Lithium battery

[Mike58]

I’ve got a motocaddy S1 trolley and have just bought a power bug lithium battery. But the trolley will not work when I connect the battery to it. Any ideas?

Can I ask why you didn't buy a Motocaddy battery ?

BTW, welcome along to the forum.

why would you pay twice as much as you need to to buy the branded version of the same thing that does the same job?

Why did you buy another battery ?
The problem might be the trolley.
Ask a friend can you try it on theirs to test it.

Battery was cheaper but advertised as suitable for the S1.

Presume the battery is charged

 

[Mike58]

Yes fully charged. 16v output.

We the connectors the right way around?

 

[Bunkermagnet]

I have found that after some time the connectors in the plug get lazy and dont connect fully.

Yes the connectors are the right way round.

It’s a brand new battery.

Maybe there's something in the circuitry detects a non Motocaddy battery and therefore not all connections are made...
Good way to tie you I to replacing with the real thing.....

I have the golf workshop lithium battery on my S1, have no issues it not being a genuine motorcaddy battery. As suggested, definitely try it on another trolley if you can.

Did it come with the leads pre-attached then?
Have you checked the trolley side plug, there may be an issue there being the original connector

Will do.

Yes leads attached. Trolley still works with old battery.

A battery is a battery, the only difference is in the materials used and therefore the charger required. Motocaddy don't make their own batteries, they brand a Chinese made unit from a company that used to operate the name of which I cannot remember now.
