BATTERY CHARGER: FOR ERIC CHARGING
SYSTEM
Batteries should never be left in a discharged state, as this too affects the internal components and can reduce the
capacity of the battery. The batteries should be charged every day they are used. However, the batteries should
not be charged if they have not been used.

USB SERVICE PORT

The ERIC charger has a USB port for use by Club Car authorized technicians for data transfer, reconfiguration,
and updates. Keep the USB port cover in place when the port is not in use. See USB Service Port Cleaning
and Care on page 15-13.

UL AND CSA LISTING

High-frequency charging system battery chargers have been listed by UL and by the Canadian Underwriters and
meet the criteria of the Canadian Standards Association.

CE COMPLIANCE

This battery charger is compliant with the EU EMC Directive 2004/108/EC.

PLUG AND RECEPTACLE

The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect for cracks,
loose connections, frayed wiring or bent pins; they must be immediately replaced when worn or damaged. Do not
attempt to straighten a bent pin. If charger plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert
or remove, check for bent pins, then clean the receptacle contacts and plug terminals with a good electrical contact
cleaner or light coating of WD-40
to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact.
DANGER
• To prevent fire, immediately replace battery charger DC cord plug and receptacle if the following
conditions exist:
– Plug pins have worn nickel plating and copper is exposed.
– Plug requires an inordinate amount of force to insert into receptacle, especially if accompanied
by a "grinding" feel.
WARNING
• If pins are bent, the plug must be replaced immediately. The plug is not serviceable. Do not attempt to
repair the plug or straighten bent pins.
• Disconnect the AC cord prior to lubricating the plug and receptacle.
NOTE: If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.

CHARGER POWER CONNECTION FUSE

The charger receptacle harness has an in-line, 30-amp fuse located near the solenoid.

CHARGER INTERLOCK

External Charger: While the charger DC cord is plugged into the vehicle, the vehicle control circuit is locked out,
preventing operation of the vehicle, as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
