## Description

The Gardening range groups starting batteries for garden machinery: lawnmower tractors, self-propelled lawnmowers and similar equipment.

## Technology

These are reduced-size lead-acid batteries with contained starting current, sufficient for single or twin-cylinder small-displacement engines. They are designed for seasonal use, with long periods of inactivity between seasons, and therefore both winter preservation and performance in service are crucial.

## Applications

- Lawnmower tractors and self-propelled
- Garden machinery with electric start
- Rotary mowers and small-displacement equipment
- Seasonal light starting applications

## How to choose

The usual cause of failure in this type of machine is not use, but storage: a battery that spends the winter discharged will sulfate. Store it charged and give it a maintenance charge before the season.

## Naming and equivalences

PowerSports SLI Gardening is the specific range of garden machinery within the PowerSports family. Covers lawnmowers and equipment with electric start.

## Frequently asked questions

### What battery does a lawnmower take?

A reduced-size 12 V starting battery, with a moderate current sufficient for a single-cylinder or small two-cylinder engine.

### Why does my lawnmower battery break down every season?

Almost always it is not due to use but storage: a battery that spends the winter discharged sulfates and loses capacity irreversibly.

### How do I store it in winter?

Store it charged, in a dry place and not too cold, and give it a maintenance charge every two or three months or before starting the season.

### Does a motorcycle battery work for garden machinery?

If the dimensions, voltage, starting current, and polarity match, yes. What determines compatibility is the technical specification, not the indicated application.
