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. Reference "Step 4: Charge
the Battery before your first use." on page 7 for information on connecting the Battery Charger to the Battery.
The Battery
The NEUTON Mower comes with a sealed, lead acid Battery already installed at the factory. The Battery is 36 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.
•
Risk of electric shock; do not touch the non-insulated portion of the output connector or the non-insulated Battery
terminal.
•
Use the NEUTON 36V Charger only with the NEUTON 36V Battery. Use of other Chargers or the NEUTON 36V 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
TIPS
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.
•
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 and remove it from the Charger. The Battery will fully charge in eight (8) to fourteen (14) hours.
•
Your Charger is designed to automatically shut itself off after fourteen (14) hours, however 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 -
40ºF (5ºC) and +95ºF (+35ºC). 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 eight (8) to fourteen (14) hours prior to storage and then every one (1) to two
(2) months; and then again prior to the first use of the season. 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, do not use the Charger until you have
replaced or repaired the Cord. Do not abuse the Cord. Never carry the Charger by the Cord. Always pull the plug – and not
the Cord – when disconnecting the Cord from the electrical outlet (wall outlet) and from the Charger. 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).
