Welcome to our page on Lawn Mower Battery



Mowers need a lawn mower battery. Not all available batteries in the market are suitable for your specific model. The first thing to do after buying a new lawn mower is to read the operator's manual thoroughly, to understand how to operate your lawn mower before starting to use any mower. The manual will also tell you what kind and model of mower battery must be used, to achieve the perfect performance as well as information about lawn mower safety.

Most lawn mower batteries are sealed units, however if your is not or if it is leaking for some reason, this fluid is likely acid and can cause damage to your skin as well as surrounding materials. Handle your battery with extreme care.

The hydrogen gas at battery maintenance is also a hazard. Unless you know what you are doing, we suggest that you take your lawnmower to local dealer or nearest service center for maintenance. In addition protect your lawn mower battery from being exposed to extreme heat sources to avoid the threat of explosions.





Care Of Lead Acid Batteries

Lead acid batteries have electrolytes in the battery compartment. The following tips on battery care will prolong the battery life.

1. The acid is hydrochloric acid. Care should be taken to see that the acid does not spill on your person or clothes. Any spill should be washed with copious amounts of water.

2. Top up the water level with distilled water only. Do not use tap water. Top up water level so that the lead plates are just submerged in electrolyte. Do not top up to maximum to avoid potential spillage of acid.

3. There is a small hole at the plug for water addition. The hydrogen in the battery escapes through this hole. Ensure that this hole is clear and not blocked.

Care Of Ni-Cad batteries

Ni-Cad batteries are maintenance free batteries. They do not require maintenance. The only care that you have to take is to see that the batteries are not charged until they are completely discharged. Following this approach will improve the life of batteries.

Ni-cad batteries cannot be disposed of in fire, as there is a danger of the battery exploding.

Lawn mower batteries can be bought at local dealers and it is important to match the right battery with the lawn mower it is designed to work with. Overcharging or insufficient power could be the result with improperly matched lawn mower batteries.
