Battery on my m1pro only lasting 12 holes .
had 3 new ones in last 18 months
heard Motocaddy are having problems with the motors in this model.
anyone else had similar issues.
 
There are lots of thing it could be,you don't mention what battery it is how old is the trolley and how often you use it and do you charge the battery after use or leave it flat then charge it just before you use it again.

Not sure where you heard this but if you Google either m1pro motor problems or battery problems you don't get a lot of relevant hits - in fact this thread is right at the top of both!

So what have you heard and where?

Requiring 3 new Li batteries in 18 months strongly suggests that there is something very wrong with either your trolley, charger or process. What did they say when the trolley and charger were checked over by motorcaddy (as this must have started in the warrantee period)
 
Had mine 18 months, used 2-3 times per week, no issues at all.

It's not a lithium battery.

golf monthly sent me an email with a link to " the best lithium battery on the market." It's on their website about Motocaddy motors. (Top caddy.co.uk.)

i have given my trolley back to my pro to have it tested by Motocaddy.

i agree no hits on Google that's why I'm here for any others experience.

First battery lasted 6 months second under warranty 7 months 3 rd I bought myself has lasted 7/8 months.

battery light is on red after 12 holes when charged fully.

tried friends battery same prob so I think it is the trolley

i play 2/3 times a week and put it on charge as soon as I get home.

motocaddys first contact was to ask if I had the wheels on correct sides.
my answer was after 20 months I would still be in the car park if wheels were on wrong sides.

i just want to know if anyone else had these probe so I can quiz the pro when he gets my trolley back from Motocaddy.
 
You are right it's not lithium just basic lead acid but have been told by live chat on Topcaddy.co.uk that this will still happen if I buy a lithium battery if there is a motor issue.

they say Motocaddy have bought 4000 new motors to sort this out.

i am hoping it is this at least I will know what's wrong.

i don't believe all you read in the press or online that's why I'm here asking the guys who know best real golfers.

Iv had issues with motocaddy and batteries before, when I had lead acid I couldn't get anymore than a summer season out of it. Had to replace it every year, it didn't seem to like sitting about during winter months. Got a lithium battery now and this is its first winter so we will see what it's like next year

My point about Google is that it will pick up forum posts (this one already being high as I highlighted) so you get a wide picture.

Good luck

BTW people putting their wheels on the wrong way round is a common issue creating low drive situations...as raised on this forum some time ago and completely solving someone's trolley problems at the time.
 
My main concern is my trolley will come back with Motocaddy saying there is nothing wrong with it .
this leaves me in limbo so fingers crossed it is the motor and it can be sorted or it will need constant batteries like a torch.
 
These are like Jimmy Crickets wellies they have L & R on them.

But I did try it but the cluch in the wheel just spun round and it never moved an inch.

thanks for the input.
 
Had my lead battery coming on four years now, when I know it's not going to be used for a bit I recharge it anyway. That's now the kiss of death applied to my battery.
