Charger will not come on

The Club Car PowerDrive charger won't turn on because the battery voltages are too low. The charger requires a minimum voltage level to activate. If the individual battery voltages are 8V or less, they need to be charged up to at least 8.6V using a 12V charger for a short period to allow the onboard computer (OBC) to recognize the charge and enable the cart charger.

POWERDRIVE EXTERNAL CHARGER FEATURES • Charge Interlock PowerDrive battery charger DC plugs have three pins rather than two blades common on most stan- dard charger plugs. Two of these pins are the positive and negative leads as on standard chargers; the third pin is a sensing lead that is the communication link between the charger and the onboard com- puter.
UL AND CSA LISTING When operated on a 120-volt / 60 Hz electrical system, the following PowerDrive battery chargers have been listed by Underwriters Laboratories and by the Canadian Underwriters (thereby meeting the criteria of the Canadian Standards Association).
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 (as approved by the local code) for your location. If it does not, contact your Club Car representative to obtain the proper cord or plug.

(Figure 12). 3. PowerDrive and PowerDrive Plus vehicles: 10 to 20 seconds after the charger activates, it will shut off again to run a self-diagnostic program (the ammeter will drop to 0). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter will return to previous rate of charge).
(ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). NOTE: PowerDrive and PowerDrive Plus vehicles: If the batteries are in a fully charged state and the vehicle has not been driven, the onboard computer will not perform the self-diagnostic test.
It is common practice for technicians to check the condition of a set of batteries after they have been charged to ensure they have received a complete charge before the vehicle is used. With IQ System, PowerDrive, and PowerDrive Plus vehicles, this is not necessary; the onboard computer controls and monitors the charge cycle.
