Servicing the Lithium Battery Pack
IMPORTANT
Do not open the lithium battery pack. With the exception of the
battery pack fuse, fuse cover, and labels, there are no consumer
serviceable parts on or in the battery pack. If you open the battery
pack, you will void the warranty. The battery pack is protected by
tamper-alerting devices.
Lithium Battery Pack Care
When mowing, use the InfoCenter on your eFlex to monitor the state of charge
of the lithium battery pack. Consistently operating the machine with a very low
state of charge will adversely affect the life of the battery pack.
If problems with the battery pack exist, an advisory or fault may be identified
on the InfoCenter display. Refer to the
InfoCenter Display (page 5–19)
for
information on advisories and faults.
When finished with machine use for the day, park your eFlex in a clean and dry
garage or storage area that is away from direct sunlight and other heat sources.
Do not store the machine in a location where the battery pack temperature
could rise above 45°C (113°F). If the battery is subjected regularly to excessive
temperatures, the life of the battery pack will be reduced.
Charge the battery pack when you are finished mowing for the day to ensure
that the battery is fully charged for the next mowing. Lithium ion batteries do not
have a charge memory issue and do not need to be fully discharged before
charging them. Ensure that the battery pack is charged with the Toro lithium
battery pack charger that is specifically designed for the eFlex battery pack.
For best battery life, connect the battery pack to the battery charger when the
machine is not in use.
Keep the battery pack cover clean. A dirty cover will increase the heat in the
battery pack and will reduce the energy capacity and life of the battery pack.
The eFlex lithium battery pack includes a fuse for battery circuit protection. For
information on servicing the battery pack fuse, refer to
(For Models 04042, 04043, and 04046) (page 5–43)
.
If the lithium battery pack service is necessary, contact your Toro Distributor
for assistance.
Lithium Battery Pack Storage
If the mower will be stored for more than 10 days, ensure that the battery
is connected to the lithium battery pack charger. If the battery pack is not
connected to the charger during storage, the battery pack life will be reduced.
Do not store the machine in a location where the temperature will drop below
-25°C (-13°F) or rise above 45°C (113°F). Because storage temperature will
affect the life of the battery pack, avoid storing your eFlex in temperatures outside
of this range. Storage for long periods of time at high temperatures will reduce
the life of the battery pack, especially if the pack is stored with a high charge.
Where possible, store the machine in a cool (not below freezing) location.
After 10 days, the charger will enter a storage maintenance mode, adjusting the
battery to a charge of 40% of maximum. This charge level during long term
storage will ensure the full life of the battery. If you do not keep the battery pack
connected to the charger during storage, the high state of charge in the battery
pack will shorten the life of the battery, especially if stored in warm conditions.
