Lacking Power

Sometimes the trolley will lack power maybe particularly uphill but other times not. The main causes for this are lack of voltage in the battery caused from a faulty battery or charger, the trolley pulling too much voltage from the battery causing the battery to lack power later, a faulty gearbox, a faulty motor or excessive load on the trolley.

This is where GolfTrolleyGarage can check your trolley to identify what the reason is for the lack of power and advise you accordingly.

Charger

The charger is generally a smallish black box,  supplied with your trolley to charge up the battery.  The charger plugs into the mains at one end with the other attaching to the battery terminals.

Most have a red light to show the battery is charging  at full voltage output (bulk charge) with a green  light to show it’s dropped to a low voltage output (float charge) and the battery is ready for use. Some chargers may also have a yellow light to indicate nearly charged.

The most common fault with a charger is when the voltage output malfunctions and causes the battery to prematurely deteriorate. This is not easy to identify as the lights on the charger normally still function.

The answer is to have your charger periodically tested (Golf Trolley Garage have the neccessary equipment), also to purchase a new charger if yours is over 4 years old.

Battery

Today the phone rang with a customer who had a problem with two batteries that were intermittently losing power, They went on to add that they also had two chargers. They advised that either battery would have been charged with either charger as they did not keep them in specific pairs.

We requested that they bring in all the items for testing which resulted in:

One battery and one charger being faulty

The other battery and charger were ok.

We always recommend that if you have two batteries and two compatible chargers then keep them in designated pairs like colour coding them or labelling.  If battery faults arise in the future then you will know which pair are at fault and require testing.
