I spoke with someone at Ryobi and they suggested I take it to a repair center. He suggested that one of the controllers might be bad, but I am going to do the battery load test that you have suggested in previous posts. I suspect it is probably battery related. Now that we've had a lot of rain, I'll have lots of opportunities to test it out. Luckily, the repair shop is only a few miles away, so not too big of a deal if I need to take it in.

Hi, I have recently been following this thread as I have a the 100Ahr riding mower which I purchased in 2020. The run time seemed adequate last year, but starting this year the run time is noticeably shorter. I kept it plugged in all winter long and it's always plugged in when not in use. I did a pre-mow voltage check a few weeks ago and it was 51.6v. I mowed until the blades shut off and the post-mow voltage was 49.4v (3 bars left) at which point I drove back to charge it up. I was able to charge it back up to 100% (voltage was +52v) in about an hour. Shouldn't the run time be longer if my ending voltage that high still? Would this be a problem with one of the batteries, or some other problem? Thanks
