I just replaced the original 12 year old 24V 17.2AH battery in my B&D CMM1000 mower with a set of brand new Werker AGM 12V (2 of them) 18AH batteries. I know I installed the new batteries correctly because I was able to do a full load of mowing after installation (since the batteries came fully charged).
But the mower won't charge the new batteries. I should have guessed I had a problem from the beginning since the charge light on the mower didn't come on once I plugged in the charger. I was hoping it was just the light itself that was broken but alas...after charging for a day or so, I tried to use the mower but the batteries only last for few minutes. I tried charging longer, shorter, etc to no avail.
I spent $150 to replace the batteries instead of getting a new mower (trying to be responsible) and I'm thinking I made a mistake...unless you guys have some thoughts what is wrong and I can fix it easily.
Thanks in advance for your help!
