I've had this mower for 3 years. Today, I noticed that the battery charger light is flashing red and the battery is not charging. Where can I find a replacement?

Hi,You ought to be able to get some good information from MTD Products at 877-282-8684 or log on to their website at www.mtdproducts.com. They were very helpful with me when I had a charger question. Make sure you've got the model number handy (should be on the charger itself, above the caution notice) . Fortunately, the chargers are inexpensive to replace...but you've got to get the right one for your battery.

Forget about all of that, there is 2x12 volt batteries inside the compartment. Have those replaced, you are likely to spend $85 online through amazon or $120 when you go to the store. That solved my problem after wasting time trying to have company back up their warranty agreement. Good luck!!!I had contacted MTD and the company was playing hide and seek with me...I guess not as lucky as Michelle

I have no idea about that. I bought it for my dad and I know he had an issue with the charger, took it to a retailer and it was replaced, but it isn't a lifetime warranty, it's only of it's within three years is what the guy told my dad. You'd be better asking a question like that to the company instead of to members who might give you inaccurate information .

If the scooter only runs for 4 seconds the battery is discharged. You can verify this by checking battery with a voltmeter. Also check output voltage of charger with the meter. If the charger is indicating full voltage, you have a defective battery or a bad connection to it. In either case the battery is not charging. It is normal for it to run for 4 seconds if the battery is discharged. hope you resolve it soon they are a real blast to ride. Larry

I have the same problem, my edger uses the same battery, I have 1 in the charger and 1 fully charged in the machine. When the first goes dead, put the first in the charger and use the 2nd one. Two 4 amp batteries should be enough.

This may seem a dumb question, but are you sure the problem you're having is due to the charger? Or, are your batteries no longer chargeable? I still have my B&D; Groom 'N' Edge, but the batteries gave out. Two replacement batteries cost almost as much as a whole new unit, so I bought a new one with a cord. No batteries. If you're sure it's the charger, I'll sell you my used one for $10 shipping included.

I have 2 Chargers. Each one will have a red light when charging. Perhaps you could find another person with a similar charger and try it. If your battery is a few years old, it's probably ready for retirement. Good luck.

The battery charger completely quit working, so I charge it through the camera itself. I haven't replaced it and probably won't. But the batteries have proved to be fine. When the charger worked it had a small led that went from red to green, green meaning charged.

I have the same battery for my mower but I have never seen this with mine. I would say that if the battery still charges and holds that charge as it should then I would say that it's fine. However if there is any indication that it isn't charging properly I would contact Black and Decker.

If all 3 lights on the throttle are on when you start out then the batteries are probably dead. If only 1 light is on it could be a charging issue. My scooter is 3 years old now and the charging socket on the scooter is now having trouble making good contact with the charging plug. I hang a small amount of weight from the plug so the charging light on the charger stays on. How long a battery lasts depends on a number of factors. You should recharge them as soon as possible. It's better if you don't drain them of power completely. Batteries of the type on these scooters can only be recharged a certain number of times depending on how low you drain the batteries. There are other factors involved in the life of the batteries but this gives you an idea of what can effect the life of your scooter batteries. My batteries still provide enough power for the distance I usually travel and there the original batteries (3 years old). You can buy new batteries from Supper Scooter's (there's 3 of them in your scooter), or you may be able to buy them by looking at the AH rating on the batteries in the scooter and measuring there size then doing a search online for new one's. Good luck!

I do think you can replace the batteries but it could be your charger and you can buy them online check on wahl. com to see if they have battery replacement

When you return it to it's charger/cradle,make sure the green light on the razor comes on and blinks.My son kept just hanging it up without the connection and when I went to use it it was very low so I taught him to make sure it was charging when returned to it's cradle.I hope this helps.

I bought an off-brand battery charger for my EN-EL3e Nikon battery (about 7 years old). The battery just died. Don't know if this is related or not.

It looks like it is for a Craftsman lawn mower with a key startup. I ordered one this year. I wasn't sure if my problem was with the battery or the charger. Turned out to be both. The model no. is on the battery itself.

You should leave the battery connected to the charger at all times you are not using the mower. If you did not do this, the battery is probably damaged. It is a sealed Lead Acid battery and should NEVER be allowed to be less than about 90% charged. If you did not charge the battery after last using the mower, and didn't use it for several months, you almost certainly ruined the battery.

Has anyone been able to purchase a replacement battery for the 7140XL? I can't find one, and my shaver will only hold a charge for about 3 shaves now. I've had it for only a couple of years.

Eventually after the battery is fully charged the light goes to a steady green. If the battery is defective, a red light will indicate that. This charger is a little more critical of the overall health of the battery. Some people have commented that the charger says to replace the battery were other chargers say it is fine. I have only had this happen to me one time and I believe the battery probably should have been replaced.
