Vehicle Controller – Electric Vehicles

2005 Turf Vehicle Owner’s Manual

Page 33

VEHICLE CONTROLLER – ELECTRIC VEHICLES

The Club Car electric vehicle is equipped with a solid state speed controller. In order to properly service and
maintain the solid state controller vehicle, it is necessary to understand the electrical circuitry and the func-
tions of all components in the system. Therefore, if any repair or servicing needs to be performed, we recom-
mend that it be performed by an authorized Club Car distributor/dealer using Club Car OEM parts.

BATTERIES – ELECTRIC VEHICLES

See General Warnings on page 4.

ý 

DANGER

• Battery – Explosive gases! Do not smoke. Keep sparks and flames away from the vehicle and

service area. Ventilate when charging or operating vehicle in an enclosed area. Wear a full
face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.

• Charge batteries in a well-ventilated area only. Batteries emit hydrogen while being charged.

Hydrogen is an explosive gas and must never exceed a level of 2% of the air.

• Battery – Poison! Contains acid! Causes severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes, or

clothing. Antidotes:

- External: Flush with water. Call a physician immediately.

- Internal: Drink large quantities of milk or water followed with milk of magnesia or vegetable

oil. Call a physician immediately.

- Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Call a physician immediately.

ý 

WARNING

• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger.

Wear a full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.

• Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme

caution to avoid shorting of components or wiring..

CAUT ION

• On all vehicles, turn off all accessories before charging batteries.

NOTE: 

Recycle or dispose of discarded batteries in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations.

The batteries in PowerDrive System 48 and IQ System electric vehicles are 8 volts each.

The batteries in IQ Plus electric vehicles are 6 volts each.

Both the 6- and 8-volt batteries are deep-cycle batteries, specially built for electric vehicle application. Auto-
motive batteries should never be used.

New batteries will not deliver their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged 20 to 50
times. To obtain maximum service life from new batteries, restrict the use of vehicles with new batteries to one
hour of operation between charges for the first two months vehicle is in service. Batteries should be fully
charged before first use of new vehicle, before first use of a vehicle after storage, and before releasing vehicle
for use each day.
