Charging and battery care
Electric buggies are simple to live with. They charge from an ordinary socket, run all day on a single charge and, with a few easy habits, the lithium battery stays healthy for years.
Plug in overnight, ready every morning
There is no special infrastructure to arrange before an electric buggy earns its keep. Every model charges from a standard 13A domestic socket, typically overnight, so the vehicle is full and ready at the start of each day. Lithium batteries do the hard work quietly: more usable range than older lead-acid packs, faster charging and a far longer life. Look after the battery with a few simple habits and it will look after you for years.
No special installation required
Plug into a normal 13A socket and the vehicle charges overnight, ready for a full day's use. There is no need for a dedicated charger or electrical work before you start, which makes an electric buggy far easier to adopt than many expect. Where a quicker turnaround matters, a fast-charge upgrade is available.
More usable range, far longer life
Lithium batteries deliver more of their rated range in the real world, charge more quickly and last considerably longer than lead-acid. They also need no topping up with water and hold voltage better as they discharge, so performance stays consistent through the day rather than fading towards the end.
Lithium vs lead-acid
A few habits, years of healthy range
Charge after use rather than running the pack flat, keep the vehicle on charge when it is stored for long periods and avoid extremes of heat where you can. None of it is demanding, and all of it is set out plainly at handover. Do these simple things and the battery holds its capacity well beyond the warranty period.
Easy to charge, easy to look after
Standard socket
Charges from an ordinary 13A supply, no dedicated charger or wiring needed to begin.
All-day range
A full charge covers a comfortable day for most owners, with capacity to spare.
Consistent power
Lithium holds voltage as it discharges, so performance stays steady to the end of the day.
Clean and quiet
No fumes, no engine noise and no fuel to store, so the vehicle suits sensitive settings.
Low upkeep
No water top-ups and no carburettor to fuss over, just plug in and go.
Built to last
Cared for simply, the pack holds healthy range well beyond the warranty term.
Four habits that keep range healthy
Charge after use
Top up at the end of the day rather than running the battery flat. Lithium prefers regular, partial charging to deep discharges.
Use the right supply
A standard 13A socket is all you need. Use the supplied charger and let it complete its cycle overnight.
Store on charge
If the vehicle is parked for a long spell, keep it connected so the pack stays in good health while it waits.
Mind the extremes
Avoid leaving the vehicle in prolonged extreme heat where you can. Sensible storage protects long-term capacity.

How far will it go on a charge?+
Indicatively between around 43 and 56 miles depending on the model and specification. Real-world range depends on terrain, load and driving style, and we confirm the figure for your configuration.
How long does a full charge take?+
Most owners charge overnight from empty to full. Where a quicker turnaround is needed, a fast-charge upgrade is available and specified at order.
How long will the battery last?+
Lithium batteries are designed to hold their capacity for years and, cared for with a few simple habits, comfortably outlast the warranty period.
Do I need to maintain the battery?+
Very little. Unlike lead-acid, lithium needs no water top-ups. Charge after use, store on charge for long periods and avoid extreme heat, and the pack stays healthy.
Can I install a faster charger?+
Yes, a fast-charge upgrade is available where quicker turnaround matters, for example busy hire or shuttle use. We specify it as part of your build.
