Battery

The battery is the power source for your electric golf trolley and so should be looked after. They come in different powers 20ah or 22ah common as 18 hole batteries and 28ah or 30ah for 36 hole batteried, also a 26ah 27 hole version.

It should be charged properly in the first instance as the manufacturers details suggest and if it is new should be discharged fully before being charged again for the first few times to make it work properly and efficiently.

The terminals should be kept clean and free of any corrosion to maintain a proper connection. Such corrosion or build up has caused battery failure. This can be cleaned off by just pouring boiling water over the corrosive powder.

The lead should be break free and if there is a fuse this should be checked now and again to make sure it hasn’t blown.

A normal lead acid battery should last a couple of years with good and proper use and it hasn’t been unknown for it to last more than that but this also depends on how much usage it gets ie 36 holes regularly
