So far, so good. It does seem a nicer quality item than the prior ones I had, it has a temp sensor on the leads, and both the AC and DC cords are substantially beefier as well. Upon plugging it it does a brief self-test (it takes about 10-15 seconds to begin charging), so that's a plus from a safety perspective (neither off-brand had a temp sensor and would just instantly supply current when plugged in). The fan is relatively quiet, and one huge difference is it runs much cooler. Another brand I had would get to 140-150* F after an hour or so of charging. This one barely goes over 100, it's only slightly warm to the touch even after several hours charging, which is hopefully a good sign it won't "burn out" in 6 months. The only con is it's only 15 amp output vs the others were 18 and 20, so it's a little slower to charge. The battery BMS reports bang on 15 amps charge current coming in so it's exactly as advertised, and being nobody is road-tripping a golf cart charge time is kinda irrelevant, but now it's about 6.5hrs to charge instead of 5 on a 105ah battery (of course depending how deeply it's discharged). Not a big deal but something to note. Review: Works Great, but… - Ok, so the but is there so you’ll read further. I converted my Yamaha golf cart from lead-acid batteries to a single 48V lithium battery. My old charger was not designed for lithium batteries so I bought this Form Charger designed for lithium batteries. It worked great for the first couple months. Then it didn’t. It didn’t because my battery drained to zero. Probably because I let it sit idle for 3 weeks without being in tow mode. The battery seemed to have endless power. But it self drained, likely as a result of the controller using some juice. As a result, the charger was not recognizing the battery (a complaint others have noted in their reviews, but there is nothing wrong with the charger). I contacted the seller who quickly replied with a recommended solution. The Form battery will not revive a dead battery, because similar to most chargers, it’s not designed to revive batteries that have lost all power. So the seller’s suggestion was to connect another 48V constant power source to bring it back to life. There are a few alternatives to do this. For $55 after 50% discount I bought a Lithova repair charger on desertcart and recharged the battery to 100% it took about 12 hours. I then reconnected the Form Charger and voila. It worked as it should. I cannot say enough about the awesome communication I received from the seller. Though all communication was via email, I received prompt responses to each of my inquiries. I highly recommend the Form Charger. ## Features - 48V LITHIUM (LiFePO4) GOLF CART CHARGER - Purpose-built for 48 Volt (51.2V) LiFePO4 lithium golf cart batteries, this onboard charger delivers a clean 15A charge through ring terminals for easy mounting. 80% lighter than the OEM model. - SET IT & FORGET IT MAINTENANCE MODE - Enjoy worry-free charging with our ‘Set it & Forget it’ maintenance mode.

The charger failed after 23 months of use, the charger was still under warranty. I simply contacted the vendor and they made it right and FAST! They contacted me in less than 12 hours and I had the new charger right away, no hassles, great communication!
