Battery Charging; Battery Storage - Toro Workman GTX Electric & Lithium Service Manual

Battery Charging

When the vehicle is not in use, it is recommended to
keep the batteries charged by connecting the on--board
battery charger to an appropriate electrical outlet. The
Workman GTX charger is designed to automatically
charge the batteries fully without overcharging.
For additional battery charging information, see your
Operator's Manual and the Battery Charger Operating
Instructions. Refer to Battery Charger Error and Fault
Codes in this manual for battery charger troubleshoot-
ing information.

Battery Storage

Do not store the machine in a location where the temper-
ature will drop below --25ºC (--13ºF) or rise above 45ºC
(113ºF). Because storage temperature will affect the life
of the battery pack, avoid storing the machine in temper-
atures outside of this range. Storage for long periods of
time at high temperatures will reduce the life of the bat-
tery pack, especially if the pack is stored with a high
charge. Where possible, store the machine in a cool (not
below freezing) location.
1. Storage of 1 to 6 months: Charge or discharge the
battery to 50 -- 100%. 50% is ideal due to 100% will de-
grade the battery faster.
2. Storage of 6 to 12 months: Charge the battery to
100%.
3. Storage of more than 12 months: Check the state of
charge. If it is under 50% charging is required.

After charging, disconnect the charger from batteries to
prevent minimal drain on the batteries. If charger is left
connected to the batteries for an extended period, it will
shut off after the batteries are fully charged and will NOT
turn back on unless the charger is disconnected and re-
connected.
Shipping and Transporting the Lithium- -Ion
Batteries
The US Department of Transportation and international
transportation authorities require that lithium--ion batter-
ies be shipped using special packaging and only be
handled by carriers certified to haul them. Use the ori-
ginal packaging whenever possible when shipping lithi-
um--ion batteries in the USA. If the original packaging is
damaged or not available, use a Battery Shipping Kit;
refer to Special Tools. Contact the appropriate govern-
ment body in your country for detailed regulations on
shipping the lithium--ion batteries.
In the USA, you are allowed to transport the battery
when it is installed on the machine as battery powered
equipment, with some regulatory requirements. Contact
US Department of Transportation or the appropriate
government body in your country for detailed regula-
tions on transporting a machine with lithium batteries in-
stalled.
IMPORTANT: Ship a lithium- -ion battery in its origin-
al packaging or a specially designed Battery Ship-
ping Kit. Failure to ship a lithium- -ion battery
correctly may result in substantial penalties.
