How to Charge a ICON EV | Golf Cart | Salty Fryes Golf Carts

In this video we walk you through the steps on how to charge your Icon EV!
first lift the seat on the battery compartment and locate the switch on the drivers side. Flip this switch to the off position while being careful not to put this switch into manual EMB. Then insert the plug into any standard 110 wall plug there is no additional adapter needed for this. When charging the indicator light located on the front of the battery compartment will illuminate according to the battery level. When illuminated green the battery is full. Remove the plug and you are ready for miles of new fun.

Why does the fan turn on only for a few moments when i plug it in? It used to stay on until fully charged.

You should plug cart in first then into electrical outlet. To unplug, unplug outlet first then cart!

I was told there is a break-in period for a new cart; that for the 1st 20 times I use the cart, not to go below 70%. Is that necessary?

[@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005]

There is a break in period for the batteries. Of at least 15 charge cycles. However you should allow the batteries to discharge to 70% or below before plugging the cart in to properly condition the batteries.

What if you leave the switch on? I didn’t know you were suppost to turn that switch off the dealer did not tell me . Having a issue with my elctomagnetic brakes . The cart is new . Could the be the reason ? Maybe I’m overthinking it

[@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005]

This is a very good question. It is not required to turn the switch off, but we recommend this as standard practice, because this will cut the power to the motor and the controller to save these components in the case of a rare power surge. I’m not sure that this could be the issue with your EMB but if the cart is new this should be covered under warranty and we recommend contacting your dealer.

@@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005 turned out to be separate issue . The brakes need loosened they were too tight and in turn when the electromagnetic brake started to turn on it completely locked my wheels. Simple fix . From now on I turn the switch on off but I guess what’s more important is pluggin into a receptacle , with the only thing drawing electricity is the charger for the golf cart .

What dose it mean when the charger turn off an on during charging
Bad charger??

[@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005]

Could be things as simple as loose connections to the main positive and main negative, corrosion in the plug, your power source, or could be your charger. If this is a consistent problem you are experiencing please contact your dealer so they can get this serviced under warranty.

why won’t the swith go to run i keep trying to switch it to run and it won’t work it just stays on offf

[@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005]

It should just be a three position toggle switch. You should feel three distict clicks in the switch as you move it up and down. your switch may be loose or need to be replaced under warranty. please contact your dealer.

You do not need to put the run switch into the off position. I am an Icon cart owner, it is an unnecessary step.

[@saltyfryesgolfcarts6005]

We suggest it to be consistent with the owners manual.
