Motocaddy golf trolleys are designed to work with the BMS system installed in the Lithium batteries and the battery meter is also synchronised to work in conjunction with the battery. If for any reason the voltage on the battery falls below the low battery warning on the trolley, then the BMS may disable the battery to protect it.
