    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    If the battery voltage drops too low, the motor simply will not run, and therefore will not draw any power. If what you said were true, every time your starter motor battery ran down, you would blow a fuse. Anyways, that is a 100 Amp fuse, so there's no way a motor working normally can draw that...

    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    Not sure how that could occur. The purpose of the fuse is to protect against a short circuit or ground fault in the mower. It also protects against the mower connectors somehow getting shorted. All WORX SLA batteries have them.

    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    The fully charged voltage should be 15% above the nominal voltage, or 2 x 12v x 1.15 = 27.6v. So, neither of those batteries is good. WORX does not sell the individual batteries, just the completely assembly. They are 17ah, but 22ah gel cell batteries will fit.

    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    Roger that. That is a fuse, so if it is blown the voltage at the connector will be zero. It is not required, so the wire can be be directly connected to the battery terminal.

    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    Those are SLA batteries, not lithium ion. They can leak acid, but not catch fire.

    Trying to fix a Worx WA0032 24v mower battery

    Those batteries are dead. They should read 13.8 volts when fully charged. If they are not properly connected to the mower terminals, you won’t get a reading. You can buy a new set of batteries for $100...

    PowerTank Battery goes from 100 to 0 as soon as placed in mower

    Out of curiosity, how old is the battery ? Those batteries rarely last more than 3 years. The bad news is that WORX no longer sells this battery, and they are almost impossible to find anywhere. The good news is that you can rebuild it for about $25. It uses two 12 volt 5 Ah SLA batteries that...

    Getting a Bosch electric mower to work...

    OK, so I assume you live in the UK ? Normally, these electric mowers have a lockout on the startup, whereby you first push and hold a start button, then pull back on a lever or bail bar to start the mower. Once you have started the mower, you can release the start button to continue using the...

    Lithium battery dedicated edger?

    The chance that something will go wrong is very small, and the Kobalt and Greenworks edgers are virtually identical except for the different battery voltage. My original G-Max batteries are over 7 years old and still going strong, and I've never had a motor failure in any of the Greenworks...

    Lithium battery dedicated edger?

    Unless you buy an extended warranty through Lowe's, I doubt there would be a difference, but since I've never owned or returned a Kobalt tool, I can't say for sure. Of course, they do typically have a 30 day free return on all in-store and most online purchases. Have you tried contacting their...

    Kobalt 80v Cordless Mower not cutting/Bagging

    There are separate motors for the blade and the self-propel mechanism, so it is possible for the mower to move without the blade turning. Usually you have to depress and hold a button and then pull back on a bail bar for the blade motor to turn on and rotate the blade. This is a separate control...

    Kobalt 80v Cordless Mower not cutting/Bagging

    Is the blade turning ? Perhaps you are engaging the self-propel but not the blade ?

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    Well, I went to the Lowe's website where they are selling the Greenworks 60 volt 25" twin blade lawn mower, and the Lowe's customer reviews from paying customers are less than stellar. So much for the credibility of reviews from people who received the mower for free. On another note, I was...

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    I wouldn’t place too much credence in those reviews, as they are all “received free product”. Yes, it is a gearbox with four gears, such that one blade turns clockwise and the other counterclockwise. The blades appear to be staggered at 90 degrees.

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    So, Greenworks has introduced some new 60 volt tools based on their Gen II "high capacity" batteries that fortunately are compatible with the original generation tools and vice versa. The battery capacity is now based on 90% of the nominal voltage or 54V, so for example, the 2.5 Ah battery...

    Menards Masterforce brand now into 80V OPE ...

    Interesting. I wonder who makes the Menards 20 volt tools, since Greenworks no longer offers a 20 volt lineup. The problem I have with their 80 volt product line is that there have been no recent innovations or improvements. It seems like Greenworks is focusing primarily on the 60 volt line for...

    Interesting new cordless electric lawn mowers from EGO and Greenworks

    There are several interesting new lawn mowers this year from EGO and Greenworks. First, EGO has a new 21" mower line in both self-propel and push variants that feature a twin blade system similar to what Honda has on some of its gas models, which EGO calls Select Cut. The inner blade is fixed...

    My first Craftsman OPE

    Over the years I've owned many cordless electric straight shaft string trimmers, but none of them have had all the features that I wanted, namely: 1) An adjustable length shaft to accommodate my short 5"-2" frame 2) A bump feed string head with a rapid reload mechanism that doesn't require...

    Update on the Greenworks Elite vs G-MAX battery/charger situation First off, my apologies to the OP for continuing to hijack this thread, but I felt compelled to close out this mysterious issue. To recap, I purchased a pair of Greenworks 40 volt Elite batteries and discovered that they won't...

    New Kobalt 80V Max Line

    So, I was just at my local Lowe's store to buy some Wasp & Hornet killer on sale, and spotted a pair of Craftsman 60 volt Li-Ion lawn mowers, one push and one self-propelled. They were being sold alongside several 80 volt Kobalt and 60 volt Greenworks lawn mowers. It will be interesting to see...

    Ryobi finally has a Steel Deck 40V push mower ...

    Just as a followup, I received the model C-220 Elite charger, and it works fine with the 3 Ah L-300 and 6 Ah L-600 Elite batteries. I was tempted to see if it would work with one my G-MAX batteries until I read the label on the back of the charger. Yikes !

    Ryobi finally has a Steel Deck 40V push mower ...

    It’s not a capacity issue. The new Elite 3 Ah battery won’t recharge in a G-MAX charger either. The G-MAX charger simply does not recognize the presence of an Elite battery when inserted in the charger. The attached photo of the label on the 3 Ah Elite battery clearly indicates that only the...

    Ryobi Lithium Ion Stick Edger and Connexion System

    My new old Ryobi 40 volt blade edger So, it’s been about 4-1/2 years since the last post in this thread, and the my 24 volt Connexion blade edger has finally died. The motor is still good, but the 24 volt battery has pretty much given up the ghost, and will only charge enough to power the edger...

    The Unicorn that wasn’t

    Let me explain. in March, 2017 I purchased a Greenworks 21” 60 volt cordless lawn mower that mentioned in the manual an optional heavy duty blade that promised improved bagging and mulching performance at the expense of higher power drain on the battery. So, I searched the internet and queried...

    New Jonsered (Husqvarna) 58 Volt cordless Outdoor Power Equipment

    So I picked the blower up today from Northern Tool + Equipment. It was actually sitting at the store for four days before they got around to notifying me of its arrival. First impressions are very good. I don’t know if it actually cranks out 750 cfm as they claim, but it is definitely a lot...

    New Yard Force 120 volt cordless self-propelled lawn mower

    I just saw this for sale on Amazon for $799.99. It’s rather pricey, but seems to be a step above the current crop of cordless lawn mowers. The deck is 22”, so the blade should be about 21”. It comes with two 300 Wh batteries and promises up to 110 minutes of runtime...

    No, they are not interchangeable. The battery cases are sufficiently different that they won't fit in the other brand's tools or chargers. Notice the different location of the guides on the side of the batteries in the first photo below:

    Lithium-ion battery voltage wars, where will it end ?

    It wasn't all that long ago that 40 volt lithium-ion batteries were king, but now we have tool batteries in 56, 58, 60, 80 and even 82 volt (Snapper/Briggs&Stratton) configurations. Today I was browsing the Home Depot website and came across a blower and string trimmer under the Redback...

    Performance (CFM) to Weight ratio of handheld leaf blowers

    I've tabulated the Performance (CFM) to Weight ratio (P/W) of my handheld leaf blowers as an indication of their overall efficiency. I've limited this list to blowers with a minimum 300 CFM flow rate, as anything less is fairly useless as a leaf blower IMO. The cordless blowers were weighed with...
