    WATER QUALITY Water purity is the most important factor in the performance and life span of the vehicle batteries. Club Car is, therefore, placing increased importance on battery water quality. Outlined below are four battery watering procedures, grouped into two categories: Preferred and Alternate methods.
  • Page 50 In addition, the usage frequency of the membrane can also contribute to the filtered water quality. Due to the variance in water quality consistency, Club Car recommends the use of the deionizer or distilled water.

  • Page 51: Deionizer

    Replace filter immediately if the red light comes ON indicating service is required. The following replacement filter is available from Club Car Service Parts: — Use filter P/N 104005901 for Deionizer Systems P/N’s 105166801, 104006001, and AM10974.
