Helpful hints for choosing the right charger:
- Choose according to the connector, the connector can be redesigned, but it is better if you take out a charger with a suitable connector
- Be careful when choosing the correct charging voltage, for example, for a 36V li-ion charger, the correct voltage is 41.5V-42V, but for a 36V lead SLA battery, the voltage is 43.5-44V.
- 2A is suitable for smaller 4-12Ah batteries, 4-5A can be used for a capacity above 12Ah. (You can choose according to the original charger)
- The fan is great especially with 4-5A chargers.
- 2A is sufficient with passive cooling for a laptop adapter type charger
- To be sure, before charging for the first time, measure the polarity with a multimeter just to be sure
- Not charging in the sun in high heat is not good for battery or charger without ventilation.

Changing the connectors on the charger:
You have 4 options:
- Unclip the connector in the cable (do not wait at the connector to be sure so that you can solder the connector back)

- Disassemble the connector (XLR, 3Pin GX16 types can be disassembled)
- Use reduction
- Always check the polarity with a multimeter, the color of the electrical wires may not always be according to the standard.
- Insulate the connections thoroughly with shrink tapes and sleeves or electrician’s tape.
- Red is +, black is minus, best check with a multimeter.
- Look at the charging voltage for 36V/48V, you distinguish chargers for lead and lithium chargers.
- In aliexpress Tangspower seller in aliexpress has different chargers with different connectors.
