| i found a battery mower for sale. dead batteries. says it uses a 24v battery pack. i saw online where a guy used 2 12v-18ah batteries in series. 30 each. the pick of mower battery system shows it using a 2 pack setup. maybe thats how the manuf built it? the battery is a UB12180. pretty cheap and generic. is there a 24v SINGLE case battery out there? or does this mower get junked when batteries die? seems the 24v battery pack is $150-175. but than the single battery i got online was 30 compared to 75 at battery store. |

| As long as you can make and keep good connections between the batteries there is no reason it shouldn't work. Depending on the size or capacity of the batteries you may find they will run down faster than with the battery pack recommended for the mower. You are seeing the unadvertised downside of rechargeable devices. They are convenient but the cost of battery replacement means many people just buy a new device when the battery needs a charge every 10 minutes. A dead rechargeable mower should be inexpensive, almost to the point of free unless it is in virtually new condition. Remember rechargeable mowers will not be powerful mowers. If it was my money I would spend it on a new corded mower. |
