Page 32

Important: If a depleted battery is stored, the battery’s charging capacity might decrease.

Recharging to a Full Charge for Off-Season Storage

When storing the battery for periods up to six months, Country Home Products recommends that you leave the battery connected to the charger. It is important that the battery be stored in a dry location and that the temperature remains between –4°F (–20°C) and +104°F (+40°C).

For off-season storage of the battery, it is important that the battery is fully charged. Consider these facts when choosing your method of storing the battery:

•Leaving the battery with a full charge is the best way to store the battery.

•Over time, batteries will slowly discharge their power.

•You will not damage the battery by leaving it on the charger for an extended period of time (up to six months).

For continued storage of the battery for a period over six months, fully charge the battery, remove it from the charger and store it in a dry and temperate location. If possible, recharge the battery for at least 12 hours every two to three months. When ready to use the Mower again, you should recharge the battery for 12 hours prior to use.

Storage Temperature Range

For superior battery performance, always store the battery in temperatures between –4°F (–20°C) and +104°F (+40°C). Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. The lower the storage temperature is within the specified range, the better: The battery will discharge more slowly at low temperatures.

Caring for the Battery

You can lengthen the life of your battery by following some simple guidelines.

•Always charge the battery indoors in a garage or other covered area where it will be dry and protected from the weather.

•Only charge the battery when the temperature is at least 32°F (0°C) — above freezing — but not more than 104°F (40°C). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the battery.

•Always keep the battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flames, etc.), and hazardous chemicals.

•Always use the NEUTON Mower EM 5.1 Charger to charge your battery; never attempt to use any other charger.. Use of a different charger may cause a fire or explosion.

•Never use the charger with any other product. Never operate the charger if it is damaged. If a cord or the charger unit has been damaged, replace the charger or have it repaired.

•Do not worry about leaving the battery charging for longer than 12 hours — the battery cannot be overcharged and will not be damaged after 12 hours. It will not impact the battery to leave it on the charger for up to six months.
