The battery is filled with battery acid
and sealed at the factory. But even
a "maintenance-free" battery needs
servicing to ensure it has a certain
service life.
Keep the battery clean.

"sealed" battery if it is tilted.
Before using the mower for the

After charging the battery, first
pull out the battery charger plug,
then disconnect the battery (see
