Once the lockout is actuated, the charger turns on. The onboard computer then records the amount of energy
being returned to the batteries. When the optimum amount of energy needed to replenish the batteries is
returned, the charger will shut off. The control circuit lockout remains activated until the charger plug is dis-
connected from the vehicle.
Electric vehicles are supplied with a PowerDrive or PowerDrive 3 battery charger. Use only the PowerDrive
family of chargers with this electric vehicle.
As long as the charger is allowed to shut off by itself, the batteries will be fully charged. Overcharging and
undercharging will normally be prevented.
Batteries should be put on charge even if they have been used for only a short period (10 minutes). The
charger is automatic and will turn off when batteries are fully charged. If the charger does not seem to be oper-
ating properly, or if the batteries seem weak, contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer.
PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them
for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger
plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts
and plug terminals should be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner or lightly sprayed with WD-40
®
brand spray lubricant. The plug should then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of inser-
tion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.
