difference between these chargers and will the 3 work for me?

The Powerdrive3 will work fine on your cart.

The main difference is the PowerDrive2 relay voltage suppression is just a diode and the Powerdrive3 uses a TVS and resistor circuit that allows the newer OBC software to detect when it has failed.

Yes it will. I like the PD3 and it is a little stronger amperage wise and is a little different in the design. The PD3 has a double diode set up and the PD2 has a rectifier. Any Powerdrive will work on your cart and the OBC mostly controls how it charges, but the PD3 starts at a higher amperage and also runs a little hotter. There are 2 different model PD3's and they are slightly different.
