Battery Charger, QuiQ™ – Electric Vehicles
WARNING
• Wear safety glasses or approved eye protection when servicing the vehicle or battery charger. Wear a
full face shield and rubber gloves when working on or near batteries.
• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry such as rings, watches, chains, etc., when servicing the
vehicle or battery charger.
• Use insulated tools when working near batteries or electrical connections. Use extreme caution to
avoid shorting of components or wiring.
• Do not cover the charger cooling fins. Do not allow clothing, blankets, or other material to cover the
charger. The fins dissipate heat and protect the charger from overheating.
• Cooling fins will become hot during charging. Do not touch. Use the handle.
CAUTION
• The battery charger provided with this vehicle is approved for use only with the battery type
originally shipped with the vehicle. Using a different battery type (different brand, different capacity,
etc.) can cause under or overcharging and subsequent battery damage unless the charger is first
reprogrammed with a new charging algorithm. Club Car only recommends OEM replacement batteries.
Contact your authorized Club Car dealer/distributor with any questions about battery and charger
compatibility or algorithm updates.
GENERAL CHARGER INFORMATION – QUIQ BATTERY CHARGERS
The QuiQ high-frequency battery charger functions as an integral part of the vehicle electrical system and will not work
with other electric vehicle models. The charger is pre-programmed with a specific charge algorithm that is appropriate
to the specific battery type used in the vehicle. When the charger is connected, LED lights on the charger perform a
start-up self-test (LEDs light up in sequence). See Charger Displays on page 56.
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.
Features
• Charge Interlock
When the AC power cord is inserted into a wall receptacle, the charger locks out the vehicle drive system. This
prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and potentially damaging the vehicle
and charger.
• Long-Term Storage Charge
Club Car chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger during off-season or long-term
storage. See Preparing the Electric Vehicle for Extended Storage on page 33.
