WARNING
• Do not jump start a dead battery using another battery and jumper cables.
The battery in the Club Car gasoline vehicle is a 12-volt, low maintenance battery that requires infrequent
watering
(Figure 24)
.
Any corrosion around the positive (+) or negative (–) terminals should be washed off with a solution of baking
soda and water (1 cup (237 mL) per gallon (3.8 L) of water). Rinse solution off the battery. Do not allow this
solution to enter battery. Be sure terminals are tight (battery terminals should be tightened to 12 ft-lb (16
N·m)). Let the terminals dry and then spray them with Battery Terminal Protector Spray (CCI P/N 1014305).
See preceding WARNING and following CAUTION.

CAUT ION
• If battery wire terminals are damaged or corroded, they should be replaced or cleaned as
necessary. Failure to do so may cause them to overheat during operation.
Be sure battery clamp is properly tightened. Tighten to 12 ft-Ib (16 N·m). A loose battery clamp may allow the
battery to become damaged from vibration or jarring.
If battery appears weak, have it charged by a trained technician. The battery should never be left discharged
any longer than absolutely necessary (do not leave discharged overnight).
