Battery Maintenance

A golf trolley requires a deep cycle golf battery. The term deep cycle, put simply, means a battery that is designed to store a lot of energy, which can be drained and then recharged over and over again.

In contrast, a starting battery, which is used in a car, is designed to deliver a quick burst of energy, but never become very drained, as it is continually charged up by the cars alternator. It is very important to only use a deep cycle battery on your trolley with the correct type of charger as a car charger will shorten your golf trolley battery's life very considerably.

The life of your battery will depend on how you treat / maintain your battery :-

• When your battery arrives from ProTrolley.com it may not be fully charged, we do advise that you immediately give it a top up charge for a few hours before you use it on the trolley
• Only use the correct charger which was supplied by ProTrolley or one specifically designed for deep cycle GEL/AGM batteries. It must say that it is a two or three stage (step) charger. That is because there must be a very low maintenance charge to keep your battery in peak condition.
• Do not leave your battery in a discharged state; always put it on charge immediately after your round of golf. Please do not leave it on the maintenance charge for very long periods over the winter without use
• Do not store your battery in extreme conditions, either very cold or very hot.
• Every four or five rounds check that your golf trolley battery is in good working order, check the terminals are tight and clean.
