2000 Carryall Electric Vehicle Owner’s Manual 23
The batteries in PowerDrive System 48 electric vehicles are 8-volt, deep cycle batteries, specially built for
electric vehicle application. Automotive 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.
BATTERY CARE
To keep batteries in good working condition, follow this maintenance program on a regular basis:
1. Batteries should be kept clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup baking soda per gallon of water) once per week. Rinse solution off batteries.
Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Protector Spray (Club
Car Part No. 1014305).
2. The electrolyte level in the batteries should be checked weekly. See Figure 13, Page 23 for proper
level. Add water only after charging unless the electrolyte level is below the top of the plates. In this
case, add just enough water to cover the plates, charge and then check the level again. Never charge
batteries if plates are exposed above electrolyte level. For best battery life, use only distilled water.
• WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR APPROVED EYE PROTECTION WHEN SERVICING THE VEHICLE.
• USE INSULATE TOOLS WHEN WORKING AROUND BATTERIES OR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
• ON ALL VEHICLES, TURN OFF ALL ACCESSORIES BEFORE CHARGING BATTERIES.
• RECYCLE OR DISPOSE OF DISCARDED BATTERIES IN ACCORDANCE WITH LOCAL, STATE,
AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS.
• DO NOT ALLOW THIS SOLUTION TO ENTER THE BATTERY.
• DISPOSE OF WASTE WATER PROPERLY.
