WARNING
• Do not jump start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.
The battery in the Club Car gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent
watering (Figure 29).
Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking
soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this
solution to enter battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 12 ft-lb (16 N·m).
Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305). See pre-
ceding and following WARNINGS.

WARNING
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as
necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation and could result in
