High Performance GEM Car
Charging Systems For Most GEM Cars
| The speed, acceleration and MOST
IMPORTANTLY RANGE of your GEM Car is directly effected by the condition and
performance of your batteries. Constant "under-charging" and
"single-cycle" charging, which is unavoidable with stock charging
systems, will degrade battery performance. |

Charging System
Product Sheet |
Ride-4-Fun
charging systems allows batteries to provide peak battery performance by
delivering up to a 20% increased charge. In addition, batteries can be
maintained at full-charge for any length of time through an innovative
"Floating" charge feature .
Issues with stock
charging systems:
GEM cars are equipped with 130 amp
hour rated batteries, however the stock charging system is only rated for 110
amp hours. Everyday charging, even at full charge, creates a routine under
charge condtion that causes sulfur to build-up on the lead plates This
build-up restricts acid contact with the the plates, reducing the effectiveness
of the batteries. Even newer batteries get tired, while used ones
suffer a premature death.
Stock charging systems are
"single cycle" - that is they complete a single charging session and
won't continue to charge or maintain a full GEM car charge. This makes it very
difficult and inconvenient to keep batteries fully charged for an extended
period of time. This results in a drastic reduction in battery life, particularly
in vehicles that are stored during an off-season.
Ride-4-Fun

Ride-4-Fun
custom charging systems are programmed and
designed to:
-
Provide a full 130 amp hour
charge to maximize your GEM battery power capacity - And now available in
150 amp charging capacity for those upgrading to 150 amp hour batteries.
-
Eliminate sulfur build-up
allowing your battery pak to provide optimum acceleration, speed and
range.
-
Provide a "Floating"
charge that will keep batteries fully charged for any length of time. The
charging system is programmed to detect a drop in charge and will
automatically restore a full charge.
-
Extend battery life through
peak battery performance and maintenance of full charge.
