Battery Power Status
The best storage for a battery is a cool dry place. In
fact, a fully charged battery will withstand temperatures
of about -50° F without freezing. (Windchill is not a
factor for batteries, this is thermometer temperature.)
However, a discharged battery will freeze at +32° F, the
freezing point of water.
The three horizontal LED lights at the top of the control
panel indicate approximately how much charge is left in
the battery while the mower is in operation (Figure 18).
The lights are only accurate when the mower is
operating and cutting grass. The following is an
explanation of the symbols under the battery power
status LED lights:
New mowers are charged before shipping. This
charge is good for about six months. Inventory must
be charged at six month intervals. An access panel is

charged, the charger shuts off. Even when charging
the batteries, the current draw will not be large.
Battery Life — If the charging recommendations are
followed, batteries will generally need replacing every
4-5
years. However, if stored in a discharged
condition, the batteries can fail in a few months.
