26 NEUTON EM 4.1 Cordless Electric Mower Safety & Operating Instructions
Getting the Most Out of Your Battery
How you charge and use your NEUTON Mower can have a great impact on the performance
of your battery. Here are some tips to help you make a battery perform well and last as long as
possible:
It takes at least 12 hours to fully charge the battery. Do not use a battery that has been charged
less than 12 hours.
Be sure to fully charge the battery before using the mower for the first time.
Fully charge the battery after each use, no matter how briefly you operated the mower.
Experience has shown that, under normal conditions, the battery should run for approximately
¾ to 1 hour. The length of time depends on the length and density of the grass, and whether
the grass is wet. If you intend to use your mower and trimmer longer than that, purchase an
extra battery and have it fully charged before you start.
Frequent stops and restarts use additional battery energy. Try to work continuously and
smoothly when mowing.
Long or dense grass takes more power from the battery when cutting. Plan to cut long grass in
several passes, several days apart, to get it to the ideal length. See “Mowing and Lawn Care
Tips” in Chapter 4 for more information.
It is safe to run the battery until the mower stops or until the green indicator light goes out.
At this point, recharge the battery for at least 12 hours. If you have purchased a spare battery,
you can use the fully-charged battery to continue mowing while you recharge the spent battery
outside of the mower.
You do not need to remove the battery from the mower when recharging or storing it.
Again, to get the maximum life out of the battery, disconnect the charger soon after the battery
is fully charged and then periodically recharge it if the mower is not used.
Pushing your mower too hard during heavy mowing can cause the motor to slow down. Either
raise the cutting height or walk slower while pushing your mower. To avoid damage and extend
battery life, always mow at a pace where the motor runs smoothly.
If the motor will not run after you have fully charged the battery, consult the techniques in
“Chapter 8: Troubleshooting Tips.” If you still need help, call Technical Support at
