CHARGING BATTERIES
NOTE:
When temperatures fall below 65 °F (18.3 °C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be
placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Batteries are warmest immediately after use, while
cold batteries require more time to fully charge.
Insert charger AC plug into a dedicated AC receptacle that is properly grounded and wired in accordance with
the National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances. Then insert charger DC plug into the vehicle
receptacle. Charger will turn on two to ten seconds later
The PowerDrive and IQ Plus chargers interact with an onboard computer on PowerDrive System 48, IQ Sys-
tem, or IQ Plus vehicles. 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 subsequent damage to the charger and vehicle.
Once the lockout is actuated, the charger turns on. The onboard computer then records the amount of energy
being returned to the batteries. When the optimum amount of energy needed to replenish the batteries is
returned, the charger will turn off. The control circuit lockout remains activated until the charger plug is discon-
nected from the vehicle.
Only PowerDrive System 48 and IQ System vehicles are compatible with a PowerDrive charger. Only IQ Plus
vehicles are compatible with a IQ Plus charger. Other Club Car models or vehicles made by other manufac-
turers are not compatible.
As long as the charger is allowed to turn off by itself, the batteries will be fully charged. Overcharging and
undercharging will normally be prevented.
CAUT ION
• Only IQ Plus chargers should be used with IQ Plus vehicles.
Batteries should be put on charge even if they have been used for only a short time, i.e., 10 minutes. The
charger is automatic and will turn off when batteries are fully charged. If the charger does not seem to be oper-
ating properly, or if the batteries seem weak, contact a local Club Car distributor/dealer.
PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
The charger cord, plug, and receptacle are wear items and should be inspected daily. Visually inspect them
for cracks, loose connections, and frayed wiring; they must be replaced when worn or damaged. If charger
