re-charging will cause negative effect on the battery. Notes: the lead-
acid battery does not develop a memory, so need not be fully discharged
before recharging.
b. If the golf car is going to be kept unused for a certain long time, the
battery shall be fully recharged first. After that, the battery shall be fully
recharged every 2 weeks.
c. When driving, the driver shall be always aware of the drop level of the
battery power from the battery power meter, any drop means the battery
power is diminishing. Besides, the driver shall estimate the distance
needed to be taken, and recharge the battery at a proper time in case that
the car cannot get back to the recharging station in time for recharging.
Please make sure the battery is recharged before the
battery power meter shows 20% power is left inside the battery. Over-
discharged battery will have a very short service life and will make the
recharging very difficult.
During recharging, the car shall be parked in a well-
ventilated area with the fill caps tightly secured. Keep far away from
any flame and sparks to avoid any explosion or fire that could cause
physical injury or damage to the property.
5) Checking the liquid density
During use of the golf car, the liquid density of the battery will increase while
the liquid volume decreases due to evaporation and electrolysis of water in the
electrolyte (especially in summer), therefore it is a must to check the liquid
density every day by the hydrometer. When the density of the liquid becomes
3
lower than the standard density of 1.277
0.007g/cm (80
), please add the
distilled water up to the specified maximum liquid level inside the battery.
After you add the distilled water, please keep charging the battery for 0.5-1
hours to make sure the liquid density of everywhere inside the battery is even.
6) Battery installation
When working with the battery, DO NOT put wrenches or any other
metal objects across the battery terminals, otherwise, an arc can occur,
and it may cause explosion of the battery and physical injury.
Battery is installed or replaced only by the qualified electrician.

When using new battery, make sure new battery is in same
specifications as original one and is appropriate in application.
The following is the charging steps:
1) Turn the power key to OFF position.
2) Connect the DC output plug to the golf car receptacle first, then connect it
to your local AC power outlet.
Do not disconnect the DC output cord from the battery receptacle when
the charger is ON, otherwise an arc could occur which may cause an
explosion.
3) The charger will turn off automatically when the battery is charged
fully.
The battery receptacle is combined with a security switch which can cut
off the power of the golf car when the batter is being charged, so the
golf car cannot be started as long as the DC plug is plugged nto the
battery receptacle.
4) After the charger turns off, disconnect the plug on the AC charging cable
from the AC power outlet first, then disconnect the DC output plug from
the golf car receptacle.
5) It is prohibited to open the housing of the charger.
6) Only qualified electrician is allowed to open the housing of the charger.
7) The charger should be stored in safe and dry room with good ventilation.
