SECTION 23 B - POWERDRIVE
BATTERY CHARGER
GENERAL INFORMATION
The PowerDrive Battery Charger is an integral part of Club Car’s PowerDrive System 48, and one is included
with every PowerDrive vehicle. Because it is controlled by the PowerDrive System 48 vehicle’s on-board
computer, it will work with only PowerDrive System 48 vehicles. The charger is totally automatic and has no
external controls; when it is plugged in there is a 2 to 15 second delay, and then it comes on (Figure 23-19).
The vehicle on-board computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used,
directs the charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The
charger then shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The
computer accomplishes this by sensing when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to
the batteries, rather than sensing voltage, rate or change of voltage, gassing point, or any other measure-
ment parameter.
POWERDRIVE SYSTEM 48 CHARGING FEATURES INCLUDE:
• Charge Interlock
PowerDrive Battery Charger DC plugs have three pins rather than the two blades that most standard
charger plugs have. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; the
third pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the on-board com-
puter. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the on-board computer senses its
presence and locks out the vehicle’s drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle
while the charger is plugged in and potential damage to the vehicle and charger.
• SHORTLY AFTER CHARGING BEGINS, THE CHARGER WILL SHUT OFF AGAIN IN ORDER TO
RUN A SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROGRAM (AMMETER WILL DROP TO ZERO). CHARGING WILL
RESUME IN A FEW MOMENTS (AMMETER RETURNS TO CURRENT STATE OF CHARGE).
THIS WILL BE REPEATED AT ONE HOUR AND AT TWO HOURS INTO THE CHARGE.
