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. An indi-
cator LED on the charger provides information during
the charging operation.
Colder temperatures will increase the time needed to
fully charge the batteries. NEVER attempt to charge fro-
zen batteries. Also, if temperatures below freezing are
expected, do not add water to battery after charging as
added water could freeze and damage battery.
For additional battery charging information, see your
Operator's Manual and the Battery Charger Operating
Instructions.

Battery Storage

If the vehicle will be stored for any period of time, use the
on--board battery charger to fully charge batteries. After
charging batteries, check battery electrolyte level and
adjust level if needed. Allow charger to remain con-
nected to vehicle during storage to prevent battery dis-
charge and potential battery damage.
If the vehicle will be stored for more than thirty (30) days
and the battery charger cannot be used for some rea-
son, charge the batteries fully. Either store batteries on
a shelf or in the vehicle. Store the batteries in a cool at-
mosphere to avoid quick deterioration of the charge in
the batteries. To prevent batteries from freezing, make
sure they are fully charged before storage. During the
storage period, charge the batteries at least once every
three (3) months to prevent battery damage. Before re-
turning the vehicle to service, make sure to fully charge
the batteries.
