Battery life
- In laboratory conditions over 250 simulated golf cycles, the battery can be expected to lose 15% capacity
- The battery can be expect to lose 2-3% capacity per year through cell degradation, compared with a lead/acid battery which can lose 8-9% per year
How long does the SmartPower battery last?
Just like an electric car, the range of your trolley’s battery will vary. Factors like the weight of your bag, course terrain, low temperature, and ground conditions all affect range. Heavier bags, hilly courses, cold weather, and soft ground all require more power, which will reduce the number of holes covered on a single charge.
You can maximise the number of holes your battery will give you by always fully charging it before every round, not storing it in extremes of temperature, and not overloading your golf bag.
