Recharging to a Full Charge for Off-SeasonStorage
Always charge the battery fully before putting it away during the off-season. After charging the
battery fully (at least 12 hours of charging), you can leav e the mower in storage for the entire
off-season (up to 6 or 7 months) without adversely eff ecting the battery — provided the storage
temperatur e is between – 4°F (–20°C) and +104°F (+40°C).
The NEUTON’s battery will discharge much less than conventional lead acid batteries. Nonetheless,
remember to give the battery a full charge befor e first using the mower next season.
The method most likely to contribute to a long ba ttery life is to recharge for at least 12 hours about
once every three or f our months during off-season storage.
Leaving a batter y charging for weeks at a time, or even for the entire off-season, will not damage the
charger, the batter y, or the mower.Lea ving a battery charging for this long, however,is not as g ood
for the battery life as periodic recharging.

Storage Temperature Range

For superior battery perfor mance, always store the mower 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 lo w temperatures.

Disposing of the Battery
Important: Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous
materials regulations.
