FAQs

A: Lithium batteries provide numerous benefits, including:

- No maintenance: Eliminates the need for watering or acid level checks.
- Lightweight design: Approximately one-third the weight of lead-acid counterparts.
- Faster charging times: Reduces downtime between uses.
- Extended run times: Depending on the battery pack size.
- Longer lifespan: Typically lasts three times longer than lead-acid batteries.
- Safe storage: Can be left unused for extended periods without degradation.

A: Yes. Hornet Energy USA utilizes Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cells, known for their stability and safety. Additionally, our batteries are equipped with advanced Battery Management Systems (BMS) to ensure optimal operation within designed parameters.

A: The number of rounds varies based on terrain and battery capacity. Generally:

- 105Ah battery: Approximately 54 holes, including travel to and from the course.

A: For optimal charging:

- Up to 15 feet: Use a 12–14 AWG cord.
- Up to 25 feet: Use a 10–12 AWG cord.
- Over 25 feet: Not recommended due to potential voltage drop.

A: Essential components include:

- Hornet Energy USA lithium battery.
- Compatible battery charger.
- SOC monitor for battery status.
- 200 Amp Solenoid.

A: Yes. Lithium batteries require a compatible lithium charger. Using a lead-acid charger is not recommended.

A: We sell our products through a network of authorized dealers. Please use our dealer locator to find the nearest dealer to you.

A: Due to their weight (over 70 lbs), our batteries are shipped via Less Than Truckload (LTL) freight. Shipping to commercial locations with a forklift is preferred. Residential deliveries may incur additional fees, especially if a lift gate is required.

A: No. Our batteries exceed the weight limit for standard parcel shipping and must be shipped via LTL freight.

A: Charging time depends on the battery size and charger used, but lithium batteries generally charge faster than lead-acid batteries.

A: Clean the battery using a damp cloth. Avoid using chemicals or pressure washers, as they can damage the battery and void the warranty.

A: Our batteries are designed to operate in a wide range of temperatures. However:

- Cold conditions: Discharge is possible down to approximately -20°F, but charging is not recommended below 32°F.
- Hot conditions: Batteries can operate in ambient temperatures up to 115°F.

A: Our batteries can be connected in parallel to increase capacity. However, do not connect them in series. Always consult our wiring diagrams or contact support for guidance.
