Lithium batteries.

[trevor]

Lithium trolley batteries have been popular now for about 5 years. When I first bought mine I did wonder wether it was going to be worth spending so much money on a battery but as my old lead acid type weren't lasting more than a year and a half I think my lithium has paid for itself now. 5 years old now and working perfectly every time. Just wondering how everyone else's is doing, anyone had problems or heard any horror stories.

So far so good and they weigh nothing compared with the old lead acetate ones

It'll lose a smidgen of charge with non-use. I switch to carrying from now till April, so bring battery out every month or so to top up again. Do I need to? Probably not. As others have said, my 27 hole battery now 5 years old (Motocaddy) and still does 36ers easily.

If it's fully charged when you put it away it should be fine.

Biggest plus with Lithium batteries is charging time those lead acid batteries are on the side for days!!!

I've had a non-lithium 18 hole battery on my motocaddy for over 6 years now and it's still giving me 18 holes. You just have to look after it.

i have 2 lithium electric trolleys, a motocaddy which tells you to remove charger when fully charged, but the powercaddy tells you to leave on charge all the time until next use. I cant see why you have to leave the battery plugged into the charger when full charged.
