This is an overview of the power consumption of Tagmarshal Two-Way screens when installed on both gas and electric golf carts. It details the current draw across different operating states and explains the impact on cart batteries.
1. Booting Up
Peak Current Draw: 8” – 1.2 A | 10” – 1.3 A
Duration: Brief period during startup
2. In Use
Nominal Current Draw: 8” – 0.6 A | 10” – 0.5 A
Duration: While the screen is actively in use
3. Standby Mode
Current Draw: 8” – 0.3 A | 10” – 0.1 A
Duration: When the screen is on but not actively in use
Gas Carts (12V Batteries)
Connection: Screens are powered via a switched supply, controlled by the ignition key.
Purpose: Prevents current draw when the cart is off, eliminating the risk of battery drain.
Electric Carts (Lead Acid or Lithium Batteries)
Connection: Screens are connected to a permanent supply.
Purpose: These batteries are recharged daily, ensuring sufficient replenishment and avoiding any operational impact.
For perspective, a typical USB phone charger draws around 2 A when in use. This is significantly higher than the draw of Tagmarshal screens:
Two-Way Screen (In Use): ~0.6 A
USB Phone Charger: ~2 A
The Tagmarshal Two Way screens have been designed with energy efficiency in mind:
Minimal to no measurable impact on battery health
No significant battery drain across operating modes
Fully compliant with typical battery warranty terms
Tagmarshal Two-Way screens are engineered to operate safely and efficiently with both gas and electric golf cart batteries. With low current draw and appropriate power supply configurations, they function well within safe operating limits, ensuring no compromise to battery performance or lifespan.
