CHARGING INSTRUCTIONS & BATTERY LIFE 

Basic Charging Instructions

Before the first use, charge the machine until the battery is fully charged. 

For optimal battery life, fully charge machine after each use. If you do not fully charge
the battery after each use, the battery life will be shortened. All chargers have trickle
charge technology which ensures the battery will not be overcharged. 

Use the LED indicator on the charger for battery charging status. A blinking
orange/red light indicates the battery is very depleted.

Charging the Battery with the Standard Charger

   • Plug charger into an AC outlet then plug the connector into charger port.
   • The LED on charger is red when charging, turning green when fully charged.
   • A depleted battery may take up to 18-22 hours to fully charge.

If you purchased a premium fast charger with the machine, you will not receive a standard charger.

Charging the Battery with the Premium Charger

   • Plug the charger into an AC outlet then plug the connector into the charger port. 
   • The LED on the charger is red while charging and turns green when fully charged.
   • A depleted battery will be fully charged in 3 hours.

Extending Run Time of Battery with the Premium Charger

The 

premium charger

can extend run time up to 2 hours. To use this feature:

   • Ensure the battery is mostly charged, connect the charger to the machine, turn

the machine on and play.   

   • The premium charger will NOT fully charge the battery and power the machine

at the same time.  It will not power the machine if the battery is dead.

Battery Life and Maintenance

For optimal battery life, fully charge the machine after each use. The most common
reason for shortened battery capacity and battery life is chronically undercharging
the machine. 

Never let the machine go uncharged for more than one month.

Before storing the machine, fully charge the battery and then recharge
monthly. 

During the winter season or when the ball machine is not in use, the

battery should be charged 

every month

, otherwise the battery life will be reduced.

Similar to a car battery, the battery in your ball machine will need to be replaced
depending on use and care. Replacement batteries 
are available on our 

website

and can be installed by the owner or the machine can be sent to Lobster for
maintenance. A video tutorial on battery replacement is available on the 

support

section of our website or on the 

Lobster Sports YouTube channel
