6. Charging the battery.
Always start every round with a fully charged battery.
Charge your battery as soon as possible after every round (certainly within 24 hours)
even if you have played only a few holes. This will maximize the life of your battery.
To charge your battery, ensure your charger is not connected to the mains and
connect it to the battery. Connect the charger to the mains. If the green light on your
charger flashes, switch off immediately and check the polarity of the charger leads.
The charger light will turn red indicating that charging is taking place. When your
battery is charged, the light will turn from red to green. With a new or fully charged
battery, the red light may show only for a short time before turning green.
Ideally, you should charge your battery for a minimum of 8 hours, even if the red light
turns green before this. This will ensure that the maximum charge is put into the
battery and will increase battery life.
The charger supplied with your cart is a modern 3 stage charger. We recommend
that you leave the battery connected to the charger with the mains until the next time
you play golf. The electronic circuits in the charger will protect your battery from
over-charging and will ensure your battery is kept topped-up.
Switch the charger off at the mains before disconnecting the battery. If you do not
intend to use your cart for several months, fully charge the battery and then
disconnect from the charger. Recharge your battery every 30 to 45 days. Leaving the
battery on charge for an extended period may cause the battery to dry out and
shorten the life of both the battery and charger.
You must give your battery an initial ‘commissioning’ charge before using it for the first
time. Charge your battery for a minimum of 16 hours, even if the green light appears
soon after commencing charging.
