WARNING
• Do not rock or bend the DC plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp
the plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 5-4, Page 5-7).
3. Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps,
depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial
charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input
voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the
initial charge rate.
4. Monitor the ammeter. Under normal operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are
discharged), the charger will shut off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero)
one hour and two hours into the charge cycle
.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been used for only
a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes).
When air temperatures fall below 65 °F (18.3 °C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be
placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge.
New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from
20 to 50 times.
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge between charges until the bat-
teries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car
recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or
each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries; use the CDM (Communication Display
Module) (CCI P/N 101831801).
See Communication Display Module (CDM) in Section 11 of
the appropriate maintenance and service supplement.
