• Please do not charge the battery in a sealed container or in upside down position. It is
recommended to charge the battery in a well-ventilated area.
• Please do not charge the battery near a heater, where heat accumulation may occur, or in direct
sunshine.
• In order to prolong the service life of the battery, please avoid complete discharge and charge the
battery after every use. Unplug the battery from the charger once the charge is complete. When
the trolley is not in use for an extended period of time, it is recommended to charge the battery
once every 6 weeks.

Battery Charging Instructions SLA Batteries
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 red steady light. Once the charging
cycle is complete 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 approx. 150
charges, depending on charging frequency, storage conditions, and time and discharge history, which
could reduce this lifetime. Before storing a battery for extended periods of time you must
fully charge it.
DO NOT store a discharged battery or else it might become unusable. Replacement batteries are
available from your authorized dealer or directly from Bat-Caddy.
Recommendations
• Fully charge the battery for ca. 5-9 hours before the first use
• Do not leave the battery on the charger if it is not used for extended periods of time; remove it
from the charger after charge is complete
• 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.
*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. We cover our batteries according to our warranty policy and
any potential additional coverage is at our discretion".
