Can I charge my 36 volt golf cart with a regular battery charger?

Golf carts operate on multiple 6-volt or 8-volt deep cycle batteries. Golf carts usually come with their own charger, however a car charger can also be used to charge a golf cart. The trick is matching the voltage of the charger to the voltage of the batteries.

Can you charge a 36v battery with a 42V charger?

If that 42V charger was built to charge that 36V li-ion battery, then you can do it. If that charger was not built to charge that battery, do not do it or you risk battery damage and fire.

Can you charge a 36 volt battery?

Three Stage Battery Charging The target voltage for a 36 volt charger for AGM or some flooded batteries is 2.4 to 2.45 volts per cell, which is 43.2 to 44.1 volts. Recharge time can be approximated by dividing the amp hours to be replaced by 90\% of the rated output of the charger.

Can you use a 48 volt charger on a 36 volt golf cart?

No. You must match volts to volts. A 36V cart requires a 36 volt golf cart charger. A 48V cart requires a 48 volt golf cart charger.

Can you charge a 36 volt battery with a 48 volt charger?

Generally speaking, yes, yes it will. No matter what kind of battery you’re charging, if you hook up a 36v battery to a 48v charger and let it charge to completion, you’re going to ruin your battery.

How long does it take to charge a 36v lithium battery?

A lithium ion ebike battery that is fully depleted will take 3.5 to 6 hours to recharge. Batteries that still have a partial charge when you start charging will take less. In addition, the last hour or so of a charge is used to “top-off” the cells, and you don’t have to wait for that process to be completed.

Can I charge a 36 volt battery with a 48 volt charger?

How do you charge a 12 volt battery with a 36 volt charger?

Originally Answered: Can you charge a 36v battery with a 12v charger? Get a DC to DC step up converter that can take the 12v and step it up to 36 volt. However, since you’re using it as a charger, you’ll need to step it up to 37 or 38 volt in order to charge a 36v battery.

How many volts is a full charge on a 36 volt golf cart?

For example: a 36v battery pack will read 38.2v fully charged. Maximum drop under load should not be more than 6v below 38.2v equal to 32 volts or less.

Can I charge a 6 volt battery with a 12V Charger?

, have worked with TTL and CMOS for thirty years. Still learning. If the battery is 6 volts and the charger is rated for 12V batteries, then the answer is … sort of maybe. You see, all batteries regardless of type, require a defined charging current and a maximum terminal voltage.

How many 12 volt batteries are in a 36 volt battery?

In case it is a traction battery comprising of 2 volt cells connected in series you can possibly connect a group of 6 cells and charge the 36 volt battery as a set of 3 nos of 12 volt batteries. In case it is a set of golf cart batteries of 6 volts each or 12 volts each it is possible to charge these as a 12 volt set.

Will a 12 volt charger reset a 36V battery?

Only a charge will reset the ‘off switch’ that is built into the device. A 12volt charger may, perhaps, raise the terminal voltage of a completely flat 36volt battery to 12volts, or a little more, but the charge in the battery will not be significant.

What happens if you exceed the voltage on a battery charger?

If you exceed the maximum terminal voltage, then the battery behaviour will vary depending on the cell type. Fire and explosion are also possible. You will certainly degrade the battery life and performance. If the battery is 6 volts and the charger is rated for 12V batteries, then the answer is … sort of maybe.
