Happy to have found this forum! This is my 1st post.
I am in the process of switching from a gas mower to an electrical one. I already have a corded mower that runs fine but recently I got a curb fine: a CMM1200 mower with all the goodies: a charger, an extra blade etc etc. Figured if I can get it to work it'll be easier to convince my teen kids to mow the lawn (and would be a bit safer too as they would not have to deal with the cord).
Turns out the original (orange) charger is dead. I bought this replacement. One weekend I charged the battery overnight and it seemed to work fine and have enough juice to last for my entire ~0.25 acre lot.
This morning I charged it for several hours but after that it only ran for less than a minute and then stopped. I will charge it overnight and try again tomorrow. But I also want to see if the battery is going kaput. What's the right way of testing a battery? I saw some mentions of measuring it "without load" and "under load". How do I do that? Also, what should the measurements be for a normal battery and what's considered a sign of a dead battery?
Thx muxh!
