Golf Cart Chargers

A reliable golf cart charger keeps your cart ready every time you hit the road, course, or trail. We have trusted 36V and 48V chargers compatible with all major brands, such as EZGO, Yamaha, and Club Car.

Here are the models that match your cart’s voltage, plug type, and charging needs.

Why the Right Charger Changes Everything

A golf cart charger isn’t just a tool you plug in. It’s what keeps your cart dependable day after day. The right charger protects your battery, helps it last longer, and makes sure it performs the way it should.

If your charger isn’t a good match, your battery could charge unevenly or wear out faster. That means weak power, shorter run time, and costly replacements. But when you use a charger built for your cart’s voltage and battery type, you give it the support it needs to stay strong.

A proper charger:

• Extends battery life so you don’t have to replace it as often
  
  

• Improves power output so your cart runs smoother and longer
  
  

• Prevents overcharging, which can damage the battery and other components

Types of Golf Cart Chargers We Offer 

Finding the right charger depends on a few key things- your cart’s voltage, the type of battery it uses, and the plug connection. Here’s a clear breakdown of the options available on this page to help you choose with confidence.

By Voltage

We carry chargers for the most common golf cart voltage setups.

A 36 volt charger is typically used in older carts or lighter-use vehicles. It’s a great match for many classic Club Car and EZGO models.

The 48 volt charger is the most popular option today. It’s built for modern carts like the EZGO RXV, Yamaha Drive, and Club Car Precedent. If you’re shopping for an EZGO charger 48 volt or a Yamaha 48 volt charger, you’ll find several dependable options right here.

Some carts, especially performance-focused or customized ones, use 72 volt systems. We offer charger options for those as well.

By Battery Type

We support both lead-acid and lithium battery systems.

Lead-acid covers flooded wet cells, AGM, and gel types. Most standard carts still use this type, and we carry chargers that are compatible with all of them.

If your cart has been upgraded to lithium, you’ll need a charger designed with a lithium charging profile. These charge faster and more efficiently but must match the battery's chemistry.

By Charger Type

You’ll find both onboard and portable chargers.

Onboard chargers mount directly inside the cart. They’re great for commercial fleets, or carts used every day. Portable chargers plug in externally and are easy to store. They’re ideal for personal carts or occasional use.

By Brand Compatibility

Each golf cart brand has its own plug style. That’s why we offer chargers made specifically for EZGO, Yamaha, and Club Car carts.

For example, EZGO uses Powerwise or SB50 plugs, Yamaha may use MAC plugs, and Club Car often requires a round 3-pin design. Always double-check your charger port before ordering.

How to Choose the Best Golf Cart Battery Charger

Choosing the right battery charger for your golf cart isn’t complicated. But getting it wrong can cost you time, money, and battery life. Here's how to make sure you pick the charger that fits your cart and your needs.

Step 1: Find Your Cart’s Voltage

Most golf carts are either 36V or 48V. If you’re not sure, lift the seat and count how many battery caps are visible on each battery. Multiply that number by 2, then multiply by the number of batteries.
For example:
6 caps × 2 volts = 12V battery
6 batteries × 12V = 72V system

Most common setups:

• 6 x 6V = 36V
  
  

• 6 x 8V = 48V

Step 2: Identify Your Battery Type

Carts typically run on lead-acid or lithium batteries. Lead-acid includes wet cell, AGM, and gel. Lithium systems need a charger built specifically for that chemistry.

Step 3: Match the Plug Style

Check the connector on your cart. Different brands use different styles like Powerwise, SB50, Crowsfoot, or MAC plugs. Matching the plug ensures a safe and secure fit.

Step 4: Confirm Brand Compatibility

Make sure the charger is designed for your cart model- EZGO, Club Car, or Yamaha- to avoid connection issues.

Step 5: Look for Helpful Features

Modern chargers often include smart features like auto shut-off, LED status indicators, or cooling fans. These add safety ease of use, and extend battery life.

Our Chargers’ Top Features That Add Real Value

Some features don’t get much attention - but they make a big difference in how well your charger performs and how long your golf cart batteries last. These aren’t just add-ons. They protect your investment and make everyday charging easier and safer.

Reverse polarity protection helps prevent damage if the cables are ever connected the wrong way. It shuts things down safely so your battery and charger stay protected.

Temperature compensation adjusts charging power based on weather conditions. This helps avoid overcharging in hot climates and undercharging in cold ones.

LCD displays or tri-color LED indicators let you see the charging progress at a glance. You’ll always know if your battery is full, charging, or if there’s an issue.

Automatic shut-off is one of the most useful features. Once the battery is fully charged, the charger turns off on its own to avoid overcharging.

Many of our chargers also come with an IP65 or IP66 rating, meaning they’re sealed against dust and water splashes—perfect for garages, sheds, or light outdoor use.

Plus, their lightweight and compact designs make them easy to move and store.

Helpful Tips to Protect Your Golf Cart Charger

Your golf cart charger plays a big role in keeping your batteries healthy. Taking care of it doesn’t take much effort - but it makes a big difference in how long it lasts and how well it performs.

Start by storing your charger indoors or in a dry, covered area. Moisture, dust, and temperature swings can wear it down faster than you think.

Don’t wrap the cords too tightly when putting it away. That can lead to cracked wires and weak connections over time. Instead, coil the cord loosely and avoid sharp bends.

If the charging port gathers dust or grime, wipe it gently with a dry cloth. Avoid water or harsh cleaners - just a quick, careful clean now and then is enough.

It’s smart to unplug your charger during storms or unstable power conditions to avoid power surges. Using a surge protector adds an extra layer of safety.

Finally, plug it into a direct wall outlet whenever possible. Avoid daisy-chaining with power strips or extension cords. Chargers need a stable connection to work properly.

A little care goes a long way. Treat your charger well, and it’ll keep your golf cart ready to roll for years to come.

Common Problems and Easy Fixes

Even the best golf cart charger can run into small hiccups. The good news? Most issues are simple to solve once you know what to look for. Here are some common problems and what you can do to fix them.

If your charger isn’t turning on at all, start by checking the power source. Make sure the outlet is working and that the charger’s fuse hasn’t blown. Also, check that the plug is fully connected to both the wall and the cart.

Seeing a blinking red light or error code? That usually means something minor is out of place. Take a look at the manual that came with your charger - many models include reset instructions. In most cases, a quick restart will get things back to normal.

If your charger doesn’t seem to recognize the battery, double-check the battery’s voltage level and polarity. Weak or deeply discharged batteries may need to be jump-started or replaced before the charger can detect them.

And if the cart still won’t move after a full charge, don’t assume it’s the charger. It could be an issue with the cart’s solenoid, controller, or wiring.

These minor fixes can save you time, stress, and unnecessary replacements. When your charger is working right, your whole cart runs better.

FAQs

Got questions about golf cart battery chargers? Here are the answers to some of the most common things people ask before they buy.

Can I use a 48V charger on a 36V cart?

No. Always match the charger voltage to your golf cart’s battery system. Using the wrong voltage can damage the charger or battery.
