NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 25
Recharging to a Full Charge for Off-Season
Storage
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 leave the mower in storage for the entire
off-season (up to 6 or 7 months) without adversely effecting the battery — provided the storage
temperature 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 before first using the mower next season.
The method most likely to contribute to a long battery life is to recharge for at least 12 hours about
once every three or four months during off-season storage.
Leaving a battery charging for weeks at a time, or even for the entire off-season, will not damage the
charger, the battery, or the mower. Leaving a battery charging for this long, however, is not as good
for the battery life as periodic recharging.
Storage Temperature Range
For superior battery performance, 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 low temperatures.
For more information on storing your mower, see “Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing your
NEUTON Mower.”
Disposing of the Battery
Important: Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous
materials regulations.
