Charging The Battery Pack - Earth Wise 60420 Manual Del Operador

BATTERY METER
Since the mower battery is shipped in a low charge
condition, the battery must be charged before use. The
battery has 3 LED lights to indicate battery capacity.
These lights will only illuminate when the light indicator
button is pushed.
If three GREEN lights illuminate, the battery is charged
and ready for use. Two green lights are equal to 25%-
80% charge, while one green light is equal to 5%-25%
charge.
It is recommended to charge battery pack when one (1)
light is illuminated.

40 volt storage batteries.

When fully charge, the battery can be safely stored in
temperatures down to –4 (-20 ) for a period of up

battery. Contact Earthwise customer service center at
