subject: Electric Golf Trolleys - Suitability And Battery Size: Breif Report [print this page] Electric Golf Trolleys are really helpful to the players on the golf course. They reduce the effort of carrying the golf equipments and refreshments through the rough and hilly Golf course. They have enclosed trolley bags and facilities for holding clubs, trays, drinks, umbrella etc. Golf Trolleys are available in many types. Lightweight and heavy duty Golf carts are available. Some come with detachable battery and adjustable handle height. There are a lot of other modifications that can be done according to your comfort needs. Golf carts with the ability to freewheel are also available. This will enable the Golf trolley to be switched off when going down a slope. A lot of battery power can be saved in this way. If you use the trolley for a long time, it can run out of battery. Then you'll need to push or pull the trolley wherever you go. If your trolley does not have freewheel mode, then you will have to carry it.
Golf trolley batteries are available in many power ratings. There are 20AH, 28AH and 36 AH battery ratings where AH is ampere hours. 20 AH is the minimum rating. It can last hardly upto an 18 hole match, if the terrain is flat or little bit hilly. A 28AH battery can last little longer. It can last long enough for an 18 hole game, on a very hilly course.
If you want the trolley to last for a long time, especially for a 36 hole game, then you will need a 36AH battery. It can last really long. For this battery type the trolley should get fully drained and recharged again. If residual charge is present in the battery it cal lead to a phenomenon called memory effect. This can badly affect the performance of the battery and result in a short battery life cycle.
Always prefer battery that has a longer period of warranty. They can often be expensive but they are really good in quality. Low warranty period batteries are often of poor quality and are cheaper. But they won't last long and you will need to go shopping for a new battery shortly. So consider this warranty factor while purchasing a battery.
