Can you use a 48v charger to charge 36v Yamaha cart batteries

I really don't know. I have a club car with 6 batteries. It works very well with my cart. I don't see why not if your cart uses standard golf cart batteries.

I work at batteries plus. No you cannot! It will burn out the cells in the batteries. Never use more volt to charge less volt.

I honestly don't know - I love the charger I bought, it works great. But the best thing to do is check with the manufacturer, or go to their web site and read the specifications. It may hurt to overdue it, and it might be fine. I really don't know, sorry.

Yes. The Black & Decker website clearly states that all their 40V MAX products are fully compatible with the 36V lithium ion system. Additionally, all the product numbers end in 36, even for the battery and charger. That indicates that even the chargers are interchangeable.

Yes. I checked the number on our 40-volt batteries and it is the same. We have used it to charge both the 36 and the 40 volt.

No. The batteries are in series typically 36 or 48 volt systems. If you were to hook this up to only one 12v battery in a golfew cart it would drain the battery unevenly and damage that battery

Yes and no. It is universal for anything that has 36 volts. You must be able to tap the batteries at 36volts. If you have a 48 volt cart, it won't work because you have 8,16,24,32,40&48 volts available. A 36volt cart has 6,12,18,24,30&36 volts available

No. It doesn't work very well on the 48 volt system. My batteries are depleted before the diode lights are showing that it should be half charge. 12 volts probably would not even light up one of the lights.

This charger is designed for Star Car golf Carts only. If you have a Club Car Golf cart, you need to determine if you have an On Board Controller or not. If you do and it has not been bypassed, then you need to order a 48 volt 15 amp Power Supply Charger for Club Car. If you do not have an On Board Controller, then you will need a 48 volt 17 amp golf cart charger for Club Car. The 17 amp charger has a control board built inside of it while the 15 amp power supply works with the on board controller to charge the batteries. Thank you CAR Partners, LLC

Your charge controller needs to be able to handle 48v input...Morningstar TriStar can, and the Renogy PWM 30 Amp w/LCD can also. Check out pvdepot.com and batterystuff.com-- both have good info for sizing your system correctly.

I would say no. This unit has a hard time working with 48v for some reason. I have been very dissatisfied with mine. It should say 36v or 24v as that is all I have ever been able to get it to charge properly on. It will only charge 48v for a few minutes before shutting down.

I don't believe it can fully charge a 36 volt battery. If you use it a few times for what it can charge the battery you could damage the battery and not have it ever charge to 36 volts. I had those 24 volt chargers go bad after awhile so I cut the charging cable off, went to walmart and bought a better charger meant for a child's riding toy. I spliced the cable to it and have never had a problem again. The charger at walmart was $49.95 and it took 5 minutes to splice the cable. Just be sure to get hot and ground wires spliced correctly. God Bless... Rob

Certainly. I use mine to charge 4, 6-volt golf cart batteries that are run in series.

Works great for golf cart batteries @48 volt six 8 volt batteries will and should work fine for marine batteries

If you connect a 36 volt charger to a 12 volt battery the charger will not start the charging process because it senses that there is a problem with the batteries. That is the way it is supposed to work. If it actually started to charge it would eventually destroy the battery. If you have any further questions or concerns please feel free to contact us directly at 561-338-8843. Sincerely, Samantha Thompson

You do not connect the BK to a 48 volt system!!!! It is a 12 volt charger. To charge 4 batteries at one time they MUST be in parallel!!!

Check to see which two battery terminals are 48 volts on your battery pack. They will be the+ and - terminals with the cables that run to the charger port and the controller attached. When you hook the charger cables to the battery pack, make sure to hook the red clip to the positive+ post and black cable to the minus - post. Hope this helps. For best results leave it plugged into 110 outlet all the time you are not using the cart. This way your batteries are ready when you are. I love these things. I use them on all my carts.

No! Techno geeks will tell you yes. Experience tells you no. You need a voltage reducer for a 48 volt system or there is a good chance of ruining it.

I have an 1989 TXT. I've put brand new batteries in it (US 2200) and it takes several hours to charge. We're talking in the 6-8 hour range and I've never had the cart below 60% charge. This charger comes with an Anderson style plug, it looks smaller than what came with my original charger but it does fit into the cart receptacle perfectly, so if your cart has an Anderson style plug (SB 50) then it should fit perfectly.
