Golf Glider Battery

Ryan T

Hi

My golf glider microlite lost a lot of power today after about 4 holes.
Is there anyway to check the battery to see if thats the cause.


Thanks

Its quite hard to check a battery completely without testing the current draw with an ammeter on a battery, but there are some basic checks you can do.

If its not a sealed battery, check the water in the cells for even levels. Top up with distilled water only if low.

Assuming its a 12 volt battery and you have a volt meter, check the batt voltage before you charge it. If its below approx 10v, it prob means it is the battery and not the trolley that caused the issue.

Its now either the battery or charger at fault.

Plug the charger into the wall and expect to see abt 14v at the charger terminals.
Recharge the battery and expect to see approx 12.4v to 13.2v when charge is complete for a good battery.

If voltage has increased from before charge then you can be nearly sure the charger is OK. Even a bad battery should have some voltage increase.

If battery is approx 12.4v to 13.2v then try it again. If it doesn't last the round and is below approx 10v on recheck, then it is almost certainly the battery.

borrow a battery and see how it goes...or put your battery into another kart to see what happens.
AFAIK all the GG batteries are interchangeable.
