Battery Care (For Electric-Starting Models Only)

Proper care can extend the life of a battery. Follow these recommendations to ensure your battery’s best performance and long life:

Do not allow the battery charge to get too low. If the machine is not used, the battery should be charged every 4 – 6 weeks.

Store an unused battery in a dry area that does not freeze.

Do not charge an already charged battery. In theory, our battery cannot be overcharged with a trickle charger; however, when a battery is fully charged and the charger is still on, it generates heat that could be harmful to the battery. A fully charged battery will read 12V-13.2V with a voltmeter.

Do not continue to crank your engine when the battery charge is low.

Charging the Battery

If the battery loses its charge, you'll need to use a trickle charger (like the DR® Battery Charger) to recharge it. The charger should have an output of 12 volts at no more than 6-8 amps.

At 1 amp the battery may need to be charged for as long as 48 hours. At 2 amps, the battery may need to be charged for as long as 24 hours. At 6-8 amps the battery will be charged in 2 to 3 hours.

WARNING! At 6-8 amps a battery can overcharge, overheat and potentially leak acid. Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.

Note: Using the recoil starter and then running the engine will not recharge a dead or significantly discharged battery.
