WARNING
• Do not jump-start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.
The battery in a Club Car gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low-maintenance battery that requires infrequent
watering
(Figure 27) .
Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking
soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this
solution to get into the battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 12 ft-lb (16
N·m)). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI 1014305).
See
following CAUTION.

CAUT ION
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as
necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in a
fire, property damage, or personal injury.
