    NOTE: Recycle or dispose of discarded batteries in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Club Car electric vehicles use deep-cycle batteries. Automotive batteries should never be used in electric vehicles. New batteries will not deliver their full capabilities until they have been discharged and recharged 50 to 70 times. To obtain maximum service life from new batteries, restrict the use of vehicles with new batteries to one hour of operation between charges for the first two months vehicle is in service.

    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.
  • Page 52 When inserting the DC plug, align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot in the receptacle and push straight in slowly. Club Car battery chargers interact with the vehicle’s onboard computer. The computer records the amount of energy consumed during vehicle use. While the charger is plugged in, the vehicle’s control circuit is locked out, preventing operation of the vehicle as well as the possibility of consequent damage to the charger and the vehicle.
  • Page 53 Figure 25 Correct Insertion of Charger DC Plug Figure 26 Incorrect Insertion of Charger DC Plug Club Car electric vehicles are supplied with a battery charger. Other Club Car models or vehicles made by other manufacturers are not compatible. As long as the charger is allowed to shut off by itself, the batteries will be fully charged. Overcharging and undercharging will normally be prevented.

  • Page 59 Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge between charges until the batteries have been properly seasoned (50 to 70 charge cycles). For maximum battery life, Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 amp hours of discharge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries.
