CMM1200 Charger I purchased this mower in 2008 and really like it, but I think the charger may have died. It was working fine last night, but when I plugged it in today the little light on the side of the charger isn't coming on. I mowed the whole lawn before it died, so I think the battery's okay.

Yes it is a good price! I paid almost $500 for mine over 4 years ago! But please be aware, I am now in need of a third battery charger. I don't know why they go out, but they do. Maybe this new design (the black one) will be better. If it comes with the orange charger, then you will have the old design. Good luck - great mower!

Not sure about the CMM1000 but for the CMM1200, the cover comes off with just a regular phillips screwdriver (four screws I believe). The battery should be fairly simple to replace from there.

I too have had a CMM1200 for a few years and it seems that I have to purchase a new charger every two years. Don't know why, and I'm not a repair-type person, but I think my next mower is going to be MM875 12 amp. Tethers to a cord, but no battery charger, and it's 20+ pounds lighter.

How do I replace the CMM1000 battery? What tools to get the mower cover off?

I solved the problem!!! Apparently the charger can be plugged into the mower upside down. Try flipping the plug and plugging it in again. Here is the explanation on the Black and Decker website: http://support.blackanddecker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5182/~/plugging-in-cmm1200-charger

I'm having the exact same problem. Although my charger was somewhat inconsistent before it died completely. (For about a month the light would come on on the charger about 3/4 of the time when I plugged it in.)

My original battery got to a point where I could not mow my entire yard on a single chargew after 3 years. I purchased a new battery but kept the original as a back up. This way even if the new battery gets to a point where I can't mow on a single charge All I'll need to do is swap the battery and finish the yard.

My experience was the same, after a couple of months of use , the battery also went dead and will not charge, not sure if it is the battery or the charger, not sure where you brought this from, you could call Worx to found out, Worx prroducts has the worse quality there is, check out the reviews at amazon, most people who owns a worx grass trimmer have their battery goes bad in a couple of months, I am like other, I was fool by their commercial, I will never buy their products again, and I want to let every one know, don't waste your hard earn money on any worx products.

I would replace the charger. If you have a new battery, the charger you have now may have a defect. My laptop is 7 years old with original battery. But so far it's been working fine with this charger that was indeed very inexpensive.

This mower comes with a charger unit. You just plug it in. I haven't had to charge mine yet and I've owned it for 3 months.

My charger does the same thing as long as the battery is still able to charge I wouldn't get a new one. I'm working on 8 yrs with the original battery in my mower.

The battery on this Drill/Driver isn't designed to be charged continuously, it will fail(go bad) if you do this. Which unfortunately sounds like what happened in this situation. It could also be the charger that failed. Either way, this does not sound like a cheap and easy fix. The batteries were cheaper 2 years ago, I did not need to buy a replacement battery for my drill/driver up to this point.

I have not had that issue. I bought a new one a couple of weeks ago off of Amazon for $20.00 that came with the charger new. I only needed the charger. I did not see on the manufacturers website the ability to purchase just the charger for this model.

When i bought the batteries i also replaced my charger because the charging light wasnt working. i suggest replac the charger asi did. buy enough batteries to switch out, keep fresh ones capped. when not in use pull batteries out of tool leaving it uncapped. completley discharge batteries before recharging them. hope this is helpful.

I'm like Phil - I had to buy a new mower. My battery lasted a little over a year. I've read other comments that said the same. One person did mention that they contacted Ryobi and they sent him a new battery because they know this is a problem. I wish I would have tried that before giving the mower away. I kept my battery charging at all times - maybe that was the problem? I now own a gas mower and it actually isn't as painful or messy as I remember it being when I was younger and it uses very little gas.

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.

My best guess is to contact the company. They seem to be very active in gathering consumer support as they e-mailed me twice asking me to rate their product. I gave them two separate reviews, both rating the product as excellent and I am sure they will replace the charger.

Hi, We have had our back and decker for cm1936 for two years with no battery issues. We always keep it on the charger when not in use. Shockingly, our older 10 year old black and decker battery mower will still mower is still useful and will mow about 1/8 of an acre if the grass isn't high. If you have a small lawn, around 1/4 acre these are ideal

Hi! I have an older model on which the lights never turn green. For my charger it usually takes 12 hours (overnight) to charge up the battery pack. Once fully charged,I can mow for an hour or so. This probably doesn't help too much -- I guess you could test the battery with a voltmeter if you have one to see if it's actually charging. Good luck -- hope it works out...

The one we bought runs for quite a while - Maybe it is defected. I did three lawns with it. I am very satisfied with mine. Maybe yours is defected - call the company - they may be able to replace the battery - check if the battery is fully charged. hope this may help - check if the battery is all the way in

Perhaps the charger isn' ' t working - this seems to be a problem. I have had some problems with this red lightNot staying on enough, at least to my satisfaction. Never let the mower sit for a year without charging
