Posted by PS on 22nd Jan 2025

Maximizing Safety and Performance with the Pro-Guide Lithium Golf Line

The Pro-Guide Lithium Golf Line, including the 48V 105Ah Lithium Golf Bundle, is engineered for high-performance and reliability, making it the go-to choice for powering your golf cart or other equipment. Its advanced lithium technology ensures longer run times, faster charging, and greater durability compared to traditional batteries.

However, with great power comes the responsibility of proper usage and safety precautions. To ensure your battery operates efficiently and safely, always follow these guidelines:

  • Installation and Setup: Place the battery in a clean, dry, and secure location. Use only the chargers specifically recommended by Pro-Guide Batteries to avoid damaging the battery or voiding the warranty.
  • Handling and Maintenance: Avoid exposing the battery to physical impact, extreme temperatures, or moisture. Regularly inspect and clean the battery terminals to prevent corrosion and ensure solid connections.
  • Storage and Transport: Store the battery at a 50-70% charge level in a cool, dry location when not in use. Follow all local regulations for transporting and disposing of lithium batteries to minimize environmental impact.

These best practices not only ensure the longevity of your battery but also safeguard your equipment and enhance user safety.


Understanding the PGLG SOC Warnings

The Pro-Guide Lithium Golf Line features built-in safety measures to alert you to potential issues via State of Charge (SOC) warnings. These warnings help prevent damage to the battery and protect your equipment. Below is an overview of the 11 SOC warnings:

1. WARNING2: Cell Low Voltage Alarm

  • Cause: A single cell's voltage has dropped below the safe operating range.
  • Alarm: 1-second beep, 1-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

2. WARNING2: Cell Low Voltage Protection

  • Cause: Protective measures activate when cell voltage is critically low.
  • Alarm: 0.2-second beep, 0.2-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

3. WARNING4: Pack Low Voltage Alarm

  • Cause: The overall battery pack voltage has dropped below the safe threshold.
  • Alarm: 1-second beep, 1-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

4. WARNING4: Pack Low Voltage Protection

  • Cause: Protective measures activate to prevent damage when the pack voltage is critically low.
  • Alarm: 0.2-second beep, 0.2-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

5. WARNING8: Over Temperature Alarm

  • Cause: The battery temperature exceeds safe operational limits.
  • Alarm: 1-second beep, 1-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

6. WARNING8: Over Temperature Protection

  • Cause: Protective measures activate when battery temperature reaches a critical level.
  • Alarm: 0.2-second beep, 0.2-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

7. WARNING9: Low Temperature Alarm

  • Cause: The battery temperature is too low for safe operation.
  • Alarm: 1-second beep, 1-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

8. WARNING9: Low Temperature Protection

  • Cause: Protective measures activate when the battery temperature drops to critical levels.
  • Alarm: 0.2-second beep, 0.2-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the battery is charging.

9. WARNING11: Low SOC (11–20%)

  • Cause: The battery’s State of Charge is low, between 11% and 20%.
  • Alarm: 1-second beep, 1-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the SOC gauge confirms SOC or when charging.

10. WARNING11: Low SOC (0–10%)

  • Cause: The battery’s State of Charge is critically low, between 0% and 10%.
  • Alarm: 0.2-second beep, 0.2-second stop.
  • Remarks: No warning when the SOC gauge confirms SOC or when charging.
