Abstract: For a torsion-free abelian group $A$, we investigate the problem of determining when $End(A)$ is maximal as a ring in the near-ring of all $0$-preserving functions on $A$. We introduce the concept of quasi-$End(A)$-locally cyclic groups and determine several properties of these abelian groups.
