Battery Storage - Toro Workman MDE 2008 Service Manual

Battery Storage

If the vehicle will be stored for any period of time, check
battery electrolyte level, adjust level if needed and then
connect battery charger to vehicle. Allow charger to re-
main connected to vehicle during storage to prevent bat-
tery discharge and potential battery damage.
Electrical System
If the vehicle will be stored for more than 30 days and the
battery charger cannot be used for some reason, charge
the batteries fully. Either store batteries on a shelf or in
the vehicle. Store the batteries in a cool atmosphere to
avoid quick deterioration of the charge in the batteries.
To prevent batteries from freezing, make sure they are
fully charged before storage. During the storage period,
charge the batteries at least once every three (3)
months to prevent battery damage. Before returning the
vehicle to service, make sure to fully charge the batter-
ies.
