Re: Buying a new cart
1st look at the date stamp on batteries. 2nd make sure they show you the charger works. Yes the carts are serviceable and even upgradable. If you check the stickies particularly the what year is my club car sticky you can figure out the year by the serial number and then people on here can help with with a lot more information.

year is very important 2004 DS 48v has two types of drive systems Powerdrive system and IQ system a quick look at the F/R switch will tell you which it is a rocker switch is I Q .... handle switch is Powerdrive IQ has regan braking Regenerative Braking. a Shunt Wound System. All this means is the system was designed for golf courses for the safety features it gives. The system will protect from unattended roll away on a hill. The system will electrically slow the car on a down hill run. To an extent the system during a plugging mode will return a portion of generated current back to the batteries. That is it in a nut shell. Now what does this mean to you ? It means you would have an expensive system to maintain and repair. It means you have a system that is hard to work with in terms of repair and upgrading. |
