GENERAL INFORMATION
PowerDrive battery chargers are available in several different configurations for use domestically (United
States) and internationally (Figures 1 through 7). Some PowerDrive chargers are equipped with a multi-posi-
tion switch (located on the rear panel) for AC input voltage selection (Figure 8).
The PowerDrive battery charger is automatic and has no external controls. When the charger is connected,
there is a 2 to 15 second delay before charging begins.
NOTE: PowerDrive and PowerDrive Plus Vehicles: Shortly after charging begins, the charger will shut
off in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a
few moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge). This will be repeated at one hour and
at two hours into the charge cycle.

General Information
PowerDrive Battery Charger Owner’s Manual Page 7
IQ System Vehicles: At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, the charger will shut off
in order to run a self-diagnostic program (ammeter will drop to zero). Charging will resume in a few
moments (ammeter returns to previous rate of charge).
The onboard computer, having recorded the amount of energy consumed as the vehicle was used, directs the
charger to replace exactly the amount of energy needed to fully replenish the batteries. The charger then
shuts off automatically, preventing the possibility of either undercharging or overcharging. The computer
accomplishes this by detecting when the exact amount of energy necessary has been returned to the batter-
ies.

POWERDRIVE EXTERNAL CHARGER FEATURES
•ChargeInterlock
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. When the charger plug is plugged into the vehicle receptacle, the onboard computer locks out
the vehicle drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged
in and potentially damaging the vehicle and charger.
• Long-Term Storage Charge
IQ System, PowerDrive, and PowerDrive Plus vehicles with PowerDrive chargers are designed to be left
connected with AC power to the charger, during off-season or long-term storage. The onboard computer
will automatically activate the charger every 15 days. To return the vehicle to service, unplug the
charger DC cord, wait 15 seconds for the computer to reset, and plug the charger back in. See follow-
ing WARNING. This will ensure the batteries are at their optimum charge prior to returning the vehicle to
service.
ý WARNING
• The charger plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle. Jerking or pulling the DC cord
out quickly could cause arcing and burning that could damage the plug and receptacle and
could cause batteries to explode.
CAUTION
• Be sure to check the batteries and charger monthly to maintain correct battery water level and
ensure the charger is operating correctly during storage.
POWERDRIVE ONBOARD CHARGER FEATURES
•ChargeInterlock
When the AC power cord is inserted into a wall receptacle, the onboard computer locks out the vehicle
drive system. This prevents the possibility of driving the vehicle while the charger is plugged in and
potentially damaging the vehicle and charger.

• Long-Term Storage Charge
PowerDrive chargers are designed to be left connected with AC power to the charger, during off-sea-
son or long-term storage. The onboard computer will automatically activate the charger every 15 days.
To return the vehicle to service, disconnect the AC cord from the wall outlet, wait 15 seconds and then
plug the AC cord back in. The charger will activate. Allow the vehicle to complete one full charge cycle
before putting it into service.
BATTERY WARNING LIGHT
IQ System, PowerDrive, and PowerDrive Plus vehicles feature a dash mounted battery warning light (above
the steering column) that, when the vehicle is in operation, indicates low battery voltage or, when the vehicle
is being charged, indicates a charging problem. The battery warning light is controlled by the onboard com-
puter. See following NOTE.
NOTE: Beginning with the 1998 model year, the onboard computer LED became part of the battery warn-
ing light rather than being mounted in the computer itself, and the warning light lens color changed
from red to amber. This simplifies using a Communication Display Module (CCP/N 101831801) to
obtain data from the onboard computer.
When the batteries receive an incomplete charge because 1) the DC power cord is disconnected, 2) AC
power to charger is interrupted, 3) automatic charger shut-off occurs after 16 hours of operation, or 4) charger
malfunctions, the warning light will indicate as follows:
•The battery warning light will not illuminate if the charge is 90% or more complete. The onboard com-
puter will retain in memory the amount of charge needed to replenish the batteries and will complete
the charge during the next charge cycle.
•When the charger DC cord is unplugged during a charge cycle, the battery warning light will illuminate
and remain illuminated for 10 seconds (25 seconds for Precedent vehicles) if the charge is less than
90% complete but the vehicle has enough power for 60 minutes of operation. This will alert the fleet
operator that the vehicle may be used, but that it must be charged to completion as soon as possible.
•The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 second intervals (25 seconds,
at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), if the charger times out at 16 hours and the batteries are
not sufficiently charged. This indicates an abnormal charge cycle. The charger and batteries should be
checked by your Club Car distributor/dealer.
• External chargers only: The battery warning light will repeatedly illuminate for 10 seconds, at 4 sec-
ond intervals (25 seconds, at 10 second intervals for Precedent vehicles), during a charge cycle (with
the DC plug still connected) if AC power to the charger is interrupted. The light will go out when AC
power is restored.

EXTERNAL CHARGER INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
ý DANGER
• The charging area must be ventilated. Hydrogen level in the air must never exceed 2%. The
total volume of air in the charging area must be changed five times per hour. Exhaust fans
should be located at the highest point of the roof. Contact a local HVAC engineer.
• Do not charge the vehicle batteries with the vehicle covered or enclosed. Any enclosure or
cover should be removed or unzipped and pulled back when batteries are being charged. An
accumulation of hydrogen gas could result in an explosion.
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.
• Connect the charger AC supply cord to a properly grounded, three-wire outlet of the proper
voltage and frequency as shown on the charger.
• Do not use an adapter to plug the charger with a three-prong plug into a two-prong outlet.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a fire or an
electrical shock.
• An extension cord or electrical outlet must accept a three-prong plug. Extension cord should
be a three-wire no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14 (British Standard Wire), and be
as short as possible (no more than 12 feet (3.7 m). The use of improper extension cord could
result in fire or an electrical shock.
• Do not use near fuels, grain dust, solvents, thinners, or other flammables. Chargers can ignite
flammable materials and vapors.
• Do not expose to rain or any liquid. Keep the charger dry.
• Prior to servicing the charger, disconnect the AC power supply cord from the wall outlet and
the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle.
• When the charger is on, the charger DC cord may be disconnected from the vehicle receptacle
slowly. Jerking or pulling the DC cord out quickly could cause arcing and burning that could
damage the plug and receptacle and could cause batteries to explode.
• Never push objects of any kind into the charger through cabinet slots. They may touch
dangerous voltage points or cause an electrical short circuit that could result in fire or electrical
shock.
• Do not connect the charger to battery packs that are not compatible with the DC output
voltage specified on the charger. Overheating and transformer burnout will result.
• Do not connect a stationary charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle
receptacle is broken, damaged, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or
personal injury can result. Have a qualified technician replace the parts.
• Do not use a battery charger if the cord, plug, or receptacle is damaged in any way. Replace
worn or damaged parts immediately. Failure to heed this warning could result in a fire,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

affixed to the top of the charger. If these instructions are not found on the charger, contact your
Club Car representative.
EXTERNAL CHARGER AC POWER CONNECTION
For models 20310-11, 20310-18, 27640-11, and 27640-18, at a minimum, a 14/3 SJT cord with IEC 60320/
C13 connector is reccommended for use.
The AC line to which the charger is to be connected must be of the proper AC input voltage for the charger
and must be capable of supplying sufficient current. See Battery Charger Specifications on page 19. If the
battery charger is equipped with a multi-position switch for variable AC input voltage, the switch must be set
for the correct voltage before the AC cord is connected (Figure 8). See following CAUTION.
ý CAUTION
• Failure to set the AC input voltage selector switch to the correct voltage could result in
damage to the battery charger or batteries.
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.
With charger DC output cord disconnected, connect the power supply cord to an AC supply. See Battery
Charger Specifications on page 19.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, the battery charger must be grounded. The charger is equipped with an
AC electric cord with an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding type plug. The AC plug must be
connected to an appropriate receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with the
National Electric Code and all local codes and ordinances.
The use of an extension cord with the charger should be avoided. If an extension cord must be used, use a
three-conductor no. 12 AWG (American Wire Gauge) or no. 14 SWG (British Standard Wire Gauge), heavy-
duty cord with ground, properly wired and in good electrical condition. Keep it as short as possible (no more
than 12 feet (3.7 m)). Place all cords so they will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subject to dam-
age or stress.
Ensure that the charger ventilation slots are unobstructed and that there is adequate ventilation.

• Do not connect a charger to the receptacle if the charger cord, plug, or the vehicle receptacle
is broken, damaged in any manner, or does not make a good electrical connection. Fire or
personal injury can result. Have it replaced by a qualified service person immediately. Failure
to follow these instructions could result in damage to the charger cord, the plug, and (or) the
vehicle receptacle.
• Do not use a charger if any of the following conditions exist:
- The plug is too loose or does not make a good connection.
- The plug and receptacle feel hotter than normal during charge.
- The plug pin or receptacle contacts are bent or corroded.
- The plug, receptacle, or cords are cut, worn, have any exposed wires or are damaged in any
way.
• Using the charger with any of the above symptoms could result in a fire, property damage,
personal injury, or death.
1. With the charger DC cord disconnected from the vehicle charger receptacle, connect the AC power sup-
ply cord to an AC outlet designed to provide the proper AC voltage for the charger.
2. Connect the charger DC plug to the vehicle charger receptacle located on the seat support panel
(Figure 12). The charger will activate automatically within 2 to 15 seconds after the DC plug is con-
nected. See following WARNING.
ý WARNING
• Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the
plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (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).
4. Monitor the ammeter for the correct charge rate. The initial charge rate will vary from 15 to 19 amps,
depending upon the condition and depth of discharge of the batteries. Slight variations in the initial
charge rate may also result from AC line input voltages which are higher or lower than the nominal input
voltage. Higher AC line voltages increase the initial charge rate while lower AC line voltages reduce the
initial charge rate.
5. PowerDrive and PowerDrive Plus vehicles: Monitor the ammeter for about 30 seconds. Under normal
operating conditions (when the charger is on and the batteries are discharged), the ammeter will drop to
zero for 2 to 3 seconds at the beginning of each charge cycle in order to perform a self-diagnostic test.
This test will be repeated at one hour and two hours into the charge cycle. See following NOTE.

External Charger Installation and Operation
Page 14 PowerDrive Battery Charger Owner’s Manual
6. IQ System vehicles: At one hour and at two hours into the charge cycle, the charger will shut off in order
to run a self-diagnostic program (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.
All vehicles: Batteries should be put on charge at the end of each day even if the vehicle has been
used for only a short amount of time (even if for only 10 minutes).
When air temperatures fall below 65 °F (18.3 °C), batteries charged in unheated areas should be
placed on charge as soon as possible after use. Cold batteries require more time to fully charge.
New batteries will not deliver their full range until the vehicle has been driven and recharged from
20 to 50 times.
Vehicles should be restricted to 40 to 50 energy units of discharge (or 36 holes of golf) between charges
until the batteries have been properly seasoned (20 to 50 charge cycles). For maximum battery life,
Club Car recommends that electric vehicles always be recharged after 40 to 50 energy units of dis-
charge or each night in order to avoid deep discharging the batteries. Charging between rounds will also
extend battery life; use the CDM (Communication Display Module) (CCP/N 101831801). See Commu-
nication Display Module in the appropriate maintenance and service supplement.
EXTERNAL CHARGER PLUG AND RECEPTACLE
When inserting the DC plug into the vehicle receptacle, align the raised guide on the plug with the guide slot
in the receptacle and slowly push the plug straight in (Figure 12). To disconnect the plug from the vehicle,
firmly grasp the plug, not the cord (Figure 13), and slowly pull plug straight out. See following WARNING
and CAUTION.
ý WARNING
• Do not rock or bend the plug. To connect the charger plug to the vehicle receptacle, grasp the
plug handle and push the plug straight into the receptacle (Figure 12).
• The battery charger DC plug must be pulled slowly from the receptacle. Jerking or pulling the
DC cord out quickly could cause arcing that could damage the plug and receptacle and could
cause batteries to explode.

ý CAUTION
• Do not connect an external charger to the receptacle of a vehicle equipped with an onboard
charger while the onboard charger is activated. Charging overload will damage the onboard
computer and may cause battery damage.
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
plug or receptacle show signs of corrosion or the plug is difficult to insert or remove, the receptacle contacts
and plug terminals should be cleaned with a good electrical contact cleaner. The plug should then be inserted
and removed several times to ensure ease of insertion, ease of removal, and good electrical contact. See fol-
lowing NOTE.
NOTE: If the warning tag has been damaged or removed from the DC cord, have it replaced immediately.
CHECKING BATTERY CONDITION WITH AN EXTERNAL CHARGER
Read DANGER, WARNING, and CAUTIONS beginning on page 11.
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. If any problem occurs during a charge cycle, the battery warning light, located above the steering col-
umn in the center dash panel, will illuminate intermittently.
If the battery warning light is illuminated after a charge cycle, refer to the troubleshooting chart in the mainte-
nance and service manual appropriate for your battery charger. If you do not have this publication, contact
your Club Car representative. If the specified test procedures identify no problems, plug the DC cord into the
vehicle and let it charge until the charger shuts off automatically. If a problem is found, correct it and then
charge the vehicle. Normal voltage near the end of a charge cycle should be approximately 59 to 63 volts DC.
START CHARGE CYCLE
1. Disconnect the DC plug from the vehicle charger receptacle.
2. Wait 20 seconds, then reconnect the DC cord to the vehicle receptacle. See following NOTE.
NOTE: The charger will not operate unless a delay of approximately 20 seconds is observed.
3. Monitor the ammeter for the charge rate. PowerDrive and PowerDrive Plus vehicles: If the vehicle has
not been driven since the last charge cycle and the batteries are fully charged, the onboard computer will
not perform a self-diagnostic test. The charge cycle will begin and the ammeter will not drop to zero. If
the vehicle has been driven, even if only a few feet, the onboard computer will perform the self-diagnostic
test; the ammeter will drop to zero for 2 to 3 seconds before the charge cycle continues. All vehicles:
If the batteries are close to being fully charged, the charge cycle will begin and the charge current will
begin to taper within a few minutes.
