GENERAL INFORMATION

This section includes information pertaining to service of the onboard IQ Plus battery charger (model numbers
25260-11 and 25260-50) as installed in IQ Plus vehicles. For battery charger models other than those listed
above, refer to the appropriate section in the appropriate battery charger maintenance and service manual.
Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be prop-
erly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor.
For battery chargers with model numbers listed above that are installed in vehicles other than IQ Plus vehi-
cles, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor.
The IQ Plus battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 9-1, Page 9-1). When the
charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins. See following NOTE.
NOTE: At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, the charger will shut off in order to run a self-
diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter
returns to previous rate of charge).
The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the
charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then
shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer
accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batter-
ies.
