GOLFBOARD OWNER’S MANUAL

4.4  HARDWARE ADJUSTMENTS 

Vibrations from normal use can cause some bolt and screw fittings to loosen over time. Check 
all fasteners for tightness before each use, especially if used on rough surfaces that cause 
vibration.  

4.5  BATTERY PACK CHARGING AND REPLACEMENT 

4.5.1  Battery Pack Charging Overview 

The lithium battery is fully contained and requires zero maintenance during its operational life. 
Charging of the GolfBoard battery should be done ONLY with the original charger provided to 
you, or a factory direct replacement. The following notes and procedures will help ensure your 
battery last for many years to come.  

 
 

4.5.2  Charging Procedure 

The GolfBoard battery should be charged after each use. The GolfBoard AC Adapter must be 
kept in a cool, dry, and dust/debris free environment during storage and usage. The AC Adapter 
has one wire that plugs into any standard 120 or 240 volt power outlet, with the other end 
plugging into the GolfBoard charge port. Be sure the AC Adapter is disconnected from AC 
power (at wall or at Adapter) before plugging the Adapter cord into the GolfBoard charge port. 
Once connected to the charge port, AC power can be connected to the Adapter. When the 
battery is below “full charge” state the AC adapter will automatically charge the pack when 
plugged in. When the charge is complete, the charging will automatically stop and go into 
“sleep” mode. AC adapter will not over-charge the GolfBoard battery. 

NOTICE

 

  Always unplug the GolfBoard charger once the charge has been completed.  

  Extreme temperatures will affect battery life, especially during charging. Avoid 

charging in direct sunlight or in very hot or cold temperatures. This will reduce the 
life of the battery considerably.  We recommend charging the battery at room 
temperature (approximately 20 °C / 68 °F). 

 

A lithium Ion battery does not have a memory effect, which means that the battery’s 
maximum energy capacity is not affected if it is repeatedly recharged after only 
being partially discharged. The battery does not need to be completely discharged 
before recharging. We recommend charging the battery after every use. 

  When the battery is depleted to the level where there is risk it could fall into deep 

discharge, the battery will automatically shut down power until the being recharged. 

 WARNING

 

Do not use charger that has obvious signs of damage to the cable, housing, or the 
connector.
