ADVICE FOR GOLFERS ON WINTER BATTERY CAREnFollowing various high profile general Lithium battery incidents seen in the media, the world’s top-selling powered trolley brand is keen to stress the importance of adhering to recommended battery charging and storage advice to avoid problems, particularly over prolonged periods of inactivity and the colder winter months. Therefore, it has issued the following advice for owners of its Lithium batteries ahead of the forthcoming period when less golf is played:nnBattery hibernation – If the battery is not going to be used for lengthy periods, the battery should be fully charged and then disconnect the charger. Before using again, it should be recharged (topped up) prior to use. Leaving batteries uncharged for extended periods may reduce capacity.nAvoid low temperatures – Batteries should be stored at room temperature and never at low temperatures (under 10°C) when disconnected from the trolley or battery charger. The battery must not be left in an uncharged state in temperatures below 5°C, as this could pose a significant safety risk that could result in a fire when charged.nRegular recharging – The battery must not be left for longer than two consecutive months without charging or being checked.nAvoid overcharging – Once a battery has been fully charged (the green light turns on), it should be disconnected. It should not be left connected to the charger unattended overnight or indefinitely.nCharging location – The battery must be stored and charged on a dry, hard, non-carpeted surface.nExtended range batteries – These should always be recharged as soon after use as possible – ideally within 12 hours. They shouldn’t be used over consecutive days without being charged.
