Lithium battery

[Bunkermagnet]

Yes leads attached. Trolley still works with old battery.

Did you charge the new battery up before use, and if so did you notice the charger light showing it was charging?
Have you checked the leads connected to the new battery are good? Sometimes when they crimp a terminal connector onto a lead they crimp onto the outer sheathing rather than the copper cable.
If the terminal crimping is correct, I would suggest the battery is no good, so it's "just" a case of contacting them and arranging a new one and yours sent back.

If you can get to a golf club and try your new battery on somebody else’s trolley, always plenty of motorcaddy trolleys coming past. Then try their battery on yours, you will find out if it’s the trolley or battery at least.

Might be teaching you to suck eggs, but have you checked the battery for an on/switch? You wouldn’t be the first (or last) to make such a basic error?

I’m not admitting to anything here - honest ?

Also, did you use the lithium charger, not the one from your old lead acid battery?

Given you have tried all the obvious.
It does sound like you have a dud , it happens .
So a replacement is nessesary.

I've actually seen this happen to a friend, he felt a bit of an idiot when he was told about the switch. It wasn't me... honest!

As the OP hasn’t replied to these comments, does this mean he hadn’t turned the battery on??

Issue I had with my golf glider was the controller unit wouldn't take to the battery had to replace it working now.

Posting as it might help someone looking this up down the line.

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.....

Would be surprised at that. I have an old S1, I replaced the original lead battery a couple of times with different lead batteries, and finally with a 3rd party lithium, that has been working fine for over 5 years.

Sorry for the silence people. Speaking to power bug, it would appear that the battery is incompatible with my trolley even though they claim it was on the advert. Battery has now been returned and awaiting refund. Thanks for your thoughts and ideas.
