A timely warning.

Recently replaced mine. About 15 years old. I always drained it after use but decided to err on the side of caution. Got a slightly bigger 15 amp model from Tradetools (Renegade like my old one - still made in Brisbane). My old one will go to one of my son's to have pressure tested and ultrasounded or whatever they do to test. Motor is still great. Cheers

Impractical, perhaps, but what if you stored the battery/ies with only 1% charge and charged when needed?
Come to think of it, I think our 36v Stihl mower manual says to store battery between 40%-60%!

I'll ask.
