Bat-Caddy Questions
Should I charge the battery once I receive the unit?
Bat-Caddy: Our 12V sealed lead acid batteries come more or less fully charged, but we
recommend to charge them for a full 12 hours before the first usage. The charger should
either have a blinking green light or a red light while it's charging and turn into a steady
green light when the battery is fully charged. The batteries develop their full potential
after a few full charging cycles. We recommend not to leave the batteries on charge for
longer periods of time. After a charging cycle is completed over night, unplug the
battery and it will hold its charge for weeks, if not months.
How long does the battery last?
Bat-Caddy: Our batteries are rated to last on average for at least 27 holes or 6-7 hours of
play per charge (anyone advertising longer operational functionality on the same
ratings batteries is very likely overstating the continuous battery performance).
Depending on the weight of your bag, topography of your course and the distance of
travel they might last longer or shorter. However, we recommend to recharge the
battery after every 18 holes or 5 hours of play, as complete drainage reduces the life
time of a battery significantly! The overall life time for sealed lead acid and any other
batteries used by any caddy OEM 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 between usages, storage conditions and
duration and overall shelf life. We usually predict a battery lasting anywhere between
120-180 charging cycles, if it is used frequently and according to instructions. We do
cover our batteries 100% according to our published warranty policy, and any potential
additional coverage is at our discretion.
What do the lights on the handle mean?
Bat-Caddy: The red, yellow and green LEDs on the handle indicate the level of charge of
the battery. When the battery is fully charged they all should be lit. As the battery drains
itself first the green, then yellow will go off. If only the red is on it's time to recharge.
My caddy has no power when I try to turn it on?
Bat-Caddy: Please check if all electrical connections are tight. Also check the fuse in the
red cable of the battery leads within the battery carrying case. If broken please replace
with a standard 30 Amp automotive fuse.
My caddy tends to track to one side. What should I do?
Bat-Caddy: All caddies will follow the weight and slope. If the weight in your bag is
unevenly distributed the caddy will always tend to track to that side. Make sure that
