CORDLESS Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions 5

Battery Care & Charging

Before charging the battery pack, 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 pack has been fully charged.

Battery Pack

The battery pack in your DR

WHISPER LITE

CORDLESS Electric Mower is composed of two

completely sealed 12V lead acid batteries inside a pack connected serially to a 24V motor. There is

no hazardous chemical which can leak from the battery pack, regardless of the position in which the

mower is stored. The battery pack is completely maintenance free. Water never needs to be added.

However, as with all rechargeable batteries, after years of use they will eventually need replacement

for optimal performance. Please refer to the Maintenance section of this manual for more

information.

WARNING! Do not alter the individual batteries in any way, or remove them from the battery

pack.

There are important guidelines with regard to how and when the battery pack should be charged, and

how it should be stored. By following these simple guidelines the life expectancy of the battery pack

will be maximized and your average annual cost for batteries will be minimized.

Before you charge the mower:

1. Always charge the mower indoors in a garage or other covered area where it will be dry and

protected from the weather.

2. Only charge the mower when the temperature is at least 32

F (0

C) but not more than 104

C). Charging in lower or higher temperatures can be harmful to the battery pack. (Follow

temperature guidelines for storage in the Maintenance section of this manual.)

3. Always keep the mower away from water, heat sources (stoves, radiators, open flames, etc.), and

hazardous chemicals.

4. When storing the battery pack after removal from the mower follow the storage guidelines on

page 19 of this manual.

5. Never attempt to charge your mower with a charger other than a Whisper Lite ES360 charger.
