CHARGING THE SMARTPOWER BATTERY

Always start a charging cycle by following these steps:

1.  Connect the charger to the battery
2.  Connect the charger to the wall
3.  Switch the wall socket on

The charger has an indicator light on it:

RED

: 

Indicates the battery is charging. 

GREEN

:

 Indicates that the charge cycle has finished.

The charge cycle time varies depending on how much power has been used: the 

average charge should take 3-4 hours, but can be up to 10 hours. You can accurately 

check the power level of the battery with the free smartphone app, even while it is 

charging. 

BEST PRACTICE 

If the battery is being used regularly (once a week for example), it is OK to leave it 

connected to the charger, with the charger turned on. The Battery Management System 

(BMS) within the battery will prevent any damage.

However it is good practice to disconnect the battery from the charger once the green 

light shows.

BATTERY LIFE & BATTERY LIFESPAN

“

Battery life” is the amount of time your 

machine will run for before the battery needs 

to be recharged. “

Battery lifespan” is the 

amount of time a battery lasts until it needs 

to be replaced. The mix of things you do with 

your Q Follow affects battery life and lifespan 

but no matter how you use it, there are ways 

to help.

A battery’s lifespan is related to its “chemical 

age,” which is more than just the passage 

of time. It includes different factors, such as 

the number of charge cycles and how it was 

cared for. 

To help maximise battery performance 

and help extend battery lifespan, avoid 

charging or leaving the battery in very hot 

environments (including direct sun exposure) 

for extended periods of time. Please read and 

follow the advice in this manual. 

LONG TERM STORAGE

If you are not going to use the Q Follow for 

more than one month, the battery should 

be fully charged after its last game then 

disconnected from the charger and stored in 

a dry environment between 15°C and 25°C 

(59°F and 77°F). 

Once a month you should put the battery 

through a full charge cycle. Before using 

it again, the battery should be given a full 

charge cycle. 

Batteries are a complex technology and a 

number of variables contribute to battery 

performance and thus the performance of 

your Q Follow. 

All rechargeable batteries are consumables 

and have a limited lifespan: eventually their 

capacity and performance decline so that 

they need to be replaced. As batteries 

age, it can contribute to changes in their 

performance.  

CARING FOR YOUR BATTERY

•  DO 

follow these instructions 

exactly. 

•  DO

only use the charger 

supplied to charge the battery.

•  DO

charge the battery 

immediately after each use, 

certainly within 48 hours.

•  DO

check the battery charge 

level with the app prior to use 

to ensure you have sufficient 

power to complete your round.

•  DO

charge in a well ventilated 

area.

•  DO

store & charge the battery 

in a dry environment between 

15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). 

•  DO

 fully disconnect and unplug 

the charger from the mains and 

battery between charges. 

•  DO NOT

drop, throw, puncture 

or crush the battery.

•  DO NOT

immerse in water or 

any liquid.

•  DO NOT

clean with any 

abrasives or solvents; a damp 

cloth is fine.

•  DO NOT

leave the battery in a 

discharged state.

•  DO NOT

open or disassemble 

the battery or charger. This is 

dangerous and will void the 

warranty.

•  DO NOT

cover during use or 

charging.

•  DO NOT

expose the battery 

extreme temperatures (

never

store in a car in winter or 

summer.)

•  DO NOT 

solder or connect 

anything to the terminals other 

than as guided in this manual.
