John T. I run the maintenence shop for the local golf course here in county. I hate to be the one to burst your dream scheme but it may not work as you have it designed! The reason is the golf cart probably has a switch in the system that prevents operation while the charger is connected to the cart. I know Club Car and Yamaha have this feature and most likely EZ-Go will also have it. You may have to try and disable or wire around it. This is to prevent people from driving off and destroying the charger. You need to see if the cart will run with the charger plugged in the cart socket and the charger loaded in the cart so it won't get dragged around. Your cart is most likely a solid state controller system with the charger that is controlled by a circut board inside the charger. The chargers we use on our carts will not stand much vibration/bouncing around before the circuit boards go up in smoke. A state of charge meter would be a good investment for this. The automatic chargers have voltage sensing relays that measure the voltage and start up. The relay has to sense about 28 volts to kick the charger on. Then it turns the charger off at 42-45 volts or a preset number of hours. you may need one of the older EZ-GO chargers that just have a timer knob if the automatic charger won't kick in. Curios to know if it does work for you, please post results of your effort. One bit of advice; these batteries do not need to be drawn down below 50% charge many times unless you have a deep pocket for replacing them. You would be wise to check the water level in the batteries before doing this much running continously and check all cable ends for tightness because a loose cable will burn the post off of a battery in a few minutes. The Trojan T-105 batteries are now $110 each in my part of the country. Just put a set of 6 in my Yamaha cart in Janurary. Gene Davis
