I have a Club Car golf cart and wanted a backup battery charger for it in case the original charger had any problems. The fact that the GBCPRO is advertised as being able to charge golf carts as well as other lower voltage applications including common 12v batteries, I ordered one.

The package arrived in good condition. I unpacked the GBCPRO and was immediately impressed with the different adapter plugs and leads that came with it. I read through the manual then decided to charge a deep cycle 12v marine battery I have. The battery charged fine in about 8 hours and the GBCPRO switched to maintenance mode as the manual stated. So far so good.

The problems started when I tried charging my 48v Club Car golf cart. I installed the three prong round adapter plug appropriate for the Club Car's charge receptacle, plugged in the power cord for the GBCPRO, then plugged the charge cord into the golf cart. The GBCPRO successfully detected the 48v battery system in the cart, I switched the charger to wet cell mode, then pressed the charge button. After about 20 seconds the GBCPRO indicated the golf cart had a full charge which I know it did not. I double-checked the golf cart's batteries with my Fluke digital multimeter and the batteries were only at 45v. I tried several more times with the same results. When I used the voltage button on the GBCPRO, it said my golf cart batteries were at 56.5v which they were not.

I then tried the ring terminal adapter cable to connect the GBCPRO directly to the golf cart batteries without using the round golf cart plug adapter. The GBCPRO did detetct the 48v battery system, charged for about 30 minutes, then indicated a full charge. However the cart's batteries were still only at 45v.

I figured the GBCPRO wasn't going to help me with my golf cart but I was still satisfied as it did a fine job with the 12v deep cycle battery I had charged earlier. Unfortunately about two weeks later when I tried charging the same 12v deep cycle battery again, the GBCPRO made a loud pop sound after only about 30 seconds of charging and I could smell an electrical burning smell emitting from the GBCPRO.

The GBCPRO is back on its way to Amazon for a refund. Since purchasing it I've also read a few other's experiences with the GBCPRO on a golf cart message forum that were similar to mine. I guess that is the reason they seem to be priced for clearance. I tried calling the support number included in the manual several times but all I got was a message that they were closed for the holiday though there has been no common holiday for several weeks.

I had an industrial battery charger go bad on my boom lift. Every replacement I could find was at least $300 many were $400. Additionally, many of them were rated for a lower amperage. The Stanley charger does a great job charging my 4 6v deep cycles. It was about the same price as many other 12v chargers but with the flexibility to charge almost system. The only draw back to this charger is that I have to set the battery type and tell it to perform a fast charge every time I plug it in. This is only a drawback because I use it for work almost every day but I still think it is not worth four time the money just so that I wouldn't have to press the buttons every time.

If you need a charger for atvs, golf carts, cars or industrial equipment I would definitely recommend this one.
