RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
BATTERY OPERATION AND CARE
The battery in your mower is a 60 volt sealed lead
acid system. There is no liquid contained within
the battery. The mower can therefore be stored
in any position without fear of leakage.
Specifi c Characteristics

should be kept on constant charge when
not in use.
• For best results, battery should be
charged in a cool, dry location.
• The battery does not need to be fully
discharged before recharging.
• Two or three initial charging cycles may
be required after purchase to achieve
maximum run time capacity.
• The battery can be safely stored down
to 32°F (0°C).
• The battery is maintenance free.
Proper Care

performance, it is recommended that
the battery be maintained on constant
charge.
• The mower may be stored with the char-
ger disconnected if all of the following

WARNING
Service and Installation
Your Remington brand hybrid mower is shipped
with the battery system fully assembled and
ready for use. When service or repair is required,
it is recommended that you take your mower to
a qualifi ed service center.
When inserting the battery into this product, the
proper polarity or direction must be observed.
Reverse insertion of the battery can result in
leakage or explosion.
DO NOT incinerate the battery pack even if they
are severely damaged or completely worn out.
The batteries can explode in a fi re.
Use only an approved Rem-
ington brand replacement
battery.
CAUTION
Do not store or carry battery so
that metal objects can contact
exposed battery terminals. For
example, do not place battery
in aprons, pockets, tool boxes,
product kit boxes, drawers, etc.
with loose nails, screws, keys,
jewelry. The battery or conductor
may overheat and cause burns.
WARNING
Do not attempt to alter or open
the battery.
WARNING
IMPORANT: You must charge
your battery before using your
mower for the fi rst time and in-
between every use. Failure to
fully charge the battery before
the first use may cuase the
battery's charging capacity to
be decreased.
Before using mower for the fi rst time, and
whenever battery becomes drained, fully charge
battery for approximately 10 hours. If the bat-
tery is not charged completely before using
the mower, the battery’s charging capacity
may decrease.
Note: The mower has an on-board battery char-
ger. If the mower is plugged in, the battery can
be charged by selecting "charge" with the power
select knob. If the optional separate charger is
purchased, the battery may be charged when it
is removed from the mower.
Note: The length of time that a battery can
hold its charge while mowing depends upon
lawn conditions; tall or thick grass makes the
mower work harder causing the battery to
discharge faster.
The Remington brand mower comes with a
sealed, lead acid battery installed at the factory.
The battery is rated for 60 volts and 5 amp-hours.
The battery should not leak, regardless of the
position in which the mower is stored.
The battery is completely maintenance-free. You
never need to add water. However, as with all
rechargeable batteries, after years of use they
will eventually need replacement. With proper
care, this battery should last up to 5 years.
Note: As the battery ages, it may take longer
to fully charge (up to 24 hours). A good time
to consider purchasing a replacement battery
is when the battery takes longer to charge than
when it was new.
IMPORTANT: It may take up to 5 charging and
discharging cycles before your battery provides
maximum life.
