Find the contactor that went "clack" and determine if it is being driven to "clack" or not. If not then scratch your head, if being driven then go about finding a replacement contactor.

Disconnect and reconnect batteries just in case there is some microscopic corrosion due to temperature changes over the winter. this is a common issue with anything electrical. Keep it simple.
Tried connect/disconnect battery to no avail.
Speaking of CANBUS, can I simply unplug the CANBUS connector from the battery so it can't send the, "Bad Battery" signal to the mower? Without that signal, maybe I can run the mower?
Or, the disconnected CANBUS will send the bad battery signal anyway?
Maybe need a CANBUS scanner, whatever that is.

Who sells Craftsman battery mowers? Lowes. Does Lowes service/repair battery equipment? No. Do most shops service/repair battery Craftsman equipment? No. Do you see where I am going?
None of the shops around here will even look at a battery mower or any battery OPE. Can't get parts and are throw aways one real mower shop manager told me.

If the dealer sells Stihl for example, then obviously they will work on your battery trimmer, blower, etc. However, if you buy a Ryobi or Craftsman battery piece of equipment for example, at Home Depot or Lowes, no shop in most cases is going to repair that off brand equipment. Therefore it often ends up in the dump while people are trying to be “green”.
