um-ion batteries which must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Local, state or federal laws may prohibit disposal of these batteries in
the municipal solid waste or rural trash pick up systems.
The RBRC seal on the Li-Ion battery pack indicates that the cost to recycle the battery pack at the end of its useful life has already
been paid by The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company. It is illegal to place spent Li-Ion batteries in the local
municipal solid waste or in the trash. RBRC in cooperation with The Great States Corporation/American Lawn Mower Company has
provided an environmentally friendly and easy way to recycle spent Li-Ion batteries. Just contact your local recycling center or call

CHARGING THE BATTERY PACK

Model TC70020
When fully charged, the battery can be safely stored in
temperatures down to -4 degrees F for a period of up to four
weeks, before requiring charging. Fully charge battery pack
every 90 days.
If over a period of time the battery pack quickly runs down
after a full 60 minutes charging period, a replacement battery
pack is needed.
To prevent permanent damage to the battery, never store in a
discharged condition.
WINTER STORAGE - Fully recharge before storage and then
again every 90 days.
Since the battery will not develop a memory, it does not have
to be fully discharged before recharging.
A small leakage of liquid from the battery cells may occur
under extreme usage, charging or temperature conditions.
This does not indicate a failure. However, if the outer seal is
broken and this leakage gets on your skin.
a. Wash quickly with soap and water.
b. Neutralize with a mild acid such as lemon juice or
vinegar.
c. If the battery liquid gets in your eyes, flush them with
clean water for a minimum of 10 minutes and seek immediate
medical attention.
