B Charger Off-Season Storage

1.  Do not expose your battery pack or charger to water, 

rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently 

damage the charger and the battery pack. Do not use oil 

or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery pack as the 

plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a 

serious risk of injury.

2.  Store the battery pack and charger at room temperature 

away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where 

corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery 

pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack 

is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures 

(over 120ºF/49ºC).

3.  EcoSharp

®

 iBAT40 lithium-ion battery packs maintain 

their charge during storage longer than other battery 

pack types. As a general practice, it is best to unplug the 

battery charger and remove the battery pack when they 

are not in use. Recharge the battery pack every 6 months 

to 50% capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to 

maintain optimal battery performance.

 Ensure that the wheels are set to the 

transport position (see Fig. 9, pg. 11).

Always carry the product by its transport handle.

•  If you are transporting the cultivator in a vehicle, 

brace it properly to protect it from heavy impact or strong
