Battery Charger, QuiQ™ – Electric Vehicles
New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from 50 to 70
times.
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge between charges until the batteries have
been properly seasoned (50 to 70 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that
electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge or each night in order to avoid
deep discharging the batteries.
When temperatures fall below 65 °F (18.3 °C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be placed on
charge as soon as possible after use. Batteries are warmest immediately after use, while cold batteries
require more time to fully charge.
1.
Insert the onboard charger AC plug into a dedicated and properly wired AC receptacle to begin a charge cycle.
See QuiQ™ Battery Charger Specifications on page 67.
NOTE:
Only connect
ONE
charger to a single 15 amp circuit, or the circuit may become overloaded.
2.
Place the charger AC cord so it will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to damage or stress.
3.
Do not place items in the compartment where the battery charger is installed.
After the charger is plugged in, the vehicle’s control circuit is locked out, preventing operation of the vehicle as well as
the possibility of subsequent damage to the charger and vehicle.
The charger monitors battery voltage, charge current and charge time to determine when the batteries are properly
charged. The charger will shut off by itself and the green light will stop flashing and remain on.
The vehicle’s control circuit lockout remains activated until the charger AC plug is disconnected from the AC receptacle.
CHARGER MAINTENANCE – QUIQ BATTERY CHARGERS
See General Warnings on page 10.
To ensure trouble-free performance, it is very important to follow an established preventive maintenance program.
Regular and consistent maintenance can prevent vehicle downtime and expensive repairs that can result from neglect.
Any charger not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further
damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions.
Contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service.
WARNING
• If any problems are found during scheduled inspection or service, do not operate the vehicle until
repairs are made. Failure to make necessary repairs can result in fire, property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry, such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the charger.
• Do not expose charger to oil, dirt, mud or direct heavy water spray when cleaning vehicle.
• Keep all AC connections clean and dry.
• If the detachable input power supply cord set is damaged, replace with a cord that meets the following criteria:
For North
America:
UL or CSA listed/approved detachable cord, 3 conductor, 16AWG minimum, and rated SJT; terminating in a
grounding type IEC 60320 C14 plug rated 250V, 13A minimum.
For all other
countries:
Safety approved detachable cord, 3 conductor, 1.5mm² minimum, rated appropriately for industrial use. The cord
set must be terminated on one end with a grounding type input connector appropriate for use in the country of
destination and, on the other end, an output grounding type IEC 60320 C14 plug.
