problem.
Storage Temperature Range
For superior battery performance, always store the battery in temperatures between
–4°F (–20°C) and +104°F
(+40°C).Make sure the storage temperatures will never be outside these limits. The lower the storage
temperature is within the specified range, the better: The battery will discharge more slowly at low temperatures.
Caring for the Battery
You can lengthen the life of your battery by following some simple guidelines.
Always charge the battery indoors in a garage or other covered area where it will be dry and protected from
the weather.
Only charge the battery when the temperature is at least 41°F (5°C)
— above freezing — but not more than
95°F (35°C).Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the battery.
Always keep the battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flames, etc.), and
hazardous chemicals.
Only use the supplied battery charger to charge your battery; never attempt to use any other charger. Use of
a different charger may cause a fire or explosion.
Never use the charger with any other product. Never operate the charger if it is damaged. If a cord or the
charger unit has been damaged, replace the charger.
When storing the battery after removing it from the mower, follow the storage guidelines in
―Maintaining and
