Club Car electric vehicles are supplied with a battery charger. Other Club Car models or vehicles made by other
manufacturers are not compatible.
As long as the charger is allowed to shut off by itself, the batteries will be fully charged. Overcharging and
undercharging will normally be prevented.
Batteries should be put on charge even if they have been used for only a short period (10 minutes). The charger is
automatic and will turn off when batteries are fully charged. If the charger does not seem to be operating properly, or
if the batteries seem weak, contact your local Club Car distributor/dealer.
PLUG AND RECEPTACLE – POWERDRIVE 3 CHARGER VEHICLES
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them for cracks,
loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger plug or receptacle
show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts and plug terminals should
®
be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner or lightly sprayed with WD-40 brand spray lubricant. The plug
should then be inserted and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical
contact. See following NOTE.
NOTE: If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.
