Keeping up with your lawn care is a lot of work. From mowing and weeding to edging and trimming, it can take hours to maintain a beautiful outdoor space. Thankfully, there are many battery-powered tools available that can make the job a lot easier. But how do you keep those tools running in tip-top shape? Read on for some of our tips for maintaining your lawn tools so they stay in tip-top condition and give you years of trusty service.
Charge The Batteries Regularly
The most important step in keeping your battery-powered lawn tools in good condition is to charge them regularly. Most batteries are designed to last at least a few years if they’re properly maintained and recharged when needed. To extend the life of your battery, be sure to charge it every few weeks, even if you haven’t used it recently. This will ensure the battery stays at its peak performance level and will be ready whenever you need it.
Keep Your Batteries Clean
A further key step in the upkeep of your battery-powered lawn tools is to keep the batteries clean. Dirt and dust can build up on the terminals of the batteries and cause them to corrode or short-circuit over time. Wipe down the terminals every time you use your tool with a damp cloth or paper towel, being careful not to get any liquid inside the housing of the battery itself. This will help keep them clean and free from corrosion or other damage caused by dirt buildup.
Store Your Batteries Safely
It’s also important to store your batteries safely when they’re not in use. Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and any heat sources like radiators or hot water pipes. It’s also best practice to store them at room temperature (15–20°C) where possible, as this helps prolong their life by reducing wear and tear on the internal components of the battery cell itself.
Service The Tool and Replace Parts as Necessary
If something isn’t working quite right with one of your tools (especially if it’s not responding to a full charge), it might be time for a service or to replace some parts. This can mean anything from blades on a mower or trimmer head on an edger; whatever it may be, check manufacturer instructions for replacement guidelines and then contact us for a service or to purchase replacement parts accordingly. It’s also a good idea to have spare parts on hand if something goes wrong mid-mow or trim job; having extras means less downtime on the job.
Clean Your Tools Regularly
You should clean all of your tools regularly—not just those powered by batteries. Cleaning blades on mowers, edgers and trimmers will help maintain their sharpness and prevent rust buildup over time. A simple wipe-down will do the trick here; make sure that all dirt or debris is removed before putting any tool away for storage.
Following the above steps will help keep your battery-powered lawn tools running smoothly for years to come! Make sure you charge your batteries regularly, clean them often, and store them safely when not in use – doing these simple things will ensure your equipment is ready to go when you need it most!
