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.
Always keep your battery fully charged before another game.
Never keep your battery connected to the grid during prolonged power outages. It might be
irreversibly damaged.
DO NOT
fully discharge the battery by “overplaying” it. It is recommended to recharge the
battery after every 18 holes.
Do not strike lead acid battery terminals with metallic tools since this can contribute to sparks
and cause subsequent explosions.
Keep the tops of your batteries clean and check that cables are tight. Do not tighten or remove
cables while charging or discharging. Any spark around batteries can cause a hydrogen
explosion inside, and ruin one of the cells, and you.
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 battery, as this will shorten battery life. The battery lifespan is depending on
charging frequency, storage conditions 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 NovaCaddy
dealer, or from NovaCaddy directly. You can also order online at:
*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, operating temperature, storage
conditions and duration and overall shelf time.
4. Important Safety Instructions
•
Be alert and act responsibly at all time while operating your caddy, just as you would when
operating a riding cart, or motor vehicle. We absolutely do not recommend the consumption
of alcohol or any other impairing substances while operating our caddies.
•
Also, please make sure to always turn the power off and secure the caddy when you park
and leave the unit for any reason, either on or off course.
•
With its optimized balance and straight front wheel the caddy has extraordinarily narrow and
responsive turning and maneuvering abilities. However, it sometimes tends to react to severe
uneven weight distribution of its load or steep slope variations and follows the slope of the
golf course. Therefore, please make sure the weight in your bag is distributed evenly (move
heavy balls and items to both sides, or shift the bag on the caddy).
