Short Answer: Yes, most likely. It's primarily found in 48 volt Club Cars.

Club Car began incorporating the OBC into their carts around the 1995 model year, and continued to utilize it until the introduction of newer charging systems around 2013.5. Specifically, Club Car Precedent Excel cars manufactured from October 2013 onwards with the E.R.I.C. charge system no longer rely on the OBC for battery charging and status monitoring.

The Onboard Computer is a critical part in Club Car golf carts, it basically removes a component typically located within a charger and installs it into the golf cart, regulating battery charging and providing vital battery status information. The OBC plays several key roles, including regulating battery charging, controlling warning lights, and memorizing battery charge usage. It even allows for convenient features like automated battery checks and shutdowns to prevent overcharging. Additionally, the OBC has undergone multiple upgrades over the years to improve reliability and functionality. It plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and performance of the cart's electrical system. For those looking to bypass the OBC, it can be circumvented through wiring adjustments and the purchase of an alternative charger. If you have any questions feel free to ask
