I’ve been using the Ryobi riding electric mower for a few years. In te beginning, I could mow over an acre on a charge. I’m down to 0.1 acre now.
Time for new batteries? Probably. These sealed lead-acid, 100ah, batteries are expensive! About 240 at Home Depot at the moment.
I have a suspicion that the charger is faulty as well though. After a week’s wait, I can barely mow anything. If I then charge it for a few hours, I can mow much more. It looks like the trickle charger is not keeping the batteries charged.
I cannot find a replacement charger anywhere though. It should be the Ryobi sc-48, but I cannot find this online.
Does anyone know of a suitable replacement charger?
