You can use a motorcycle battery charger .Thats what my neighbor does,and he says it works fine for him!
Get a trickle charger at Walmart, about $19.00
Hi, i suggest a great site with plenty of Issues related to your home and garden and everything around it. it also provide clear and accurate answer to many common questions.
I am sure that you can get your answers in this website.
Good Luck and Best Wishes!
If it is a standard 12 volt charger any car battery charger will suffice, how ever if not and has special connections you will probably need to go to where blackand decker products are sold. Also check to see if it is still in warranty.
I dont know of an on-line place to buy one, but your local auto parts dealer should have one. just ask for a “Trickle charger” they are pretty much all the same and can be used on all types of vehicle batteries
GOOD LUCK
you should order one through Black & decker to get the right one, you don,t want to damage your batteries
phone book look up battery chagers
Hi, what is important here is that the battery voltage matches the charge voltage. If you get a Walmart (or similar) trickle charger it will slowly and safely charge a 6 or 12 volt battery. Many motorcycle batteries are 6 volt and so these are sometimes called or labeled as motorcycle battery chargers. They normally cost less than $20 and will have a small switch on the front to toggle between 6 & 12 volts … the nice thing about this is that they will work great on very cold (-20 & colder) weather to keep a car battery good and will charge a car or motorcycle battery quite well over night BUT…. your mower has a 24 VOLT BATTERY so if the key is out and the battery is good try Black & Decker online, Sears and Home Depot … I would say any 24 volt trickle charger would do; however, if the connection is enclosed you may be limited to a Black & Decker specific design. So do not get any charger unless it is rated for 24 volts. Hope this helps and good luck. MAC
You just need to get in touch with Black & Decker (link posted below). Did you lose your charger or did it stop charging? The early versions of the mower were recalled because of the charging circuit inside the mower blowing out (and sometimes catching fire). There are instructions on how to determine if you’re covered under the recall but I can tell you that if you look on the metal decal on the rear of the mower you will find embossed into the metal a “level” number. Levels one thru four were recalled and you get new charging stuff free!
Totally ignore the people telling you to use other chargers! They don’t understand the mower you’ve got and their advice will destroy (at the very least) the 24 volt battery pack!
edit:
Decided to add some details on the charger for this mower. The part you need is *not* the charger, the actual charger is built into your mower and (looking inside with the cover off) is located next to the ‘key’ circuit board or built onto the ‘key’ board depending on what level (version) of the mower you have. The big black ‘wall wart’ (transformer) is just to supply power to the charger and changes voltage and amperage based on signals sent from the actual charger. That’s why it has three wires-one is hot, one is common ground and the third is signal. Also all level 4 and newer mowers have a thermal breaker mounted in the battery pack! Attempting to ‘hot shot’ charge the pack off non-standard chargers will blow the breaker and you get to also replace the pack (It’s epoxied between the two batteries that make up the pack).
Just so you know I’ve been using this model since it first came out (and the deck/key were green not orange). I sold my first one to my next door neighbor when I moved. Bought a new one around 1999 and used it until it was destroyed along with everything else in a house fire (caused by a candle-not the mower) in early 2005. My current one I’ve had since August 2005 and weekly mow my 3/4 acre yard with it (front in the am, charge until dusk and then the back). This has got to be the best mower ever made-no gas, oil, plugs, filters etc. Just unplug, shove the key and GO!
They sell it at canadian tire.
