Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been properly identified. If a charger cannot be properly identified, contact your local Club Car dealer or distributor. The PowerDrive battery charger is automatic and has no external controls (Figure 3-1, Page 3-1). When the charger is connected, there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins.
16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. • The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, during a charge cycle (with the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted.

Do not attempt to service a battery charger that has not been prop- erly identified. If a charger cannot be properly 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 battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals, if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer. THE CHARGE CIRCUIT For vehicles with onboard chargers, the charge circuit consists of the following components: •...
ý WARNING • Only trained technicians should repair or service the charger. Contact your nearest Club Car distributor/dealer. • Each charger should have its own dedicated 15 or 20 ampere separately protected (circuit breaker or fuse) single phase branch circuit, in accordance with all applicable electrical codes for the location.
NOTE: Make sure that the AC cord provided with your charger has the proper AC plug for your location. If it does not, contact your Club Car representative to obtain the proper cord or plug. Connect the power supply cord to an AC supply within the acceptable voltage range. See Section 2 –...
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge between charges until the bat- teries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of discharge or...
