Charger Operation ELECTRIC VEHICLE - BATTERY CHARGER
Because the charger has a storage charge feature that automatically checks and recharges the batteries as
necessary, the charger can remain plugged to the vehicle throughout the storage period.
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge between charges until the batteries have
been properly seasoned (50 to 70 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that
electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge or each night in order to avoid
deeply discharging the batteries. To detect amp-hour discharge, use the CDT diagnostic tool.
Battery Charging Procedure
1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, insert the charger AC plug into a
dedicated and properly wired AC outlet. Connect a maximum of two chargers per dedicated circuit.
2. Insert the charger DC cord plug into the vehicle receptacle to begin a charge cycle. When inserting the plug,
align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot in the receptacle and push straight in slowly (Figure
15-6, Page 15-10) .
3. The charger will turn on two to five seconds later, after the charger interlock function activates. The charger
interlock remains activated and prevents operation of the vehicle until the DC cord is disconnected from the
vehicle.
See following NOTE.
NOTE: The dash-mounted charge indicator light will flash three times and the reverse buzzer simultaneously will
sound three times to indicate charging has begun. The number of flashes and beeps can vary depending on
the Beep Option setting.
See Beep Option, Section 11, Page 11-8.
4. The charger monitors battery voltage, charge current and charge time to determine when the batteries are
properly charged. The charger will shut off by itself and the entire battery-shaped green light will stop flashing and
remain on. 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.
5. If the charger does not seem to be operating properly, or if the batteries seem weak, see Charger Troubleshooting
on page 15-12. If troubleshooting does not solve the issue, contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer.
