50 AMP UPGRADE KIT
Battery Charger Repair Kit Club Car 48 Volt (PowerDrive2 #22110)
Most battery chargers fail due to overheated electronics. Manufacturers
specify electrical components used in chargers with enough capacity to 'get by'
and pass their testing while maintaining the most profit they can get. If your
charger has failed (and they all will at some point)DO NOT make the mistake of
replacing the failed components with the same part that will only fail again.
By using the correct, higher rated components, you will get a much longer life
out of your charger! My kit includes the following:
Rectifier - Probably the single most frequent component to fail in the
charger. Heat causes it to fail. Running 30 amps through a 30 amp rated part
cause the part to generate a lot of heat and the shortest life. My part is
rated for 50 amps. The charger will still run 30 amps through it but it will
last much longer as it can take much more heat. Also included is a
Hi-Performance thermal paste.
Relay - These are also prone to heat/current failures. A relay that is rated
for 30 amps and switches 30 amps is running at full load and wears out the
fastest. My relay is rated for 40 amps. This is the highest rated relay in the
industry that has the same package size and will mount as a direct replacement
to the TE/P&B original relay.
Replacing the components is very simple:
FIRST – Make sure the charger is unplugged.
Second – remove the cover and take a picture from your cell phone of the
wiring so you can replace exactly the same.
Third – remove 1 component at a time and replace with the new one. Replace all
wires as they were originally. Fourth – Replace cover and all screws.
