Battery Charging & Maintenance
Connect the battery cable plug with the charger and then plug the charger into an electrical outlet. During the charging
cycle the LED on the charger will show a blinking green light (some charger models also have a red steady light
during charging). Once the charging cycle is complete the blinking green light or the red light will turn into a steady
green light. It is now okay to unplug the charger and battery for reuse. The charging cycle can last up to 12 hours
depending on the level of discharge.
Normally the battery will hold its charge for several months, and it does not have a “memory effect”, and therefore can
be recharged at any discharge level.
It is not recommended to fully discharge the batteries, as this will shorten
battery life drastically.
The battery has a normal lifespan of 150-200 charges, depending on charging frequency,
storage conditions and time and discharge history. Before storing a battery for extended periods of time you must fully
charge it.
DO NOT
store an empty battery or else it might become unusable. Replacement batteries are available from
your authorized Bat-Caddy dealer or directly from Bat-Caddy.
Note:
Life of sealed lead acid and any other batteries is dependent on a variety of factors, other than purely the number of charges,
including but not limited to frequency between charges, duration of charge, level of drainage, idle time, storage conditions and
duration and overall shelf time. We cover our batteries according to our warranty policy and any potential additional coverage is at
our discretion.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGING & MAINTENANCE
a. Fully charge the battery for ca. 12 hours before the first use
b.
Do not leave the battery on the charger
if it is not used for extended periods of time, but remove it from the
charger after charge is complete.
c. The battery will take approximately 2-3 rounds and charging cycles before it reaches its full operating potential.
During the first couple of rounds it might still be below its optimal power.
d. Always keep your battery fully charged before another game
e. Never keep your battery connected to the grid during prolonged power outages. It might be irreversibly damaged
f. Do not fully discharge the battery by “overplaying” it. It is recommended to recharge the battery after every 18
holes.
