Charging over winter
I have a 99 DS with the Powerdrive 3 charger. I believe I read that this charger will turn back on every 15 days if left plug in.
Is this a fact and is it enough to maintain the batteries long term over the winter..? Should they be check periodically.? |

Re: Charging over winter
Google is your friend.
If this is your charger, read the bottom of page 5 of the attached. • Long-Term Storage Charge Vehicles with PowerDrive 3 chargers are designed to be left connected, with AC power to the charger on, during off-season 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. https://xrtdealers.clubcar.com/owner...0507F0412E.pdf Owners Manual for Powerdrive 3 Charger.pdf |

Re: Charging over winter
How long will it be left unattended?
Truly unattended batteries should be disconnected (after full charge) since there are many things outside the charger/obc that can prevent the charger from working. Any water added to the batteries should be done at least three charging cycles before the cart is placed in storage to allow plenty of time for the water to be fully mixed with the existing electrolyte. |
