does a 36 volt charger hurt a 12 volt batt
328203
If you connect a 36 volt charger to a 12 volt battery the charger will not start the charging process because it senses that there is a problem with the batteries. That is the way it is supposed to work. If it actually started to charge it would eventually destroy the battery. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us directly at 561-338-8843. Sincerely, Samantha Thompson

as long as the golf cart is 36 volts it will work fine if there is 3 battery's you art charging it should be ok. but if charging one battery Yes

I think that you are talking about 2 batteries (each 6 volts) - This charger I bought was to charge 6-6 volt batteries for my golf cart which is why the advertisement states 36 volts. If it is for a single battery yes, a 36 volt charger could hurt-damage or destroy a 12 volt battery

No. The batteries are in series typically 36 or 48 volt systems. If you were to hook this up to only one 12v battery in a golfew cart it would drain the battery unevenly and damage that battery

yes it will I use for or five of them constantly all day long and I have Upgraded them to the 12 Volt batteries running on 10.8 volt Makita in packs and screwdrivers. I've not had a problem with the 12 volts or the 10.8 bolts charging on the 12 Volt chargers.great tools excellent by choice have a great day.

Yes, The 36 volt will work.....the battery b&d; calls 40 volt is actually a 36.

If you mean such as a 12-volt charger, I'm not sure. Better to ask the pros (i.e. Best Buy for example.)

If your 48 volts is based on 4 each 12 volt batteries or even 8 each 6 volt batteries it should work fine. I use it to charge my 48 volt battery system for the hydraulics in my low rider. Just make sure when you hook it up you verify correct polarity and voltage setting. It would also help to have spare 30 amp fuses on hand for the charger just in case.

I asked an engineer at work about this. As long as the voltage matches, and the amperage does not exceed the limit of the charger, the device that is being charged will take only the electrical energy it requires. It won't hurt it. If the amperage of the device being charged exceeds the amperage limit of the charger, the charger may burn out.

Well yea, use a battery charger , or a deep cycle charger with a max of 35 amp .Most deep cycle batteries use a slow charge rate anyway which is a lower amp charger.Just keep the amp below 30 to 35 amp @ 12 volt. This is not a 24 or more system charger.

No, this is not a charger, it reduces the voltage from a 48 volt battery pack to 12 volts so that 12 volt accessories use all the batteries equally.

I believe the short answer wouild be no. First they are not likely to physically fit your 12 volt model and second, putting the wrong power rated batteries in your device would likely damage it. Finally the charger that came with you 12 volt model "may" not have the capacity to recharge 14.4 volt batteries. Your much better off to use the batteries the manufacture calls for. Good luck.

Yes. I checked the number on our 40-volt batteries and it is the same. We have used it to charge both the 36 and the 40 volt.

Two 12V batteries in series can be connected to a 24v charger, but you want to make sure they are both in approximately the same condition. Two batteries in parallel doubles the capacity, but not the voltage so you can not connect them to the charger as the parallel pack is only at 12V

The answer is Yes and No. Any 12 volt charger will charge it, but must have the right size "Spade Lug" connectors to mate with the battery terminals. Or have an "adaptor cable" to convert the typical 12 volt charger cable connector to the battery lugs. Be careful to use a low current charger adaptor, not a car battery charger.

this is a 24volt charger. I think you need to find a 12volt charger to meet your needs.

Only if the batteries are in series to 36 volts. I charge 3 12 volt batteries in series with this unit no problem.

12v is 12v just takes a while. i use mine once in a while. I use the big one at med for faster charges and boost for starts now!!! the big one is a roll around not a batt tender. al
