Depending on the protection, 16 to 32 charging lockers can be connected to an existing socket on site via a plug-in cable.

The invention specified in the protection claim is based on the problem that in many golf clubs the capacity of the caddy rooms is exhausted by the standards of previous locker systems. Members' wishes to store their electric caddies in the club can no longer be satisfied, since all locker systems currently available on the market require a relatively large amount of space.

Electric caddies can be stored in existing, non-electrified caddie cabinets when folded up.

The invention means that the owners of such caddy cabinets no longer have to take the battery of their electric caddy home with them to charge it. It can now be charged in the club and safely stored together with the charger.

The invention specified in the protection claim also solves the problem that exists in many golf clubs where there is currently no locker system in the caddy rooms: All equipment is freely accessible and therefore unprotected from access by third parties.

The charging locker is particularly suitable for preventing theft or mix-ups. Every club member can use a charging locker to ensure the safe storage of the battery and charger in a small space and in a lockable manner.

The invention creates lockable and secure options for storing and charging batteries and chargers in the golf club, all on a very small footprint. Golfers who previously had to take their equipment home with them or whose equipment was unprotected from third-party access can now not only charge the battery in the golf club, but also store it safely together with the charger.

The invention specified in the protection claim also solves the problem that exists in many golf hotels. Golfing guests who use an electric caddie have to recharge the battery of the caddie after each round. In the absence of other options, the batteries are usually brought into the

Took it into a hotel room and left it there to charge, while the electric caddy remained in the car.

As the battery gets dirty through use, the dirt is carried throughout the hotel and the rooms are soiled. Carrying the heavy battery is also a burden for golfers.

The invention enables lockable and secure options to be created in a suitable location in the hotel for storing and charging the battery and charger, using very little floor space. Golfers who previously had to take their equipment with them to their room can now not only charge the battery in the golf hotel, but also store it safely together with the charger.

An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figures 1 to 3. They show:

Figure 1:

In a modular arrangement, lockable storage options for twelve batteries with chargers are created in a block of twelve charging lockers on a floor space of just approx. 0.21 m ² (82.5cm x 25cm). This means that twelve owners of electric caddies can store their battery with charger in the golf club or golf hotel. They do not have to take the battery home with them after each use, or they have a safe place for their battery with charger, which makes theft or other access by third parties very unlikely, or they do not have to take their battery with them to the hotel room. The block size of twelve charging lockers is purely random. Any other denomination is possible.

Figure 2:

Figure 2 shows an empty, single charging locker opened. A damp-proof socket is installed inside so that the charger can be connected. The charging locker can be used with or without an intermediate floor. This means that the charging locker can easily accommodate practically all commercially available charger and battery models. It is therefore universally applicable.
