Battery Runs Down Quickly
CartManager XD+ should operate for 8-10 hours on a full charge, which is indicated by all green lights on the battery
charger. This time may be decreased if CartManager XD+ is being used on inclines such as hills or ramps; if carts are
loaded during collection runs, or if the batteries are faulty. If the charge level indicator consistently reads low after
less than 8 hours of use, check the following:
1. Open the CartManager XD+ hood and check all battery connections and terminals. Clean any that are dirty or
corroded, using the procedure on page 15.
2. Tighten any loose connections.
3. Check for any leaks around the bases of the batteries. If you find leaks, replace the faulty battery as per the
directions in the Replacing CartManager XD+ Batteries section below.
4. If the problem persists, contact Gatekeeper Systems Customer Support.
Replacing CartManager XD+ Batteries
If you find a leaking battery or you suspect that the battery is faulty, the battery should be replaced. Running
CartManager XD+ with a faulty battery will damage the battery charger and may result in injury or damage due to
leaking battery acid.
You will need:
• Replacement 12 volt, heavy-duty, maintenance free, deep-cycle battery; part #E500155-04,
• A 1/2” (13 mm) socket, driver and short extension,
• Several clean, dry cloths,
• If the battery is leaking, a pan or tray to put it in,
• Safety goggles and rubber gloves,
• Lightweight waterproof grease.
1. Park CartManager XD+ in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. Do not plug in the charger cord.
2. Put on the gloves and safety goggles.
BATTERY ACID CAN CAUSE SEVERE BURNS TO SKIN AND EYES! IN CASE OF CONTACT, RINSE
IMMEDIATELY WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF RUNNING WATER.
3. Note the position of the battery in the compartment and the arrangement of the wires connected to it. If
necessary, use pieces of masking tape or sticky notes to label the wires.
4. Use the 1/2” (13 mm) socket to completely disconnect all cables from the battery being removed. If replacing
multiple batteries, do one at a time to avoid mixing up the cables when you reconnect them.
5. Lift the battery carefully from the battery compartment and place in the tray. These batteries are heavy; be sure
to use good body mechanics and observe proper safety precautions when handling the battery.
6. Place the new battery into the battery compartment with the terminals in the same orientation as the battery you
just removed. If in doubt, check the diagram on page 25.
7. Make sure the battery terminals and connections are clean and dry. If the connecting cables are dirty or
corroded, clean them following the procedure on page 15.
8. Reconnect the new battery. Securely tighten all connections and apply a light coat of waterproof grease.
9. Dispose of the old battery in accordance with your store policy on handling hazardous waste.
10. Plug CartManager XD+ in and allow to charge overnight (8 hours).
11. If any battery acid has splashed on clothing, soak thoroughly with a solution of 1 tablespoon baking soda per 1
cup of water. Rinse well with running water.
