BATTERY CABLES BEFORE WORKING ON VEHICLE FIGURE 12-1 The electrical system on the DS Gasoline is a 12 volt DC negative ground to frame system. The electrical system consists of seven readily-identiﬁable circuits. They are: • Starter Circuit • Generator Circuit •...
Page 139 The starter circuit consists of a twelve-volt battery, fuse, key switch, accelerator starter limit switch, neutral lock-out limit switch, solenoid, starter, and connecting wires. The battery is the source of power for the system. The fuse provides protection to the solenoid activating cir- cuit.
Page 140 FIGURE 12-3 THE GENERATOR CIRCUIT (FIGURE 12-4) The generator circuit consists of the starter/generator, voltage regulator, solenoid, the battery, and connect- ing wires. When battery power is ﬁrst supplied to the starter/generator, the starter/generator turns the engine at low RPM (approx. 700). Once the engine starts running, it then drives the starter/generator. At any engine RPM over 1215 (3000 starter/generator RPM), the starter/generator functions as a generator, supplying charging current to the battery.

BATTERY General Information 1. The battery on the DS gasoline car is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery. When changing a 12-volt bat- tery in any Club Car gasoline-powered vehicle, the same size battery with adequate amperage ratings should be used as a replacement.
Page 183 2. Club Car recommends a group 70, side-post battery (Club Car Part No. 1012328), with a 460 cold- cranking amp rating and a reserve capacity of 85 minutes. The group 70 classiﬁcation indicates battery size (8 1/4 inches W x 6 1/2 inches D x 7 1/4 inches H). It is important to use the proper size to ensure that the battery hold-down will ﬁt correctly and secure the battery in the vehicle’s main frame.

Page 402 Controller Activating Circuit, Continued: With the key switch in the ON position, the forward and reverse rocker switch in forward or reverse, and the accelerator pedal depressed, voltage is supplied to the Z8 position in the controller.

Page 405 DYNAMIC BRAKING SOLENOID CONTROL CIRCUIT (FIGURE 21-13) The Dynamic Braking Control Circuit directs the current that is generated by the motor to either the batteries or the dynamic braking resistor coil (energy displacement module). When the batteries are at or near full charge, the dynamic braking solenoid will shut off when the motor is generating energy, sending the current to the resistor coil.
Page 406 On-Board Computer (OBC) Control Circuit, Continued: • When the batteries can accept a regenerative charge, the OBC sends a signal through the Z 11 (green wire) position to the controller, to switch from dynamic braking to regenerative braking. • When the battery charger DC cord is plugged into the charger receptacle, the OBC will shut off current to the Z12 (yellow wire) transistor in the controller, and this activates the solenoid lock-out feature.
Page 407 • Batteries have discharged to less than 25% of rated capacity. • If AC power is interrupted during the charge cycle, the light will turn on and remain on as long as the DC cord is plugged in. This indicates that the batteries did not receive a full charge. The light will go out when AC power is restored or the DC cord is unplugged.
Page 408: The Power Circuit
FIGURE 21-16 THE POWER CIRCUIT During normal vehicle operation, the function of the power circuit is to supply electrical current from the bat- tery pack to the motor. When motor braking is activated, the power circuit will direct motor generated current to either the batteries or the energy displacement module, depending on the battery pack state of charge (See Figure 21-17).
Page 409 BATTERY BANK ENERGY DISPLACEMENT MODULE MOTOR FIGURE 21-17 ELECTRIC MOTOR The PowerDrive Plus vehicle uses a 48 volt shunt wound motor rather than the series wound motor that is standard in other vehicles.

1. Any corrosion build-up on or around batteries should be removed immediately. Terminal connections should be clean and tight. Any frayed or worn wires should be replaced. After all cables have been con- nected, coat all terminals with Battery Protector Spray (CLUB CAR Part No.1014305) to ward off future corrosion.
Page 458 Battery Care, Continued: Self-Discharge Dirty batteries can provide a path for a small current draw that can slowly discharge batteries, thus wasting valuable energy. To prevent self-discharge, batteries should always be kept clean. Hot weather also has an effect on a battery’s self-discharge rate. The higher the temperature, the quicker a set of batteries will discharge.
Page 459: Battery Charging
BATTERY CHARGING General Information The charger supplied with the CLUB CAR DS Electric Vehicle solves the most common problems in charg- ing. Undercharging and overcharging are prevented provided the charger is allowed to shut off by itself. Also, all cells are automatically given an equalization charge at low current, which prolongs battery life. Batteries should never be left in a discharged state, as this too, affects the internal components and can reduce the capacity of the battery.
