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 32ºF (0ºC) – above freezing – but not
more than 104ºF (40ºC). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the Battery.
• Always keep the Battery away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flame, etc.), and
hazardous chemicals.
• Use only an approved 24-Volt NEUTON Charger to charge the Battery. Make sure that the NEUTON
Charger output voltage printed on the Charger label matches the voltage of your Battery. Use of a
different Charger may not allow the Battery to fully recharge and may cause a fire or explosion.
Use of a non-approved NEUTON Charger will void your warranty.
• Never use the Charger on any other product. Never operate a damaged Charger. If there is
damage to a cord or the Charger Unit, replace the Charger or have it repaired.
• When storing the Battery after removing it from the Mower, follow the storage guidelines in
“Chapter 7: Maintaining and Storing Your NEUTON Mower”.
• For long-term storage, please see “Recharging to Full Charge for Off-Season Storage” on page 30.
• If the Motor will not run after you have fully charged the Battery, consult the techniques in “Chapter
8: Troubleshooting Tips”. If you still need help, call Toll Free 1-866-NEUTON1 (638-8661) and one
of our Technical Support Representatives will be happy to assist you.
