BATTERY CONDITION INDICATOR
The battery condition indicator is located on the dash panel to the left of the steering column (Figure 9) . It fea-
tures a 10-bar LED display that, when the vehicle is in operation, displays the level of battery capacity, mea-
suring battery voltage over a period of time.
When batteries are fully charged, all indicator lights will be on. When battery voltage drops below 75% of full
discharge, the last two indicator lights will flash alternately. Continued use of vehicle after indicator lights
begin flashing without recharging the batteries could result in decreased vehicle performance.
NOTE: If battery condition indicator moves rapidly (within approximately 45 minutes) from full charge to
empty, there may be a problem with the wiring or with a battery cell. If indicator display does not
reset back to full after recharging, there may be a problem with the battery charger or with one of the
batteries. In either case the vehicle should be checked by a Club Car dealer or a trained technician.
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
The dash-mounted battery warning light, located above the steering column, indicates low battery voltage
when the vehicle is in operation or indicates a charging problem when the vehicle is being charged
(Figure 9) .
The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard computer.
When the vehicle is in operation, the battery warning light will illuminate and remain illuminated if:
• Batteries’ voltage drops below 48 volts 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 battery warning light illuminates 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 battery warning light illuminates and the vehicle is unable to operate for 30 minutes, have your Club Car
dealer/distributor 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 battery warning light will indicate as follows:
• The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard com-
puter will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to fully replenish the batteries and will com-
plete the charge during the next charge cycle.
