- Check for battery or charging warnings.
- Confirm the exact mower model/article number before ordering a battery.
- Compare runtime under similar grass and weather conditions.
- Clean wheels and the cutting system to reduce avoidable mechanical load.
Stop if: the mower has damaged wiring, a swollen/damaged battery, severe vibration, water inside electrical areas, or would require opening sealed electronics.
