You didn't say what the dimensions are of the battery 'area'.
This one may work:

I received one two days ago from a previous auction. 'New' these
go for over $100 last I checked. The one I have arrived with 12.25v
on the terminals. I charged it, but haven't had time to cycle it yet.
This weekend probably. This is essentially the same battery that is
in my B&D CMM650 12v mower, which has a 6 year old battery
that had a weak cell at the end of last year. I did a 'Lee Hart' to
it this spring, charging it for over 24 hours at about 16v at low
current (<1amp). It seems to have come back, I haven't checked
it's capacity yet, but it has been mowing the yard fine this year.

Subject: (ET) Electric Toro
Hello all, in addition to my WheelHorse C-185, I also have an old
Toro carefree electric 16. I've been trying to find more info on it
but with not much luck. The label with the model and serial number
is long gone. The info on the motor is as follows...
09843 23 M030MM
2 28 75
12V
The guy I bought it off of was using a lawn mower 12V starting
battery in it, needless to say it didn't last very long, so I put in
a 12V deep cycle trolling motor battery, still doesn't last very
long. I've contacted Toro without much success. Does anyone have any
idea where I can get more info. I had thought the trolling motor
battery would work, but it didn't for very long. I may also need to
get a different type of charger as the one I'm using is a inexpensive
6V/12V charger from walmart.
Thanks for any info, Tony
