Do’s and Don’ts for Maintaining Your Golf Trolley Battery

As the game of golf is gaining popularity over the world and becoming more and more competitive with every passing day, several new pieces of assistive equipment have been introduced to enhance a golfer’s performance, and making the game better. These items not only help a golfer decide on how to make the correct swing but some also help reduce a golfer’s fatigue and injuries to help him perform better. The golf trolley is one such piece of equipment. In present day golf, this item has become a necessity for any serious minded golfer as opposed to just an item of style and luxury. A golf trolley helps to reduce the stress of carrying the heavy golf bag around and thus relaxes the shoulder, lower back and neck helping a golfer to concentrate more on the game without having to worry about the tiredness and injury.

However, like all equipment, a golf trolley also needs proper maintenance to function perfectly in the long run. It needs to be cleaned properly, the wheels need to be cleared of mud and debris which accumulates during the long sessions on a lush green course, the clutch needs to be cleaned, and so on. Failing to do so might cause the golf trolley to malfunction and leave its owner stranded in the middle of a game.

Although a golf trolley requires all these maintenance steps to function properly, the main area of concern for its performance remains the battery. The battery is the primary source of power for the golf trolley and it requires proper maintenance and proper charging methods for a long lasting performance, and in turn helping the golf trolley to perform better. It is essential for the proud owner of a golf trolley to know how to properly maintain its battery for the optimum utilisation of the equipment.

The primary step for maintaining the battery for a golf trolley is proper methods of charging. Special care should be taken to ensure that the battery is being charged in the correct method. For this purpose, it is important to know that a battery life will depend on certain factors. They are the frequency of use, the number of holes played in each round of the game, the type of the golf course i.e. whether it’s hilly or flat, the weight of the bag and clubs that the golf trolley would carry across the course for the entire stretch of the game and, of course, the battery age. A new battery should be charged for at least 24 hours to activate it before using, even if the “charge complete” light comes on before the time is over. A battery should do fine for 18 holes. Using it for more than that without charging might discharge and damage the battery. So after every game it should be properly charged. It is definitely not recommended to keep the battery connected to the charger with the mains switched off. In the case that the golf trolley is not required to be used for a long time, the battery should be stored properly. It should be fully charged, removed from the charger and stored in a place having a temperature between ten to thirty degrees Celsius. It should be recharged every three months at least.
