I have a two wire cord ( plus &amp;negative). This charger has a three wire output, will this be a problem?

If the battery is a single 12V then you will have a problem. The 3 prongs (from left to right) are 12v- neutral - 12V . If it has 2 12V batteries and the 3 prong end plugs into the handle or has a dedicated female plug then you'll be OK. For the record most scooters and power chairs I've seen use a 24V system to prolong battery life. Good luck. Richard

I bought 2 PowerGen white 2.1 amp chargers. I emailed them at info@powergenbatt.com with a question that wasn't well explained in their documentation or web site. They replied promptly with the answer and I suggest you contact them for their authoritative answer. I'm guessing that there is no problem for your devices but to be safe get the answer from PowerGen.

I have not experienced any problem. It is a thin wire and everything has worked the 3 times I have used the device.

It shouldn't cause problems. The inverter would only see the voltage from the charger not the current.

The total current drain for the three(3) cords may exceed the maximum rating of the 3-prong outlet. If this is the case , I suggest you use the RV Plug since an RV to Standard Outlet Adapter is relatively inexpensive compared to the Twist -Lock Connector that would be needed.Good luck and God Bless America !!!wysansi2008

update -- i just read the prior answer -- important!!!! the prior respondent said the output on his charger said 6vdc. if that is correct my response is incorrect...and output of 12vdc will indeed harm the batteries. don't use 12vdc output charger.

No, not recommended. If the required load to maintain the two batteries (assuming they are wired in parallel) is unbalanced, this can damage the charger. These are cheap chargers, save yourself some grief and buy two.

If your set up for 24v you have to disconnect cable. Otherwise you would have a direct short and ruin your charger. Maybe there are chargers out there that are 24v rated? Mine is set up for 12v (2 batteries connected parallel) , that is "+" to plus and "-" to minus. That way no disconnect is needed. Hope this helps...

I bought a defective device. I am not sure if it replaces 2 wire device. I would not buy this product

I have a 3 prong cord and it works fine, and I have had the cord for a while now,and never have had a problem..Hope this helps.

Usually you use the two outside terminals or whichever ones are marked + and -. Polarity does not seem to matter to the charger.

Yes, the AC voltage/Frequency will be converted to a lower DC voltage for charging purposes so there should not be a problem. Just be sure you use the appropriate voltage that your charger is rated for.

No. The charger would be damaged if your device needed 2 amps and the charger only provided 1 amp. The 2 amp rating means it could charge 2, 1 amp devices at the same time. I've used it many times without issue on a variety of devices.

make sure the positive is connected to the positive, and the negative to the negative. i have many battery tenders and solar panels that all use this plug and some are wired one way and some are wired the other.

First, you'd best ask spark chaser (i.e. somebody REALLY smart with electricity).Second, a replacement charger has an output of 5V and 2.0 Amps, so if you plug your USB/40pin wire into the 5V 2.1A outlet it should work.That's all i got.

Yes, this charger has only two prongs and its not polarized. It can also handle AC input between 100-240 Volts at either 50/60Hz.

Make sure that the output on the charger is 2 Amp. It won't charge on anything less
