(40°C) or below 0°F (-17.8°C).
*Charge the heater battery in a well ventilated location.
*Keep the heater and charger away from water, heat sources
(such as radiators, other heaters, stoves, etc.), flames and /

continuous flash indicating that the battery is charging.
4. The green LED light will stop blinking and turn off when the
battery is fully charged.
5. It takes approximately 5 hours to charge a completely discharged
battery.
6. The heater is designed to operate and charge the battery at the
same time when plugged into a 120V outlet.
7. Mr Heater recommends continuously charging the battery,
between heater uses, for optimal performance. If constant
maintenance charging is not possible, it is recommended that the
battery be fully charged every 3 months. See Maintenance and

8. Low Battery: The heater is equipped with an active battery
monitoring system. When the heater is operating on the
internal battery only, the green LED light on the control panel will
begin to flash when there is approximately 1 hour of operating
time remaining.
9. Low Voltage Shutdown: To prevent battery deep discharge and
prolong battery life, the heater monitors the battery and safely
shuts down when a specified voltage has been reached. The

The battery is a 12-volt sealed lead acid system. There is no
liquid contained within the battery and the heater/battery can
therefore be stored in any position without fear of leakage.
* For optimal performance, the battery should be completely
charged before the heater's initial operation and kept on
constant charge when not in use.
* The battery should be charged in its proper orientation.
* The battery does not need to be fully discharged before
recharging.
* 2 to 3 initial charging cycles may be required after purchase
to achieve maximum run time capacity.
* A fully charged battery can be safely stored down to -17°C
(-0°F).
* The Battery is maintenance free.
* The battery is intended for use in the Mr Heater HERO
heater only and should not be used for any other purpose.
The rBrC™ seal (BaTTerY reCYClInG)
The RBRC™ (Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation) seal
on the lead acid battery (or battery pack) indicates that the
costs to recycle the battery (or battery pack) at the end of its
useful life have been paid by ENERCO GROUP INC. In some
areas, it is illegal to place spent lead acid batteries in the trash or
municipal solid waste stream and the RBRC program provides an
environmentally conscious alternative.
RBRC™ in cooperation with ENERCO GROUP INC and other
battery users, has established programs in the United States and
Canada to facilitate the collection of spent lead acid batteries.
Help protect our environment and conserve natural resources
by returning the lead acid battery to your local retailer
for recycling. You may also contact your local
recycling center for information on where to drop
off the spent battery or call (800)251-0001 x361 1.
