Maintenance and storage of garden batteries

Spring is here and it's time to give a freshness to your garden for sunny days. But this part of pleasure can be stopped if after the long winter break your mower, tiller, trimmer or hedge trimmer no longer work.

Repairable failure or replacement to be expected?
No need to be alarmed, your battery is perhaps simply. To check, you have several choices:

• For NiCd or NiMh technology, use a multimeter (measuring device, volts, amps and the voltage at the terminals of the electric circuit) by connecting the Red wire to the (+) Terminal and the black Terminal (-) wire to your battery poles. If the final voltage is lower than listed on the battery case it means that the battery is end of life;
• In the case of a lead batteryYou can bypass it using car ignition wires. Simply plug them in to a charged battery. For your safety, we recommend that you start with the black cable (-) and then the red cable (+).

If after testing your battery still does not work, it must be in a State of deep discharge, therefore, replace it. But make no mistake, this is not necessarily more expensive than buying new garden tools.
