12 2000 Carryall Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual
• The warning light will not come on if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard 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 illuminate and remain illuminated for 10 seconds if the charge
is less than 90% complete but the vehicle 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 completion as soon as possible.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals if the charger times out at 16
hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged (see PowerDrive Charger Owner’s Manual). This indicates
an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• The warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, with 4 second intervals 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.
LED Light: In addition to the warning light, there is an infrared LED in the dash light assembly which trans-
mits an infrared signal from the OBC. This signal is received by the optional Communication Display Module
which provides information on the condition of the vehicle and batteries.
