recharging cordless lawnmowers

12 years ago

I have a cordless lawnmower with an integrated 24v. lead-acid battery.

the instructions are not clear as to whether I should recharge it after every use, or after the battery is drained. Any advice?

BTW, the charge lasts about an hour and fifteen minutes if the grass is not too wet.

As with any lead-acid battery, (yes, even the one in your
car), never totally discharge it, as that will shorten
the life of the battery. I would charge it right after
using it. And if you can, put it on a maintenance, (trickle), charge, which is one-tenth the amp hour capacity
of the batt. What does the mower manual say to do?
