Default Charging different brand batteries with ERIC charger?

I have seen people talk about changing the settings on the better chargers based on what batteries you have. I have the stock ERIC charger and am about to change batteries to Crown 190's.

Can you do anything to account for different batteries on these newer stock chargers????

That charger is fully programmable, but I think only some dealers have the knowhow and software to do it.

Perhaps David with RevolutionGolfCars.com has some insight into that question.

Unfortunately, this is something the Club Car engineers never really enlightened us on when I was working at the dealer. I know they have a data port that can adjust it, but we never had the tools to do it.

This was same thing I was worried about on my batteries. When I purchased cart dealer changed batteries to Trojan 875. I received the ERIC with cart and it works great. Dealer is not a certified Club Car dealer just a small shop. So I kind of worried he did not program the correct parameters into the charger.

I called a local dealer and they had no idea what inwas talking about (different algorithms for different batteries).

So who knows.

Not surprising..., the good news is that the ERIC system uses the latest patented technology from Lester, "Progressive DV/DT", which is a great improvement over the original Lester DV/DT (circa 1974) algorithm and it should optimally charge any battery without the "fixed parameter" shortcoming of the original algorithm.

Sergio check this site out, it has the software to check out the charge profile for the Delta Q IC650. My ERIC is model number IC0650-48. So this may work on that model also. I have not tried it yet to see if it will work.

It looks like the free software only does data collection and the Profile numbers displayed are specific to the OEM, so I don't think that will tell you if it is optimized for anything particular battery brand.

Edit: I confused this charger with the Lester, sorry about that, my comments about the "adaptive" algorithm may not apply to the ERIC/Delta chargers.

I installed software and it does read profile of flash drive off of ERIC USB Dive. I have Active Algorithm 31 according to simple IDAT software. Don't know what that means yet. It also tells you a lot of other information about what the charger did. It looks like it is nice to have if you are interested in what your charger is doing.
