Caring for the Battery

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

Always charge the Battery inside 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 32ºF (0ºC) – above freezing – but not
more than 104ºF (40ºC). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the Battery.

Always keep the Battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flame, etc.), and
hazardous chemicals.

Always use the NEUTON Mower CE 6.2 Charger to charge the Battery; never attempt to use any
other Charger. Use of a different Charger may cause a fire or explosion.

Never use the Charger on any other product. Never operate a damaged Charger. If there is
damage to a cord or the Charger Unit, replace the Charger or have it repaired.

Do not worry about leaving the Battery charging for longer than eight (8) hours – you cannot
overcharge the Battery and will not cause damage after eight (8) hours. It will not impact the
Battery to leave it on the Charger for up to six (6) months.

When storing the Battery after removing it from the Mower, follow the storage guidelines in
“Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your NEUTON Mower”.

For long-term storage, please see “Recharging to Full Charge for Off-Season Storage” on page 30.

If the Motor will not run after you have fully charged the Battery, consult the techniques in “Chapter
8: Troubleshooting Tips”. If you still need help, visit our website at
