Does the mower engine also charge the battery (like a car) or is the only way to charge it by plugging it into the electricity supply.

Sorry, the motor does not charge the battery. It is only charge by plugging it into a wall socket.

No charger. One uses a charger that came with the item that the battery goes with. I had to hook up two batteries and put them in the case for my electric lawn mower. The charger came with the mower.

yes. the battery is not a memory battery you should never charge it for more than 24hrs and if it sits for a long time without use you need to charge it ever 30 days or so (like in the winter) this is what i have read on the battery that was also tru with the original battery that came with the lawn mower.

Yes. The battery can be charged either separately or while on the mower. Battery is fairly large (you can actually see the battery handle on the image).

Don't know about the motorcar question. The only way I have charged it is through an outlet.

no problem charging on US electric. the grass catcher stays on very well during use, but comes off with nearly no effort when you need to empty iy. the blades have not gotten stuck on me yet under electric power, but when using as a non powered push mower they do bind up from time to time in thick grass. I have no idea where to get the battery. i did see one here on amazon for $150 (wow). I do need a second battery as the main battery is not enough to cover my whole lawn. i get about 2.3 of it done. i don't know the exact size of my lawn but it is typically about an hour mow from start to finish

Yes, of course. The motorcycle will automatically charge it as you ride. You can also use a 12V trickle or float charger to recharge it if the battery is not used in a situation that recharges it as it's being used or if the motorcycle is not used often.

There are many different types of lawn mower batteries. However, all of them have a "post" or other type of connection for the red and black wires to connect to. Check the existing red and black wires attached to the battery from the lawn mower. You should attach the charger cables where these existing wires are attached to the battery, being careful to connect red to red (positive) and black to black (negative).

Overkill for just a lawn mower, likely yes. If you know the battery is low a battery charger is cheaper and has the additional utility of being able to charge/condition batteries that are low but not out, this does come at the cost of not being mobile.

I no longer have my mower, but I did not have a problem with the battery. I tried not to have it charging longer than 24 hrs, but often forgot about it. I had other problems.

yes, it grounds as you bolt it on. i used mine to charge a 12v battery that ran my pump for my pond.

I'm very sorry for those of you who need to remove the battery to charge it, but that is not a viable option at all as the connection for the charger is a somewhat permanent part of the mower and it would require a rather extensive disassembling of the unit each time. Perhaps you could consider a long outdoor extension cord, but the mower and charger need to be kept in a dry place. I received my CMM1200 two days ago (and already donated my old gas self propelled to Habitat for Humanity) and hope to have the same good experience as so many others. Thanks to everyone who provided information for this purchasing decision!

We charged ours exactly as the instructions told us. We had the battery indoors all winter and charged it once a month. Yet it still only lasted one mowing season. We went back to gas powered.

The battery is sufficiently charged when installed. When you start the car, the battery should charge normally. I have had no problems with the battery.

AC adapter that comes with the mower. I have been using mine all summer and have not had to charge it yet.

Hi Jen, We have only used it plugged in. My husband thinks you can charge it and use it while charged. I will tell you it has saved us a towing expense on 3 occasions. Twice with a dead battery. So dead....it wouldn't charge. Once a bad alternator. We used the quick charge function and it worked like a charm so that we could get it to the shop. Good luck.

The mower does not come with its own electric cord. One has to buy one of the length you need to cover the area you will be mowing. It does have wiring from the handle (where you attach your cord) down to the motor.
