Battery information

•
The battery in your cordless lawnmower
is a sealed lead acid system. The battery
employs an absorbed electrolyte and,
can therefore, be stored in any position
without fear of leakage.
The battery has been charged at the
factory, but you will need to recharge it
for a minimum of 30 hours before every
use to make sure it is fully charged.
•
For optimal performance the battery
should be recharged after each use.
•
For winter storage ensure:
•
The mower is fully charged before
storing.
•
The temperature of the storage
location is below 25˚C.
•
Storage duration is less than
6 months.
•
Always store your mower in a dry and
cool location.
•
Keep the mower and battery away from
water, heat sources (such as radiators,
heaters, stoves etc.), flames or chemicals.
