BATTERIES

BATTERY STORAGE

See General Warning, Section 10, Page 10-1.
When storing batteries during the off-season or when maintaining a replacement stock, follow these guide-
lines:
1. Keep the batteries clean and free of corrosion. See Battery Care on page 14-4.
2. Batteries that are in vehicles for winter storage should be left disconnected in the vehicles if the batteries
are not going to be connected to a charger.
3. Fully charge the batteries prior to storage.
4. Store in a cool area. The colder the area in which the batteries are stored, the less the batteries will self-
discharge. Batteries stored at 0 °F (–17.8 °C) will discharge very little over a four-month period. Batteries
stored at 80 °F (26.7 °C) will have to be recharged every few weeks.
5. 48-volt Club Car electric vehicles and compatible battery chargers are designed to be left connected,
with AC power to the charger ON, during off-season storage. The storage charge feature will automati-
cally charge the batteries as needed throughout the storage period. See STORAGE - ELECTRIC VEHI-
CLE, Section 3 of the appropriate maintenance and service manual.
