SECTION 23 A - ACCU-POWER
BATTERY CHARGER
GENERAL INFORMATION
Each Club Car V-Glide 36 volt electric vehicle is equipped with a fully automatic Accu-Power battery charger.
There are no knobs to turn or buttons to push. The charger will turn on two to five seconds after it is plugged
in, and it will automatically shut off when the batteries are fully charged. The charger automatically compen-
sates for a variable AC voltage between 105 to 128 volts supply and also tapers the charge rate for longer
battery life.
Charging time depends on the age of the batteries and on the amount of use they have experienced. The
charger compensates for these factors by measuring the voltage increase versus time, and shuts off when
the batteries are fully charged. As long as the charger is allowed to shut off by itself, overcharging and under-
charging should be prevented (Figure 23-1). See WARNING below and CAUTION at top of page 23-2.
• THIS SECTION APPLIES TO ALL 36 VOLT VEHICLES USING THE ACCU-POWER CHARGER.
FOR 48 VOLT VEHICLES USING THE POWERDRIVE CHARGER, SEE PAGE 23-27.
FIGURE 23-1
• STUDY AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE WIRING AND TERMINOLOGY OF THE CHARGER

• ONLY TRAINED TECHNICIANS SHOULD REPAIR OR SERVICE THIS CHARGER. ANYONE
DOING EVEN SIMPLE REPAIRS OR SERVICE SHOULD HAVE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
IN GENERAL ELECTRICAL REPAIR. FOLLOW ALL PROCEDURES EXACTLY AND HEED ALL
WARNINGS STATED IN THIS MANUAL.
