PROPER CARE FOR BATTERY
Off-season storage
To obtain the longest possible battery life, we suggest the following:
•
Remove the battery pack from the charger once it is fully charged and ready
for use. For battery pack storage longer than 30 days:
•
Store the battery pack where the temperature is below 80° F and away from moisture.
•
Store battery packs in a 30%-50% charged condition.
•
Every two months of storage, charge the pack as normal.
CHARGER SAFETY RULES
•
Charge the mower battery in a dry area that is protected from the weather. Do not
expose the mower or the charger to rain. Do not charge the battery in a wet location.
Operate the battery charger in temperatures between 45° and 104° F. In order to
reduce the risk of electric shock, use only the charger that is provided by the
manufacturer to charge the battery.
•
DO NOT ABUSE THE CHARGE CORD. Never carry the charger by the cord. Do
not disconnect the charger from the outlet or from the mower by pulling the charger
cord.
•
Do not use a damaged charger. Replace the charger cords or the charger
immediately.
•
Keep the mower and the charger away from water, heat sources (radiators, heaters,
stoves,etc.), flames, and chemicals.
•
Make sure the battery pack is secured in the charger before beginning operation.
•
The battery pack will become slightly warm to the touch while charging. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
•
Do not place the charger and battery pack in an area of extreme heat or cold. They
will work best at normal room temperature.
•
When batteries become fully charged, unplug the charger from the power supply and
remove the battery pack.
