Winter checklist for electric trolleys
As the golf season draws to a close, it is important to prepare not only the clubs but also the electric trolley for the winter. Careful preparation protects against damage and ensures that the equipment works perfectly again in spring. This checklist provides practical tips for the care and storage of electric trolleys - regardless of the brand.
Battery care:
The battery of an electric caddy requires special attention. The manufacturer's recommendations should be followed here. It is generally recommended to store the battery at a charge level of around 50-70% and not to leave it plugged into the charger. A full charge can reduce the service life, whereas a partially discharged battery will preserve the battery optimally. The battery should also be stored in a cool, dry place - 15 degrees is ideal.
Thorough cleaning:
Before storing, the caddy should be thoroughly cleaned. Particular care should be taken with the plug connections and moving parts. Dirt and residue from the last round of golf can accumulate and harden over the months, which can lead to functional problems. Thorough cleaning prevents this and ensures that the trolley is ready for immediate use in spring.
Service check:
Winter offers an ideal opportunity to subject the electric trolley to a comprehensive service check.Professional maintenance ensures that all technical components - from the electronics to the drive units - are in perfect condition. This increases the longevity of the device and avoids unexpected breakdowns during the golf season.
Safe storage:
The storage of the caddy itself should also be well planned. A dry, well-ventilated room is ideal to avoid corrosion and moisture damage. If a protective cover is used, make sure that the caddy is completely dry before it is packed away.These measures will ensure that the electric trolley gets through the winter months in optimum condition and is ready for use again in the spring without any problems.
