How many holes?

A common question that we are asked is 'how many holes will a battery last?'

 

The problem with the question is that 18 holes is not a reliable measurement, more a 'how long is a piece of string' sort of question. 18 holes can mean 5000 yards on a flat course with a light bag, or 8500 yards on a very hilly course on a wet day with 500 yard walk between holes and a fully loaded golf bag.

 

The battery supplied with your Stewart is guaranteed to last for 18 holes in a 'worst case' scenario as described above. We know from our own experience (and those of our customers) that it is wholly possible that you will complete more than 18 holes with your battery, however if you regularly play more than 18 holes in a day, we recommend that you purchase an additional battery.

 

There are lots of ways that you can conserve battery power on the golf course:

• Try to drive the cart in as straight a line as possible and don't 'zig-zag' up the fairways.
• Use as light a bag as possible.
• If you are playing a long days golf and only have one battery, you can save a significant amount of energy by using the steering function sparingly and instead steering the cart like a conventional trolley by using the handle.
• Don't let the cart 'drag' you up hills as this will increase power consumption.
• Try to keep the cart on the short grass of a fairway, rather than the longer grass of the rough.
