BATTERY TIPS
For your information here are some tips I give to my customers who purchase a new battery:
ALWAYS:
- Charge your new battery for 24 hours before use. New batteries can require up to six uses/charges before reaching optimum performance.
- Re-charge your battery immediately after every use – regardless of how many holes you have played.
- Charge in a well ventilated area away from heat source or direct sunlight.
- When not in use for extended periods top-up charge once a month.
- There is no need to keep your battery on constant charge. Charge for 8 to 10 hours then switch off, this can help safeguard against damage if your charger should develop a fault.
DO NOT:
- Leave the battery in a discharged condition.
- Discharge the battery other than through normal use on your trolley. This may damage the battery and result in reduced life and performance.
- Overload your trolley.
- Drop the battery, this will result in damage.
FACTORS WHICH MAY AFFECT BATTERY LIFE:
- Bag weight.
- Number of rounds per week.
- Course length and condition.
- Charging regime – additionally chargers can develop faults and should be professionally tested every year.
- Age and condition of trolley and components – e.g. seized/over tight wheels, worn motor, loose or broken battery connections.
- Temperature.
