Chapter 5:

Charging and Caring for the Battery



BEFORE CHARGING THE BATTERY, READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND CAUTIONARY MARKINGS IN THIS
MANUAL AND ON YOUR MOWER. DO NOT OPERATE YOUR MOWER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND THE BATTERY IS FULLY CHARGED.

The Battery

The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery
is 36 volts and rated at 10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it
is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely” in Chapter 2 for additional information.

The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. However, as with all
rechargeable Batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement. With proper care, this
Battery should last up to five (5) years. Please refer to “Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your
NEUTON Mower” for more information.



NEVER ATTEMPT TO ALTER OR OPEN THE BATTERY.



Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60)
minutes per use. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass. If you
generally intend to use your Mower and Trimmer for a longer duration, Neuton, Inc. recommends that
you purchase an extra Battery. That way, you could have a second fully charged Battery ready so you
can continue mowing.


It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.


A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it
completely discharge. You should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery.



PERIODICALLY INSPECT THE CORDS ON THE CHARGER UNIT AND THE HANDLEBAR FOR DAMAGE. IF
DAMAGE OCCURS, DO NOT USE THE MOWER UNTIL THE CORDS HAVE BEEN REPLACED OR REPAIRED.
