Please dispose of used batteries responsibly, according to your local hazardous materials regulations. Never throw away used
batteries in your household trash.
When you are finished charging the battery, disconnect the charger from the outlet first, then disconnect the battery charger
wires from the battery. If you leave the battery charger wires connected to the battery, the battery will discharge itself back into
the charger.
Typically, the Battery takes between 6 and 8 hours to fully charge. Do not leave the charger on the battery longer than 24 hours
for a 2 amp charger, or 48 hours for a 1 amp charger as you could potentially damage the battery..
You can charge the Battery many times. The Battery lasts longer if you charge it before it is fully drained. Keep it fully charged
and at room temperature when not using your DR TRIMMER/MOWER.
If the Battery does not hold its charge for very long under normal conditions or it simply won’t hold a charge, then replace it.
You can purchase replacement Batteries directly from us.
