CC Excel Charger Question
Hi all,
I have a 2013 Precedent Excel, with all stock mechanicals, and brand new Crown Batteries. Serial number starts with PH. The charger is a Power Drive 3, a couple of question for you all: Is the Power Drive 3 the correct charger for the car? I noticed that when I plug the DC cord into the cart I hear a click, before the AC cord is ever plugged in, when I plug the AC cord in, I get another click, but it takes about 2 minutes for the charger to start. after that it seems to operate as expected. I also have a 2006 CC DS, and the charger starts about 15 seconds after plugging in the AC cord. Also no clicks as described above. Thank you, George |

Re: CC Excel Charger Question
Try plugging the charger into the wall first, then plug charger into the cart. See if that changes anything. It should take a few seconds then come on, then after 30 seconds or so it will cut off and cut back on automatically. It's supposed to do that. Power Drive 3 is correct for my 2010 PH. I'm sure its correct for yours.

Definitely the correct charger. AC plug needs to be plugged in first.

Thanks for your reply, I read the manual wrong, and having been plugging in the DC side first ever since I got the DS 10 years ago. George |

Re: CC Excel Charger Question
There is no need to unplug the A/C cord at all.
