Battery experts - golf cart

[2oldman]

The GF's 36v golf cart needs batteries. I donated 6-12v 80ah AGMs, but the local cart guy is saying they won't charge properly because the charger expects "a certain amount of lead". That sounds ridiculous, but, there's a spec written on the charger saying it's designed for "18 cells" meaning, 6-6v batteries. I'm claiming that chargers recognize voltage alone, and the number of cells or amount of lead makes no difference.

I'm awaiting a response from the Lester charger people on this. What say you battery gurus?

Finish voltage 14.4
Finish amperes ,30 that's point three zero.

Time is the factorial. Hopefully you can manually limit time on that charger.

Sounds like the golf car mechanic has a surplus of lead
50% of which lies between the ears
And you know where to find the remainder.

Ah yes, correct. 18 cells in series, then in parallel. Thanks!

Either way it is the same number of cells in series. You have three in series and two parallel yes? Still 18 cells. Hopefully the charger goes 43/44 volts for absorption.

There are many technicians who really need to go back to school.

And don't even talk about salesmen.

The cart guy has put the horse behind him.
