Why a discontinued charger that will be hard to get support or repaired?
Perhaps others can suggest an alternative 3kW charger for your 180VDC pack
(I am assuming it is Li-ion).
The EMW charger should be considered:

So the T105 is $150/(6v x 75a x 1.75hr) = $0.19/wh.
The Sam's Club is $80/(6v x 75a x 1.75hr) = $0.10/wh.
I didn't check SAMs' battery claims. I had assumed less capacity than
T105s.
I'm not sure what your "all or nothing" replacement means. You

Well, Robert, how so? I presented three golf cart packs, each offering
about 100ah of usable capacity. Where did I go astray?
- six T105s would be about $900.
- 12 TS-LPF100s: about $1500 + $300 BMS

Thanks! Bottom line, take away: 50-90 ah on a fresh lead pack.
It's not quite that bad. The Peukert effect does not change the ACTUAL

Continuing to cogitate on ebike batteries: can anyone give me a good
estimate of the number of ah one can pull from a lead golf cart

The way it's setup, it's 0 when the pack is fully charged, and counts UP as you drive. I

I'm using two parallel 20ah 36v ebike batteries in a golf cart with good
