Apps Club Car Pack Charging System

Club Car® Pack Charging Systems feature Bluetooth wireless communication, which can be accessed using an Apple® or Android™ smartphone, tablet, or similar device. Download the Club Car Pack Charging System (CCPCS) app for your device by visiting the App Store® or the Google Play™ store and searching for the “Club Car Pack Charging System App”. The charger must be connected to a valid battery pack in order to communicate with it via Bluetooth. If the charger is connected to a valid battery pack, open the CCPCS app and select the charger from the list of available chargers that the app is able to communicate with on the “Connect” screen. The charger serial number is the identifier of the unit unless the “Charger ID” has been previously set via the app. While connected, the Red, Yellow, and Green LEDs on the charger will slowly blink at the same time until the Bluetooth communication is disconnected from the charger. If the unit was actively charging before the Bluetooth connection was made, it will continue to charge while connected unless stopped via the app. Your location services in device settings must be enabled for the app to work.
