Interpreting Discharge Test Results
1.
If discharge time is 60 minutes** or higher, the batteries are performing properly.
2.
If discharge time is less than 60 minutes**, replace batteries below 6.7 volts.
** Refer to the Discharge Time to Shut-Off Point reference table for temperature-corrected discharge times.
BATTERY REGROUPING
Regrouping
is now Club Car’s standard battery replacement method.
Regrouping
is the practice of placing batteries of
similar condition together in one vehicle. For example, if there was an issue with the batteries in two cars and the
battery test indicated three failed batteries in each car, after removing the failed batteries, there will be six good
batteries remaining. Install the six remaining good batteries together in one car and install NEW batteries in the other
car. We recommend regrouping batteries in as many cars as possible at a given opportunity to minimize mixing old
and new batteries together in one battery pack. A training video for regrouping is available to view in the Partner
Pavilion under “Tech/Warranty” and then “Training Videos”. Contact your regional Tech Support person to assist
you in the regrouping process if needed.
