When the vehicle is in operation, the warning light will come on and remain illuminated if:
• Batteries voltage drops below 48 when there is no load on the batteries (the vehicle is stopped and
there are no accessories on).
• Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity.
If the warning light comes on when the vehicle is operating, there will be enough power remaining to drive the
vehicle for approximately 30 minutes. However, the vehicle should be charged at the first opportunity. If the
warning light comes on and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car distributor/
dealer check the vehicle for a possible battery or electrical system problem.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to the charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4)
the charger malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
• The warning light will not come on if the charge is 90% or more complete. The on-board computer will
retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will complete the
charge during the next charge cycle.
• When the charger is unplugged, the warning light will come on and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if
the charge is less than 90% complete but the car has enough power for approximately 30 minutes of
operation. This will alert the operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to com-
pletion as soon as possible.
• The warning light will come on and remain illuminated if the charger times out at 16 hours (see Power-
Drive Charger Owner Manual) and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnor-
mal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will come on during a charge cycle (DC plug is still connected) if AC power to the
charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC power is restored.
