I run a ryobi cordless. The
batteries are 2 12 volt sealed lead acid 18 ah ups type battery. Picked
up a new set off of eBay for a scooter that was messed up in delivery (so the
story goes) for $12 and $15 in shipping. I would think the B&D mower
would be on the same line. They might not be as good as originals but the
price is right.

Subject: (ET) Age & Equipment
Age 39 and I have had an E15 for a few years, used
primarily for snow blowing. My mower needs lots of work and I've been meaning
to ship the 4 frozen motors to Bill to see if he could rebuild 3 good ones,
guess I waited too long. I'll have to see if anyone local can do it. I don't
have much money for this hobby or much time so my tractor needs a lot of work,
an Alltrax is planned except for the $$ I hope to tear it down this summer and
fix the rust, paint and prepare for the Alltrax.
I
also am planning on putting in a 12V battery for accessories to be fed by a 36V
to 12V converter. The converter is only 3AMP and it will be feeding 2 12V 18AH
SLA and I'm wondering if I need a charge controller?
I've
been using my ICE tractor for mowing until this year when I made a concerted
effort to use a Craftsmen rechargeable mower (rebadged B&D) I traded my old
Lawnboy for. It has a weak battery so I have to recharge it 4 times to do my
lawn. PITA. A replacement battery from B&D is over $200!!! I'll have to
pull the battery out and see if I can match it to anything, it's 24V so I
assume it's 2 12V SLA batteries.
