Caring for the Lithium-Ion Batteries (Model 04590) (continued)
Keep the battery covers clean. A dirty battery cover will increase the heat in the
battery and will reduce the energy capacity and life of the battery.
Storing the Lithium-Ion Batteries (Model 04590)
If the mower will be stored for more than 10 days, ensure that the machine is
connected to the lithium-ion battery charger. If the battery is not connected to the
charger during storage, the battery life may 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 the machine 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.
Shipping and Transporting the Lithium-Ion Batteries (Model 04590)
The US Department of Transportation and international transportation authorities
require that lithium-ion batteries be shipped using special packaging and only be
handled by carriers certified to haul them. Use the original packaging whenever
possible when shipping lithium-ion batteries in the USA. If the original packaging
is damaged or not available, use a Battery Shipping Kit; refer to
Battery Shipping Kit (page 2–14)
. Contact the appropriate government body in
your country for detailed regulations on shipping the lithium-ion batteries.
In the USA, you are allowed to transport the battery when it is installed on the
machine as battery powered equipment, with some regulatory requirements.
Contact US Department of Transportation or the appropriate government body
in your country for detailed regulations on transporting a machine with lithium
batteries installed.
IMPORTANT
Ship a lithium-ion battery in its original packaging or a specially
designed Battery Shipping Kit. Failure to ship a lithium-ion battery
correctly may result in substantial penalties.
