Maintaining the Lithium-Ion
Batteries
WARNING
The batteries contain high voltage, which
could burn or electrocute you.
• Do not attempt to open the batteries.
• Use extreme care when handling a battery
with a cracked case.
• Use only the charger designed for the
batteries.
To achieve maximum life and use from your batteries,
follow these guidelines:
•
Do not open the battery. There are no user
serviceable parts inside. If you open the pack,
you will void your warranty . The batteries are
protected by tamper-alerting devices.
•
Store/park the machine in a clean, dry garage or
storage area, away from direct sunlight, heat
sources, rain, and wet conditions. Refer to the
table below for temperature requirements for
storage.
Important:
Temperatures outside of this range
will damage your batteries.
High temperatures during storage, especially
at a high state of charge, reduces the life of
the batteries.
Temperature Requirements for Storage
Storage Conditions
Normal storage conditions
Extreme heat—1 month or

Transporting the
Lithium-Ion Batteries
The US Department of Transportation and
international transportation authorities require that
lithium-ion batteries be transported using special
packaging and only be transported by carriers certified
to haul them. In the US, you are allowed to transport
a battery when it is installed on the machine as
battery powered equipment, with some regulatory
requirements. Contact the US Department of
Transportation or the appropriate government body in
your country for detailed regulations on transportation
of your batteries or the machine with the batteries
equipped.
For detailed information on shipping a battery, contact
your authorized Toro distributor.
