BATTERY REGROUPING

CAUTION
• To prevent degradation of battery performance and life, never mix batteries of different part numbers
or brands/model numbers. Anytime a different model of battery is used, the charging algorithm must
be changed to match it. For vehicles with PowerDrive charger, the vehicles' onboard computer must
be changed to one that is specific to the battery installed. For vehicles with high-frequency charger
(e.g. ERIC or QuiQ), the charger must be reprogrammed with the appropriate algorithm specific to
the battery installed.
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. Install the six remaining good batteries together in one car and install NEW batteries in the other
car. We recommend regrouping batteries in as many cars as possible at a given opportunity to minimize mixing old
and new batteries together in one battery pack. A training video for regrouping is available to view in the Partner
Pavilion under "Tech/Warranty" and then "Training Videos". Contact your regional Tech Support person to assist
you in the regrouping process if needed.
