Frequently Asked Questions
What types of batteries can these golf cart chargers handle?
The chargers are compatible with flooded lead-acid, AGM, gel, and lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Each unit includes selectable charge profiles or can be factory-programmed to match your specific battery chemistry. Lithium profiles incorporate BMS communication and cell-balancing logic for safe, efficient charging.
How do I integrate the chargers into an existing fleet management system?
The PRO-CF and I-NET series include CAN bus and RS485 interfaces that can connect to common fleet management software. Real-time data on voltage, current, state of charge, and fault codes is accessible via Modbus RTU or custom protocol. Optional Ethernet and WiFi modules enable cloud-based monitoring without on-site servers.
What are the typical lead times for bulk charger orders?
For standard models, lead times range from 4 to 8 weeks after order confirmation, depending on the quantity and current production schedule. Customized units—such as those with unique connectors, firmware, or private labeling—may add 2 to 4 weeks. Rush orders can sometimes be accommodated for an additional fee.
Can the chargers be customized for lithium batteries with specific BMS requirements?
Yes. The LITH-OUT series and many PRO-CF models allow firmware-level adjustments to match end-of-charge voltage, balancing thresholds, and communication handshake with your BMS. Our engineering team will work with your battery datasheet to ensure the charge profile aligns perfectly with the cell specifications.
What safety certifications do these chargers hold?
All chargers carry CE and FCC marks and are designed to comply with IEC 60950 and regional EMC directives. Many models also hold UL listing for North American markets. Documentation including certificates of conformance and test reports is provided with each shipment to assist with your own regulatory approvals.
