How could 5 amps possibly charge a golf cart overnight? A 20 amp takes a good 6-8 hrs?

When charging your normal batteries for a 36V System (Trojan T105 or Equivalent) this charger will take all night to charge them. This is rated for a normal discharge of the golf cart to where your cart is not moving anymore and not to a fully depleted battery that reads 0V. Also chargers that go 20A are not commonly made anymore as a low amp charge is better for your batteries than a powerful 20A charge. The longer you charge the batteries at low amps the better it is for the batteries as it prevents sulfate from building up. Also a 20A charger will only take about 2-4 Hr. for a full charge on a normal use battery.

it doesn't. do your self a favor and buy a good charger that will auto shut off and check batteries when you plug in or you could spend $1000 on batteries every year. a friend of mine works on golf carts for a living I wish I had talk to him before I bougth this charger. DPI makes a high quality charger that's who I went with

Charge from totally dead? No. I use my cart as a disabled gal with 13 acres and several outbuildings I access daily and to also visit neighbors. Should I see the acceleration on the cart lessening I head for the garage but that rarely happens. I hook up the charger when I return home and the next morning I have a full charge. For my needs 5 amps is ample.

Yes, at 12 volts and about 0.5 amps. This system was designed to trickle charge batteries and keep them topped off. I use them on my golf carts and boats and parked vehicles to keep the batteries topped off.

Any battery will charge with solar panels. Unfortunately when I bought them I thought they were 100amp hour, but their not. That's what you need if you want to go solar. Golf cart Batteries are what you might want to look into, they store a lot more energy and that's the whole key to solar! Hope this helped.

From their web page: "The Little Switch is rated at 100 amps continuous service and 500 amps for 10 second surges..." At 36 volts, you are not going to exceed the dielectric of the materials that isolate the poles on it unless a conductive media is introduced between the poles. (salt water...) I see no issue working on your golf cart. http://www.flamingriver.com/index.php/products/c0015/s0008/FR1002

I used this in my son's car but with 12 VDC circuits. I know you said you are going to use this for some auxillary circuits in your golf cart and although the cart is 36 VDC, the aux circuits will be 12 VDC, which means you will be tapping off one of the batteries or adding a dedicated Aux battery - correct? If so, no problem at all, just remember this unit is NOT water proof and you will just need to size the fuse to protect the load. I actually removed my unit after thinking about it further and installed the Blue Sea push button reset breakers. Built a small panel with the breakers and a few 12 VDC power supplies, along with some indicator lights and such. Blue sea makes a really neat prefab panel with the breakers and toggle switches - little pricey but everything is water proof (have to buy box or provide cut out separately). Hope this helps

I own MGM-GMC inc. , it is a motor home service center we use a lot of golf cart batteries in motor homes and if your running 4 six volt batts, then the pd 9280 is the best way to go, it will recharge them much faster than the 9245/55, or 60 one will do, I use the pd 9280 in my unit and I also have 4 Golf cart batts in mine

In your golf cart you have 8 6 volt batteries witch = 48 volts. Hook in the wires one on the negative end of the batteries and the positive on the positive side of the fourth battery . This will give you 24 volts 4x6=24.

I charge mine overnight because its what they call a trickle battery charger so it charges overnight without any problems and how long it lasts depends on what your weedeating. If your using it for thick grass and brush it will last about 10-15 mins max. I already had additonal batteries i keep charged up so i just put another in and keep going

This will not work. This unit takes the 36/48 volts that a golf cart battery bank uses and reduces the output to 12 volts. It will not run a 110 volt rope light.

This amp really doesn't use much power. I've run the smaller (200 amp 2 channel) one for 20 hours (most of a weekend) off a simple AGM deep cycle without charging it while at anchor.

Complicated question. You need to figure out how much power your appliance use and how long you plan to use them each day. I am using 4 6 volt golf cart battery's. All together I have 464 amp hours. Batteries in parallel and in series. Do not use regular car battery. There is a formula out there, i don't know it.

Assuming a perfect world, if you charge at 5 amps (5000 ma), it would take 1.06 hours.

I have a 48 volt e-z go golf cart and wanted to run lights on it for a fun night parade. each battery is 8 volts and there are 6 under the seat of the cart. So I hooked on to the positive of battery number one and the negative of battery number 3----making a 24 volt package---the inverter worked fine and ran my lights and boom box.

Ours airs up 195/75 R14 tires on our old buick in about 2 minutes per tire. It runs off the battery charger so I don't know why you have a 20 minute time limit

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

I think you two didn't understand the question, I think he's asking what is the /20hr mean, it means that if you ran just under 1 amp you could run it for 20 hrs, while the other ones dont tell you the hr rate of the ah rating...

This was a gift for family member and they wanted it to charge golf cart battery, riding lawnmower battery, etc. A family member used their charger just like this to charge a battery for a Chevrolet Tahoe. Hope this helps!
