Re: (ET) Energy usage

[SteveS <stevesgroups verizon net>]

I would check the batteries and connections first. Be sure the batteries 
are all watered correctly, check each battery (preferably with a load 
tester), and see if any battery connections are warm after mowing.

If that's all good, I'd be sure there's no mechanical impediment:  Does 
it roll down a small hill easily in neutral? Can you turn the motor 
easily ( again in neutral).

I would think these few simple tests stand a good chance of narrowing 
the problem down.

- may also be a disconnect going bad.
- if it's an E20 and has the small sheet metal shunt: check that for 
poor connections - that will dump a lot of energy.
