  1. Lawnmower blade bent

    in Ryobi

    Posted

    I replaced my lawnmower blade after striking a pipe. While cutting grass next time I had banging off & on. Exaimed my mower & a found a bolt had been lost & a piece of the deck would move & hit the blade. The new blade was damaged. The lesson learned is to exaim the whole deck before puting on a new blade.

    While watching YouTube how to change out my batteries it was mentioned to add this product to the batteries. It will increase the life of the batteries 2 to 3 times. My first 4 batteries lasted 5 years. You have to use the 48 Volt one. Pulsetech PowerPulse Battery Maintenance System is the name. I installed it on my mower & the 12 -volt one on my Camper & home

     

    generator. Here is a YouTube video about it.

    You may not have to replace all of them. The owners manual shows how to remove the batteries. One weak cell can bring the system down. The batteries should be good for 1,500-1,700 charge cycles. A simple load test of each will show you what is going on. I took mine to a local battery shop for testing. I had one go bad at 11 months and a new battery replaced it. mower has been flawless for almost 45 months now. 370 charges, 160 hrs. of use. Ego 56 volt lithium packs are rated by Ego for 1,000 charges. This month, the cost of operation vs. a comparable ICE mower with pay for new batteries in my RM480e. The current cost of 87E10 gas makes my mower 16x less expensive to operate than an ICE mower. 

    Thanks for the information.

    I bought my RM480e - Roobi Riding Lawnmower in 2017 & this year I have to charge my mower between cuts. It has 52 hours on the meter. It runs less than an hour now.

    So, it is time to change out the batteries. I found a YouTube how to change the batteries. I wish there was more information out there.

    The cost of 4 batteries were $1023. Last year the cost of my battery on the push mower- EGO was $265. I am thinking this is not worth the cost any longer.
