WARNING
• See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
• The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-5).
Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and
receptacle and could cause batteries to explode (Figure 5-5, Page 5-5).
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the PowerDrive 2 battery charger (model numbers
22110-11, 22110-18, and 22110-19). Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly
identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor.
The PowerDrive 2 battery charger is automatic and has no external controls
(Figure 5-1, Page 5-1)
. When
the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins.
NOTE: All vehicles except Precedent:
Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut off in order to
run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments
(ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and at two hours
into the charge cycle.
The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the
charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then
shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer
accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batter-
ies.
