E‑Z‑GO TXT 36V Charger & D‑Shaped PowerWise Plug Guide

Quick Specs

• Model years covered: 1996–2010 (typical)
• System voltage: 36V lead‑acid
• OEM plug type: D‑shaped PowerWise 2‑slot
• Works with: 36V smart chargers, 12–18A output

How to Identify Your Charging Port

• The port has a flat side and a rounded side — a stylized “D” silhouette.
• Two large slots, keyed to prevent reverse insertion.
• Common confusion: do not mix with triangle 3‑pin (48V systems).

Recommended Chargers

• A) Standard replacement: 36V 12A–15A smart charger with auto shut‑off.
• B) Faster charging: 36V 18A model; ensure good ventilation and healthy batteries.
• C) Lithium conversions: Use a 36V LiFePO₄ profile charger; match BMS specs.

Wiring & Safety Notes

• Verify polarity before any receptacle replacement; use an inline 30A fuse as specified.
• Check cable temperature during first full charge.
• Store the cart with charger connected if OEM manual requires maintenance charging.

Troubleshooting

• Charger won’t start: pack voltage too low → pre‑charge with a 12V charger pair or enable low‑voltage recovery mode.
• Early stop: sulfation/high internal resistance → equalization (if supported) or battery test.
• Intermittent: loose receptacle lugs or cracked D‑plug housing.

FAQ

• Is every TXT 36V? Earlier TXT are mostly 36V; later TXT48 are 48V triangle‑3‑pin.
• Can I use a 48V charger on 36V? No. Match charger voltage to pack voltage.
• Can I swap to triangle port? Only if you upgrade to 48V system.
