19 Best 48 Volt Golf Cart Battery Charger (2023 Updated)

Installed MODZ Max48 as an on board charger in my 2004 Lido which is built on an EZGO TXT chassis. Chose the MODZ because of it’s small size, durable construction, trickle charging and plug and forget capablility.

It did not disappoint. Also the various status lights are a great feature that I did not realize it had until I got it. Hard wiring the charger just involves cutting the output cord to length, installing appropriate connectors and connecting the wires to the charging terminals.

Just look for the terminals your existing charging connector connects to. Now I can charge my cart not only in by garage, but anywhere there is an available 120V outlet. I can loan it to my kids or friends with having to worry about lugging along a 40 lb charger and it being used properly.

And I can leave it plugged in all off season as the MODZ has the trickle charging feature. If it has a down side it is that the cooling fan makes a little noise when the unit is actively charging but not when it is trickle charging or idling.

nice charger, very light and compact, does not over heat the batts like the oem charger, the flashing light colors are very confusing if you dont understand how its working. but to make it easy to understand just know that when batts are more than 80% charged it goes to yellow then full green and charger turns off when complete.

it does charge around the obc unit if it goes bad on your club car, if you dont take the obc out of the charging system, thats why the cunfusion with the flashing lights. good charger highly recomend this and im a custom builder of golf carts.

Short term use so I’m still evaluating this charger. It doesn’t seem to provide the deed charge as the OEM model,but no problem completing 18 holes+ to/from course & home with two heavy guys. Small,compact and quiet.

I loved doing business with Golfcart King. They gave me the best price for my charger. I found the gentleman that I spoke with to be very knowledgeable and he was able to help me choose the right charger.

I got the charger within just a few days. I would definitely do business with them again. Thank you Golfcart King.

Works great with my Yamaha golf cart. I was worried after my cart was sitting not being used for over a year. After an overnight charge it started up!

I have used the MODZ Max48 Charger for 1 month now. My batteries are much happier. No more overheating, no worries about leaving my golf cart plugged in for too long. The automatic controls make it such easier to enjoy my golf cart and it has helped reduced my electric bill.

I was looking for a 48 volt two wire charger. I bought this charger because we have a lot of different style chargers around and getting the right cart to the right charger is a pain. I wanted a charger that I could install onboard so that whenever i need a cart to charge i could just plug the charger into a 120 volt outlet.

This charger was able to do that. After it arrived, i cut the low volt plug off and crimped ring terminals onto the two wires. I then bolted the wires directly to the correct batteries for positive and negative.

I mounted the charger into the trunk of the golf cart and just like that, I had an onboard charger that I can plug in anywhere.

Great 48V cart charger. Correct connector, decent price Fast charge, fast shipping, works well as advertised..

Just what I wanted. It performs very well. Will purchase again. Thanks

I purchased this charger to have a more reliable, safer, and easier way to charge my EZGO Marathon. I have only used it for a couple drive and so far it has been easier, the only downfall is it is still overcharging my batteries.

Every time I have used it the next time there has been acid spots on the concrete.

This charger small/light weight and works great. I will be buying more of these!

Seems to work fine first time I used it I think my batteries wereLower than normal so It took several hours but the green light came on when completedDelivery of charger was shorter than originally stated when I ordered itAfter using cart second time used was much shorterCharging time.

This unit seems really well built and runs very quietly, even with the on board cooling fan running. That is a nice feature to keep the heat down on the electronics. Charges like it should. Only had it for one month, but like it better than old model PowerWise QE that usually needed replaced every 2 years.

Hoping for better durability on this model.

The first MODZ charger I received was tested and found faulty. I notified GOLF CART KING and they authorized the return and emailed a return shipping label within five minutes. A day later I called GCK and asked when the replacement would be shipped.

“Already shipped. ” was their reply. Amazing isn’t it. All at no cost. Being able to handle a problem extremely well with little hassle should be and is commended. This company is refreshing! Although I’ve only had the replacement charger for a couple of months, it works as advertised.

Saved me approximately 300 bucks compared to a quote for another charger received locally.

This charger is great! Works great on batteries that sit a lot; keeps them from sulfating. Make sure the water levels are always good.

Quite impressed with the quality! I was originally looking for a Ctek, the guys suggested I look at the NOCO range so I chose this unit, as it was able to charge 2 cars at once and is wall mountable.

Cables are 3m long to clips so they go across my garage. The item is higher quality in every way than the Ctek, better priced too. Definitely worth considering if you are looking for a new charger.

2 motorcycle batteries, 1 RV battery, and 1 side by side battery charging and maintained all at once. Instead of buying 4 battery maintainers, bought one of these units. hooked them up and green lights all the way around.

It even comes with 10 ft extension cords so you can reach machines all the way around. sitting in an unheated garage seems to have no issues even when it’s -40 outside.

NOCO knocks it out of the park again. Great charger and plenty of accessories. Slim clamps works great in tight engine bays and jet ski hulls. If you need to charge deep cycle batteries or anything over 40Ah this is not the charger for you.

Get the Genius 10×4.

Wow! What luck. I ordered this because my car is on a computer and every so often, the battery drains. Within 5 minutes of using this spectacular DieHard 90-AMP Automatic Charger, my car started. This item is a life saver, and I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs a battery charge.

Thank you, Fingerhut, for this amazing product.

i bought this for emergency car battery jumper and it worked fine with that, but as far as charging my car battery it would not charge it. it keeps shutting down. unfortunately i have not got the box it was sent in anymore.

and dont have a return policy in effect because of the timing, i wouldve returned it long ago if i knew when the time came it wouldnt work. oh well.

I purchased this to replace an ANCIENT battery charger that recently died. The pegs for wrapping the cords on the back aren’t long enough to hold both the electrical cord and the jumper cables and there’s no place to hook the jumper cable ends other than the carry handle.

It will do the job but rather messy to store.

Bought this charger for my Yamaha 36 volt golf cart. Worked great for 9 months then started running all the time – even when disconnected from the golf cart. Contacted the manufacturer about the supposed 18 month warranty.

Explained that the charger was running with the green light on even when the crows foot connection was not plugged into the golf cart. They asked the age of the batteries and the voltage across the crows foot connection on the cart.

I asked what that had to do with the charger running when not connected to the golf cart. Was told either I provide the information on battery and voltage or they would take no further action. Asked what that had to do with the danger of the charger plug still being “hot” when not connected to the cart, the risk of shorts, sparks, and fire if the contact touched metal since they were still “hot”? Again told to answer the battery and voltage question or nothing would be done.

Borrowed voltage meter and emailed that the batteries were 18 month old and the voltage was 37. 5v. Manufacturer now will not respond to my calls on what they plan to do. I’m out $260 for a substandard item.

The antique Original Equipment charger that I got when I bought my 2003 Club Car DS a year and a half ago was heavy and clunky, but it worked. Until last fall, that is. Rather than spend money and effort repairing a very old and clearly beaten up charger, I elected to put the money towards a new one.

I am glad I did. This ModzMax36 is compact, quiet and modern – it “talks” to the batteries before starting a charge cycle and then does the charging job in the best way for the current state of the batteries.

Plus, it functions as a battery maintainer for long term storage! Waaaayyyy better than my old OEM charger! The icing on the cake was that they were having a promotion so I saved a few dollars. It seems to be very nicely constructed, a quality piece.

This charger replaced my original charger. The difference between the two chargers is remarkable. The old charger is heavy and big, Charges quickly, but probably too quickly for the long term use of golf cart batteries.

In fact, lucky to get 5 years out of them with limited summer use. Winter they discharge. The NEW CHARGER charges at 15 amp and trickle charges when left connected to golf cart. Should make batteries last longer and should allow for slow charging over winter to prevent discharge.

The cost of this charger is also substantial less that an original replacement would be. Now I have two chargers.

I bought this item about a month and a half ago. Opened it up and it looked great. Plugged it up lights came on looked as if it was ready to go. I didn’t need to use it right off hand so it remained in my dinning area.

I unpackaged it once again because my truck battery needed charged. The lights came on hooked it up and nothing. The lights stayed on about a minute and it turned off. Very disappointed. I kept trying to get it to work but it just wouldn’t work.

After my Power Wise started blinking the 2 slow red blinks with nothing wrong with batteries, connections, etc, as reported my many people with said charger I ran across this charger. Boy am I glad I did.

After downloading the Google Ap, doing some reading and getting familiar with how it is programed it worked like a champ. After first plugging in the battery charge level on the AP on my phone said the batteries were low and would take about 1,000 hours to charge.

All false, assume it was just the charger taking time to collect all the info it needed. Hours quickly started going down and the next morning yellow light was on indicating full charge with my Trojan batteries.

Cart appears to also have more power/charge now than before. Only issue is the 3 prong cart cable isn’t as long as the Power Wise cable. Think this one is 9 feet and the Power Wise @ 15 feet at a guess.

Saw in a review you can get a 12 foot cable for this but not listed anywhere, would have to call tech support, which I did and they are way too expensive. So, the nice tech support at Lester Electronics when asked stated there is no problem, voltage drop, etc.

for putting the longer Power Wise 3 prong cable on replacing the one that came with it, which I am going to do. This charger doesn’t have Wi-FI which I wish it did so I can check on it when I am away for months, it is just Bluetooth for programming from your phone/ipad when at the charger.

I does have the autocharge feature when voltage drops if detected after 10 days on the charger. A needed option for preventing the batteries from dropping voltage too low and possibly freezing in the winter.

The charger allows for months of inactivity such as for just seasonal user of their carts. Recommend this charger very highly after doing a lot of homework and going to the Lester Electronics website and reading about the company and products.

I purchased through the Golfcart Gargage that would indicate they know what a good charger is through a lot of experience. They will be my go-to in the future for sure!.

Cables were not wired to the charger. Owners manual not included. Charger will not connect to ChargerConnect apt. so profile can be change to allow vehicle lockout. Charger seems to charge battery pack OK.

Lockout should have been done before shipping to customer. This charger is too complicated for most users.

This part works great with major modifications to thru wall mounting hole. Unit had several differences from my current plug. Mainly the fusing kit addition. I fabricated a 5″x5″ x1-12″ thick box to mount to wall so unit will stick out 1-1/2 in thus eliminating battery interference.

Everything else on this old cart has been modified to fit, etc.

Easy instal. Except after instal charger would not come on. Everything was wired correctly. I learned through the charger manual that the computer needed to be reset. Easily done, plug in charger to cart, unplug charger from power for at least 20 seconds.

Plug it back in (all while charger is plugged into cart) to the wall and 15 seconds later it’s charging.

Exact replacement. Easy to install. However it did not fix my problem. Cart will not take a charge. Have new batteries and new charger but still won’t charge. I’m at a loss.

This is a great charger at a very good price from Golf Cart Garage. It arrived quickly,; there was one cable to install and it was up and running. I bought this charger based on all the positive reviews and I am not disappointed.

Once charged, this charger then acts as a maintainer so you do not have to worry about the battery staying charged during periods of non use. This is not the least expensive charger available nor is the most expensive but you usually get what you pay for and after using it I consider this charger a bargain.

This new charger is something else. I was worried about all the bluetooth stuff as I am 60+ and not real good with that stuff. But setting it up was easy, just plug in and it took right off set itself to the 36 volts and charged good.

As far as the bluetooth all I had to do is down load the app and it done the rest. Only thing is I would like to know what the state the batteries are in when I first plug them in. It shows 0% charged when you first plug them in.

Is there an amount of time you have to wait before it reads the batteries before it shows that and is there away you can check on it from home. I have it out at the club in a metal shed. Any help would be wonderful.

Good charger, lots of profiles. I am disappointed that after a power outage it doesn’t go back to the previous settings. That concerns me a bit since I wanted to use this for long term storage of a few batteries.

Would have been nicer if the following: 1) Up to date tracking data could have been available. 2) Would have appreciated a manual or other documentation for the unit. Just came in a box with no data or instructions whatsoever.

A card, booklet, whatever is generally a good position for receiving a unit like this. 3) Unit activated effective June 21. 4) Description of mechanical size and weight would also have been useful in preparing the receiving area.

I was updating a 36-volt golf cart from lead acid batteries to lithium. 5) Would still like a brochure, at least, of the operation of the charger; for instance, the batteries were charged over night, but the charger indications are that the batteries are only charged at 50% of capacity.

How does one read the indicators?.

Don’t buy. I got a 2020 85,000 Ranger with this charger. Had nothing but problems. Took it into the Ranger Dealer 2 times. Dual Pro has been difficult at best for a warranty. Less than 10 months total time and complete garbage.

Friend with 2019 Ranger 521C also had same problem. Dealer had a boat on the sales floor with the same problem and was not able to get Dual Pro to warranty it. Don’t buy unless you want to put 500 dollars in the garbage disposal.

Waist of money. Buy the Minn Kota Precision or Power Pole Charge.

This is by far the worse purchase I have made through BPS. I spent good money on the 3-bank version and went on the reviews I read through BPS. Every single year for the past 4 years I have had the unit fail.

I returned the unit every year for 3 years with a problem. When I asked the rep at Pro Charging Systems about the reliability of this unit I was told I was the anomaly. There is no way I believe that.

I live in the northeast and only get to use my boat 5-6 months a year. My previous on board charger I had last 12 years so clearly something is wrong with the Dual pro chargers and I cannot be the only one.

I would highly recommend BPS stop selling this unit and I would advise anyone looking for a good solid reliable unit to purchased a different brand than Dual Pro.
