3.2 GENERAL INFORMATION
This Garia Golf Car is equipped with six 8 Volt lead acid batteries which provides the
power for its operation. To ensure the best operation, always make sure that the
vehicle is maintained according to specified maintenance intervals. The batteries used
in this vehicle are Trojan® T-875 Wet Lead Acid Cell Batteries. The batteries are made
of 65% water and 35% acid with an electrolyte plate inside the battery.
3.3 CHARGING OF BATTERIES
Always follow the safety precautions mentioned below to avoid personal injury or
property damage when maintaining or storing batteries:
• Always follow procedures that are in accordance with applicable laws and regula-
tions when charging and using charging facilities.
• Periodically inspect the facilities and the procedures used when charging and
storing batteries to ensure that the correct safety conditions are in place.
• The vehicle shall only be charged using a vehicle-specific Garia charging cable. The
cable is according to the provisions of UL standards 2202.
Only charge batteries with the integrated Delta-Q on-board charger. This charger
is equipped with algorythms that allow the most optimal charging session at any
state of charge. It is carefully designed for the vehicle’s batteries. Do not attempt
to charge batteries in other ways than by using the integrated on-board charger. By
using other chargers, the risk of over- and undercharging occurs, which can shorten
the capacity of the batteries and potentially destroy them. The integrated on-board
charger is programmed to maximize battery performance.
The optimal charging time depends on a range of different factors. It is expected that
the battery can charge from a 30% state to a fully charged state in approximately 7
hours. This is, however, dependent on the weather conditions, the state of charge and
the general condition of the batteries.
When charging batteries, please be aware of the following:
• Batteries should be fully charged after each use.
• Lead-acid batteries do not have a memory effect and therefore do not need to
be fully discharged before recharging.
• Charge only in well-ventilated areas
• The batteries will gas (bubble) towards the end of charge to ensure the electro-
lyte is properly mixed.
• Never charge a frozen battery
• Avoid charging at temperatures above 120°F (49°C)
