Was using my pure freedom trolley the other day and just went off on its own twice. Thought nothing of it .Then the day first house did the back and then went round the front and it had switched itself of and it wouldn't come back .Back home put it on charge and it was 12.4 so fully charge and away it went used for a few hours and seemed okay ,It will be about three years old .Any ideas what it could be ,Cheers

 
I actually don't like these modern controllers. The one that came with my new freedom trolley in 2015 was a right pain. It was too unresponsive for my liking. Always lagging. I was told this was normal due to a four second current sensing cycle in the electronics. I put up with it till I replaced the battery with a new one and it through a wobbly. Like yours it wouldn't stay turned on. Just kept shutting down. I still had my plain old PWM controller from before that with no auto cal or volt meter. I put that on and it's been absolutely perfect. Gives instant response and still works perfect after 9 years.

I would say battery is knackered. They can be temperamental if one of the cells has failed. (Assuming you have checked for loose connections)

 
Checked the battery ok and wire okay .

Then looked very closely at the red wire connected to the battery and was only connected by a few of the wires

Reconnected it job done and sorted . Cheers guys
