5.1 Battery Charging & Maintenance
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 blinking
green light (some models also have a red steady light during charging). Once the charging
cycle is complete the blinking green light or the red light will turn into a steady green light.
It is now suitable to unplug the charger and battery for reuse. The charging cycle can last
up to 10 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. The battery
has a normal lifespan of 400-600 charges, depending on charging frequency, storage
conditions and discharge history. Replacement batteries are available from your
authorized SPITZER dealer or directly from SPITZER.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR BATTERY CHARGING & MAINTENANCE
a. Fully charge the battery for 12 hours before the first use
b. Do not leave the battery on the charger if it is not used for extended periods of time. It is
not recommended to leave the charger on the battery for more than 12 hours.
c. 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.
d. Always keep your battery fully charged before another game
e. Never keep your battery connected to the grid during prolonged power outages. It might
be irreversibly damaged
f. Do not fully discharge the battery by “overplaying” it. It is recommended to recharge the
battery after every 18 holes.
