Battery + Charger Off-Season Storage 1. Do not expose your battery packs or charger to water, or rain or allow them to get wet. This could permanently damage the charger and the battery packs. Do not use oil or solvents to clean or lubricate your battery packs as the plastic casing can become brittle and crack, causing a serious risk of injury. 2. Store the battery packs and charger at room temperature away from moisture. Do not store in damp locations where corrosion of terminals may occur. As with other battery pack types, permanent capacity loss can result if the pack is stored for long periods of time at high temperatures (over 120ºF/49ºC). 3. 24V iON+ lithium-ion battery packs maintain their charge during storage longer than other battery pack types. As a general practice, it is best to unplug the battery charger and remove the battery packs when they are not in use. Recharge the battery packs every 6 months to 50% capacity (2 lights on) during off-season storage to maintain optimal battery performance Related articles SAFETY RECALL NOTICE: 24V-X2-17LM and 24V-X2-17LM-CT Lawn Mowers General Troubleshooting for Battery and Charger How to Register your Shop Joe Product Electric Dethatcher Battery Operated Snow Blower
