Chapter 4: Charging and Caring for the Battery
Before charging the Battery, read all instructions and cautionary markings in this manual and on your Mower. Do not
operate your Mower until you have read and understand all instructions and the Battery is fully charged.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery is 24 volts and rated at
10 amp-hours. The Battery should not leak, regardless of the position in which it is stored. Read “Handling the Battery Safely”
in Chapter 1 for additional information.
The Battery is completely maintenance free. You never need to add water. With all rechargeable Batteries, after years of use,
they will eventually need replacement.
With proper care, the Battery can last up to three (3) to five (5) years.
• Never attempt to alter or open the Battery. Use normal household voltage (110 volts) when charging the Battery. Plug the
Charger directly into the electrical outlet.
• Use the NEUTON 24V Charger only with the NEUTON 24V Battery. Use of other Chargers or the NEUTON 24V Charger
with other types of Batteries may result in bursting of the Battery, which could cause personal injury and property
damage.
• Under normal conditions, the Battery charge should last for approximately forty-five (45) to sixty (60) minutes per use with a
fully charged Battery. The length of time depends on the length, density, and dampness of the grass, cutting height setting,
current Battery charge level, and ongoing Battery care/charging. If the Battery does not provide a forty-five (45) minute run
time, it does not mean that your Battery is defective. If you generally intend to use your Mower for a longer duration,
Neuton Power Equipment recommends that you purchase an extra Battery. Whereby, you could have a second fully
charged Battery ready so you can continue mowing.
• The optimal ambient temperature for charging of the Battery is between +32ºF (0ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC). Make sure
the charging temperatures will never be outside these limits.
• It may take up to five (5) charging and discharging cycles before your Battery provides maximum life.
• A Battery may last much longer if you charge it as soon as it starts to lose power and not let it completely discharge. You
should not try to coax a little more power out of your Battery. Recharge the Battery as soon as possible after each use for
twenty (20) to thirty (30) hours and remove it from the Charger.
• Avoid leaving the Battery on the Charger for a period of more than a week.
• For superior Battery performance, always store the Battery in a DRY environment with temperatures between
+5ºF (-15ºC) and +104ºF (+40ºC). 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. Charge the Battery for twenty (20) to thirty (30) hours prior to storage and then every one (1) to two (2)
months; and then again prior to the first seasons use. Be sure to remove the Charger from the Battery after charging.
Also, do not store the Battery near children or pets or close to a source of heat, sparks, open flame or on the floor as it
may be damp or subject to accidental flooding. In addition, never expose the Battery to abnormal shaking or shocks.
Regularly observe the external appearance of the Battery. Never use a Battery that shows cracks, changes shape, leaks,
or is obviously damaged.
Periodically inspect the Cord on the Charger unit for damage. If damage occurs, discontinue use of the Charger
immediately and visit our website at www.neutonpower.com or call Neuton Power Equipment Toll Free at: 1-866-
NEUTON1 (638-8661) for a replacement Charger. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always
pull the Charger – and not the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the electrical outlet (wall outlet). Always
pull the Charger Connector – and not the Cord – when disconnecting the Charger from the Charging Receptacle on the
Battery after charging. When using an extension Cord with your Charger, use a heavy-duty extension Cord of a type
“suitable for outdoor use” (although you should never charge the Battery in the open outdoors).
