Battery Charging For Lawn Mower?
I have a Gardena reel lawn mower, electric with battery. I know it needs to be fully charged before re-use, like 24 hours, but should it be fully DIScharged before I re-charge?
By the way, the power adapter (a transformer type) was giving only 9 volts for a 12 v battery, so it would never hold a charge - had to buy a new one.
Always a good idea to fully discharge because of battery "memory".Your battery will loose its maximum charge if repeatedly recharged before being drained. The battery tends to remember the smaller charge.It can also cause the battery to loose its peak voltage more quickly.
