summary of how to store your LiFePO4 Battery:
· Recommended storage temperature: -5 to +35°C (23 to 95 °F)
· Storage up to 1 month: -20 to +60°C (4 to 140 °F)
· Storage up to 3 months: -10 to +35°C (14 to 95 °F)
· Extended storage time: +15 to +35°C (59 to 95 °F)
It is highly recommended to store lithium batteries indoor during the off season.
Don’t put it on concrete or metal surface. Disconnect from equipment and charger.
It will be good for long term till next golf season.
LiFePO4 batteries have a low self-discharge rate of 2% a month. This means that
when a lithium Battery is stored, it’ll lose 2% of its charge capacity every month. In
order to prevent a higher rate of discharge, we recommend disconnecting all power
draw from your batteries. When you store LiFePO4 batteries, it is important that you
store them with a state of charge (SOC) of 50% or higher. A higher state of charge is
recommended when storing for an extended period of me. If you want the Battery to
retain a good level of charge after the storage period is over, you should charge
them to 100% and store them in that fully charged state.
• Replacement batteries are available from your authorized EPG Golf dealer, or from
EPG Golf directly. You can also order online at:

3.5.3. Battery Charging Instructions for SLA (Sealed Lead-Acid) Batteries
3.5.3.1. Please do not charge the battery in a sealed container or in upside down position.
It is recommended to charge the battery at a well-ventilated area.
3.5.3.2. Connect the battery cable plug to the charger and then plug the charger into an
electrical outlet.
3.5.3.3. During the charging cycle the LED on the charger will show a red steady light (or
blink red/green light). Once the charging cycle is complete, the red light will turn into a
steady green light.
3.5.3.4. The charging cycle can last up to 12 hours depending on the level of discharge.
3.5.3.5. Normally the battery will hold its charge for several months, and it does not have a
“memory effect”, and therefore can be recharged at any discharge level. It is
recommended to not fully discharge the battery, as this will shorten battery life drastically.
The battery has a normal lifespan of approximately 100-150 charges, depending on
charging frequency, storage conditions, and time and discharge history, which could
reduce this lifetime.
3.5.3.5. In order to prolong the service life of the battery, please AVOID full discharge,
charge the battery after every use and KEEP THE BATTERY FULLY CHARGED. When the
battery is not in use for an extended period of time, it is recommended to charge the
battery once a month.
