Re: [EVDL] Need to find a blocking diode for charger output

2022-03-21 Thread Bill Dube via EV
Mount a five (5) pin male connector ("inlet") on the side of the golf 
cart for the 120 VAC cord.


Connect the 120 VAC hot, neutral, and ground using three (3) of the 
pins, A, B, C, in both the golf cart and the cord portions of the connector.


In the golf cart, use the two (2) remaining pins, D and E,  to complete 
the DC charging circuit. One pin, D, is connected to, say, the charger 
negative lead lead. The other pin, E, is connected to the battery 
negative terminal.


In the cord portion of the connector, connect the two pins, D, and E, to 
each other.


When you are done charging your golf cart, disconnect the cord from 
wall, and then from the golf cart using this connector.


Done.

Bill D.

Why are you unplugging the charger?
Typical Li-Ion chargers or BMS will shut off the power into the
battery when max level is reached.

Not to speak for Mr Nelso, and maybe I'm minunderstanding or misinterpreting
him, but but here is his answer from the same message you replied to.

"this charger puts a continuous 0.12A drain on the battery when the charger
is not plugged in. This golf cart is sometimes parked for a few months
during the winter and I don't want the charger running the battery flat."
