Powakaddy FW3 Instruction Manual

Other Useful Inform ation:
Chargers have two l ights (can be combined in one bulb), when connecting a discharge d battery red/amber will illumina te, the light will turn green during the charging cycle, this does not mean the charge ha s finished, the battery must remain on charge for a minimum of 12 Hours.
Batteries can sometimes take 2-3 rounds of golf before they become fully ‘activated’. We have found that on rare occasions there is not enough capacity to complete a full round of golf. Our advice is to play only 9 holes on the their first outing.
Check with y our airline before a ttempting to transpo rt by air.
If you have a golf trolley batte ry that you would li ke to use with the n ew Plug’n’Play batte ry system you can pu rchase a fitting kit and case. The kit requires some DIY but will c onvert your existing battery into a conv ienient Plug’n’Play battery for use with our new system.
Do Not:
Expose the charger to rain, moisture or damp, if you suspect any of these have occurred then do not use the charger.
Wrap or cover the charger, as chargers generate heat in use.
Use the charger or battery if the leads, contacts or casi ngs are damaged.

Submerge the lithium battery in water, or deliberate ly spray with water or other liquid s. To clean use a li ghtly dampened cloth .

Additional information: Please refer to the product labels on your battery and charger. Recycling and disposal: At the end of the battery’s life dispose at your local recycling centre.
*In normal conditions the Extended batteries will do 36 holes when used on a PowaKaddy trolley. Conditions such as long or exceptionally hilly courses, wet ground conditions and excessively heavy golf bags may reduce the range of the battery. Always fully recharge this battery regardless of the number of holes played. Most lead acid batteries reach the end of their life in the second or third season and often without any apparent reason. Very hot or cold weather does not help. Even batteries that are treated identically have dierent life spans. Please note the Extended lead acid battery is not available on the Plug’n’Play system although an adaptor plate is provided.
