  1. Last year I bought 4 new batteries. I made sure to charge them and kept my mower in in the garage on the charger during the winter. Now the gauge only goes to about 1/4th charged and when the mower lasted only a few minutes before it stopped mowing. I have to believe the batteries are OK. Could this be the charger, or gauge or something else? Any ideas?
  2. An update. I had a 2nd new battery and so I replaced a 2nd old one (long story HD sent me an order I cancelled). I guess that raised the total power to be enough to run the mower. I was able to mow the front lawn without it stopping this time. I am going to fully charge it again and try my back yard which is a little over 1/3rd of an acre. Question, I read to wait until batteries cool down before recharging. Is that true?
  3. I replaced a bad battery with a new one, but I am getting the same results. The mower runs for few minutes then stops moving. If I lift off the pedal it moves again for a few feet than stops. Then the blades turn off. I can then drive it back to the garage but only slowly. If I push all the way down on the pedal it goes for a few feet then stops. WilI need to replace all the batteries? Or should I try one more? My tester says the other 3 batteries rate at ~380-400 CCA if that helps. The new battery says ~500.
  4. HELP, Anyone know who has a replacement battery for the RM480e in stock? Home Depot's site says they do, but I ordered one two weeks ago and they keep emailing me that shipping is delayed. They do not have them in stock. I just need one right now. One of my batteries is dead according my tester while the are 3 are 'OK'
  5. I am having the issue where the mower shuts down the blades and even stops forward power when moving in forward. 3 of my batteries rated ~440 and one was only 26. That is likely my problem. I too wonder what a good CCA rating is. My mower is 5 years old. I am debating on how many batteries to replace. I know at least one. I am using a car battery charger to recondition one to see of that helps.
