NewLease of Life
Do you have any old trolley batteries? Is yourcurrent battery struggling to do 18 holes?
Lithium is the best way to go!
Unfortunately lead acid batteries are generallyfilled with recycled lead, and so the life spanis even shorter than ever. Typically, they willlast 12 months, whereas lithium comes with a 5year warranty, so round for round, the lithiumbatteries give a far better return.
As well as this, they are better for yourtrolley - so much lighter and therefore thetrolley uses less energy. Now is the time totake advantage of our latest offer.
Trade in any old trolley battery and we willgive you £25 offa new lithium battery, or £25 off theprice of a new Motocaddy trolley ordered with alithium battery.
