JUGS Pitching Machine Rechargeable Battery Pack for Lite-Flite and Small-Ball

The JUGS Pitching Machine Rechargeable Battery Pack lets you run a JUGS Lite-Flite or JUGS Small-Ball pitching machine anywhere, with no outlet and no long cord stretched across the field. It powers a Lite-Flite machine for up to 3 hours or a Small-Ball machine for up to 4 hours, recharges in two hours, and comes self-contained in a heavy-duty nylon carrying case. For baseball families, coaches, and teams who want machine work at the park, the practice field, or the far corner of the backyard, it turns a plug-in machine into a portable one.

Up to 4 Hours of Cordless Baseball Practice

Runtime depends on which machine you connect. A Lite-Flite machine runs for up to 3 hours of continuous use on a full charge, and a Small-Ball machine runs for up to 4 hours. Either figure covers a full team practice or several back-to-back batting practice sessions without stopping to hunt for power.

That changes where a machine can go. A youth baseball team running stations at a park field can keep a machine throwing through the whole practice, and a parent and player can get through multiple hitting rounds in the backyard before the pack needs to go back on the charger.

Recharges in Two Hours

A fully drained pack recharges in two hours, which keeps downtime between sessions short. A pack that ran a morning practice can be back to full well before an afternoon or evening session. The charger is rated for 100 to 240 volt input at 50 or 60 hertz.

Built to Travel to the Field

Everything is self-contained in a heavy-duty nylon carrying case, and the whole unit weighs 17 lbs, so one person can carry it from the car to the dugout or out to the cage along with the machine. The case protects the pack during transport and keeps the system in one easy-to-grab package.

A 32 inch extension cord is included, giving you some flexibility in where the pack sits relative to the machine. Set it off to the side, out of the path of batted balls and out of the way of the person feeding the machine.

How the JUGS Battery Pack Works

Inside the case is a rechargeable 12 volt, 18 amp-hour sealed lead-acid battery paired with a 150 watt inverter. The inverter turns the battery’s stored power into 120 volt alternating current (AC) at 60 hertz, the same type of power these machines draw from a wall outlet. That is what lets a Lite-Flite or Small-Ball machine run from the pack in places where there is no outlet at all.

Which JUGS Pitching Machines It Runs

This battery pack is for use only with two JUGS throwing machines:

• The JUGS Lite-Flite Pitching Machine, up to 3 hours per charge
• The JUGS Small-Ball Pitching Machine, up to 4 hours per charge

It will not run the JUGS BP1, BP2, BP3, SP3, MVP, Changeup, or Combo pitching machines. Those machines need a larger power source, such as the JUGS Complete Practice Battery Pack or a Yamaha EF2000iS inverter generator. If one of those is your machine, this is not the right pack, and it should not be connected to other equipment.

Who This Battery Pack Is For

• Lite-Flite and Small-Ball owners who practice at fields without power
• Youth baseball coaches who run machine stations at the park
• Backyard players whose hitting area sits far from an outlet
• High school and college programs that want a portable machine setup for drills away from the main cage

Getting the Most From Each Charge

• Charge the pack fully before heading to the field so you start with the full runtime.
• Put it back on the charger after each session so it is ready for the next one.
• Turn the machine off between rounds when nobody is hitting to stretch practice time.
• Route the extension cord along the ground away from where players walk and field.
• Bring enough balls that the machine never waits: Lite-Flite baseballs for the Lite-Flite machine or Small-Ball practice baseballs for the Small-Ball machine.
