WARNING
• See General Warning, Section 1, Page 1-1.
• The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle (Figure 3-8,
Page 3-10). 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 3-9, Page 3-10).
GENERAL INFORMATION
This section includes information pertaining to service of the Export PowerDrive battery charger (model num-
bers 18780-11 and 18780-18). Depending on the geographic region, the charger provided with your vehicle
may be a different model. 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 battery charger is automatic and has no external controls
(Figure 3-1, Page 3-1)
. When the
charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins.
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, 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).
The onboard computer (OBC) records the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle is used, then directs
the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger shuts
off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging.
