Regrouping is now Club Car’s standard battery replacement method. Regrouping is the practice of placing batteries of similar condition together in one vehicle. For example, if there was an issue with the batteries in two cars and the battery test indicated three failed batteries in each car, after removing the failed batteries, there will be six good batteries remaining.

BATTERIES Battery Replacement BATTERY REPLACEMENT See General Warnings on page 1-2. WARNING • Wear steel-toe shoes when replacing batteries. • To prevent electrolyte leakage from the battery vents, batteries must be kept in an upright position. Tipping a battery beyond a 45° angle in any direction can allow a small amount of electrolyte to leak out the vent hole.
See General Warnings on page 1-2. WATER QUALITY Water purity is the most important factor in the performance and life span of the vehicle batteries. Club Car is, therefore, placing increased importance on battery water quality. Outlined below are four battery watering procedures, grouped into two categories: Preferred and Alternate methods.
Replace filter immediately if the red light comes ON indicating service is required. Replacement filters are available from Club Car Service Parts. • Inspect the condition of all tubing, connections, and couplers. Make sure that all parts are in good working condition, secure, leak free, and properly connected.
Battery Care BATTERIES Single point watering systems will require seasonal maintenance if vehicles are taken out of service or put into storage for a period of 6 weeks or longer. To prepare the SPWS, ensure the feed tube and coupler are on top of battery. Then, use the following steps to bring vehicle back into service: After the batteries have been fully charged/equalized, connect the system to its water supply for 3 to 5 seconds, then disconnect regardless of whether or not the batteries are completely full.
• Do not overfill the batteries. NOTE: A battery watering gun or bottle is available from your authorized Club Car dealer. The battery hold-downs should be tight enough so that the batteries do not move while the vehicle is in motion, but not so tight as to crack or buckle the battery case.
Battery Care BATTERIES 1. Level Indicator 2. Cap 3. Plates Maintain electrolyte level from at least 1/2 inch (13 mm) above plates to 1/4 inch (6 mm) below level indicator. Figure 14-3 Electric Battery Electrolyte Level SELF-DISCHARGE Contaminants on dirty batteries can provide a path for a small current draw that can slowly discharge batteries, thus wasting valuable energy.
A deionizer for vehicles with SPWS, Club Car Part Number 105166801 is available from Service Parts (DC powered water quality indicator light). Replacement cartridge: 104005901. Bottled distilled water, with hand pump, Club Car Part Number 104006101, is recommended for private consumer applications.
Page 224
Single Point Watering System (SPWS) BATTERIES • Do not use a longer garden hose than provided with the System (20 feet or 6 meters), as a decrease in water pressure can overfill the batteries and damage the refill system. Before screwing the hose-end assembly (3) onto the opposite end of the water hose, check the screen filter (4) inside the end of the assembly to make sure it is clean (Figure 14-4).
BATTERIES Battery Storage 2829 2830 Figure 14-6 Dust Cap Figure 14-7 Connecting Hose-end Assembly to Battery Fill Connector The red flow indicator balls should swirl, indicating that the batteries are being filled. See following CAUTION. CAUTION • If at any time water overflows from the batteries, immediately stop the refill process, disconnect the pressure regulator from the battery fill coupling, and call for service.
Deep-Discharge BATTERIES DEEP-DISCHARGE Never discharge batteries to the point the vehicle will no longer operate. This will considerably shorten the cycle life of the batteries, and may permanently damage the batteries. It is possible the batteries will not accept a charge if they are completely discharged.
If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local authorized Club Car dealer or distributor. The High Frequency Battery Charger functions as an integral part of the vehicles' electrical system and will not work with other electric vehicles.
General Information BATTERY CHARGER HOW TO IDENTIFY CHARGE ALGORITHM NUMBER The algorithm numbers offered can be found in See Battery Charger Algorithms on page 15-2. The charger can display its algorithm number by initiating Algorithm Display Mode. To enter Algorithm Display Mode, do the following: Disconnect the AC cord from the power outlet.
BATTERY CHARGER General Information HOW TO CHANGE THE ALGORITHM Set the Run/Tow switch to TOW. If equipped, disconnect the DC/DC converter connector. Disconnect the AC cord. Disconnect the main positive (+) battery wire. Wait for 1 to 1.5 minutes. Connect the AC cord. While the battery charger lights flash, touch the main positive (+) battery wire to the battery post.
– Do not attempt to charge frozen batteries or batteries with bulged cases. Discard the battery in accordance with all environmental laws or return to an authorized Club Car dealer. Frozen batteries can explode.

Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 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 deep discharging the batteries.
Any charger not functioning correctly should be removed from use until it is properly repaired. This will prevent further damage to the vehicle and avoid the possibility of injury due to unsafe conditions. Contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer to perform all repairs and semiannual and annual periodic service WARNING •...

TRANSAXLE Transaxle Disassembly, Inspection, and Assembly Disassemble the differential gear case: 8.1. Remove the hex bolts (33) and the ring gear (32) from the differential case (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3). 8.2. Remove the ring gear. 8.3. Separate the differential gear case housing. If necessary, install two of the hex bolts (removed previously in step 8.1) into the differential gear unit and, while holding the unit slightly above the work area, lightly tap the bolt heads (Figure 17-14, Page 17-9).
Transaxle Disassembly, Inspection, and Assembly TRANSAXLE NOTE: Damaged or worn gears should be replaced as sets. TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY CAUTION • Do not press against the bearing outer race. • The housing and all parts must be wiped clean and dry before reassembly. If bearings (13) were removed during disassembly, install new bearings using an arbor press (Figure 17-5, Page 17-3).
TRANSAXLE Transaxle Installation WARNING • Be sure retaining ring is properly seated in its groove. If ring is not properly installed, the axle assembly will separate from the transaxle and damage the axle assembly and other components.
