There's probably a 5a one out there. I bought a 5a 72v one a while back.

Wow, that is cheap! And it is virtually my exact charger, but higher amperage. And mine has the plug with a male stem inside a round barrel. It only has +/- and no ground (I think), unlike this three prong which is grounded. What would I do with the ground wire? Maybe an adapter? Cut it and wrap it? I suppose I could dismantle the battery box and replace the female plug instead. Hmmmm.... I wish there was still a plug and play but I have been looking and suddenly they all seem to be three prong.
