Returning The Stored Electric Vehicle To Service - Club Car Precedent 2004 Maintenance And Service

GENERAL INFORMATION
2. Batteries should be clean and free of corrosion. Wash tops and terminals of batteries with a solution of
baking soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) baking soda per 1 gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off bat-
teries. Do not allow this solution to enter the batteries. Be sure terminals are tight. Let the terminals dry
and then coat them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
3. Store vehicle in a cool, dry place. This will minimize battery self-discharge.
4. Adjust tires to recommended tire pressure. See Section 2 – Vehicle Specifications.

the charger when necessary. If the battery charger is left plugged in during extended storage, the elec-
trolyte should be checked monthly to ensure that proper level is maintained. AC power should also be
checked periodically.
• If charger cannot remain plugged in, or AC power will not be available during extended storage, discon-
nect the batteries for storage. See WARNING "To avoid unintentionally starting..." in General Warnings,
Section 1, Page 1-1 .
