Battery Hibernation / Battery Management System
Recommendations for hibernation of Lithium Batteries during winter months
If for any reason your Lithium battery is not going to be used for lengthy periods, e.g. 3-months over the winter, the battery should be
stored fully charged. Before the battery is used again, recharge it (top it up) prior to use. The battery must not be left for longer than
2-months without charging as this could invalidate your warranty.
We recognise that extended absences are not always planned in advance, however when it is likely that you will not be using your battery
for a period of time it is good practice to follow these steps to extend the life of your Lithium battery. Always recharge as soon as possible
after finishing your round, regardless of the number of holes played - ideally within 12 hours. Leaving batteries uncharged for extended
periods may reduce capacity and could pose a significant safety risk which could result in fire when the battery is charged. Batteries
should always be fully charged prior to storing for long periods. Please ensure that the charger is ALWAYS disconnected from the battery
after charging.
Battery Management System (BMS)
Motocaddy Lithium batteries are fitted with a comprehensive battery management system (BMS) to protect the battery from excessive abuse,
high currents, deep discharge and overcharge. When the battery is delivered there may be no output as the BMS is designed to maximize
safety whilst shipping. Please ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to connecting it to your trolley as this will activate the BMS and
effectively 'switch-on' the battery. From time to time, at deep discharge or long term storage the BMS may switch-off the battery. A full
battery charge will rectify this problem.
Motocaddy golf trolleys are designed to work with the BMS system installed in the Lithium batteries and the battery meter is also
synchronised to work in conjunction with the battery. If for any reason the voltage on the battery falls below the low battery warning on
the trolley, then the BMS may disable the battery to protect it. Again if this occurs please recharge fully. Please be aware that Lithium
batteries tend to 'drop off' quickly at the end of the cycle so it is not advisable to attempt to play excessive holes as the BMS will activate
for protection purposes.
