RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
BATTERY CHARGE INDICATOR
A battery charge indicator is located on the control panel. The flashing LED indicates the battery is charging. A continuous LED indicates the battery is fully charged.
A battery may last much longer if it is charged as soon as it starts to loose power and is not discharged completely.
Charging the Battery while in the Mower
1.Make sure all four wheels of mower are touching the ground .
2.Remove key.
3.Plug the mower into a wall outlet.
4.Select charge on the control panel.
A full charge takes at least 10 hours, and up to 24 hours (for aging batteries). For the first five hours, the optional second charger will be warm to the touch. This is normal and does not indicate a problem.
IMPORTANT: Always keep the battery in a dry place.
CARING FOR THE BATTERY
WARNING
AlwaysusetheRemingtonbrand charger to charge the battery. Never attempt to use any other charger. Use of a different char- ger may cause a fire or explosion and will void the warranty.
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 tem- perature 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 bat- tery.
•Always keep the battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flames, etc.), and hazardous chemicals.
•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 by a qualified service center.
•Do not worry about leaving the battery charging for longer than 10 hours – the battery cannot be overcharged and will not be damaged after 10 hours. It will not impact the battery to leave it on the charger for up to six months.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY AFTER EACH USE
Always fully recharge the battery immediately after each use, no matter how short a time it was used. Fully recharge even if the green LED lights on the battery power indicator are still green. This is important in order to maintain maximum mower performance and extend the useful life of the battery. If the red LED comes on while using the mower, stop the mower and either replace the battery with an optional backup battery or recharge the battery completely.
Unlike “smart batteries” found in devices such as cell phones, the Remington brand bat- tery should NOT be run until it is completely drained. Running the battery until it is fully depleted will reduce the
Leaving the battery on the charger for an extended period of time (up to six months) will not damage the battery. It is impossible to overcharge the battery.
IMPORTANT: If a depleted battery is stored, the battery’s charging capacity will decrease.
