Can I connect it to my lawn tractor's battery (under the seat)? I use the tractor with a snow plow blade in winter and leaf-mulch in fall.

Yes you can. I bought these a few weeks ago. Took 10 minutes to install using the supplied wiring. The temperature cannot be regulated, but this is not a problem as they only become pleasantly warm, not hot. You will need to wear gloves over them to feel their effectiveness.

The gloves I have connect to my motorcycle battery and yours should connect to the battery on your vehicle

Used it for one season so far and the battery does the whole lawn. We have an average size lawn in a subdivision and it is flat. If you have hills, you might want to get a self propelled mower. I picked up leaves with it a few weeks ago and the battery is still working good.I see replacements on eBay for 99 bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Decker-36V-Battery-for-CM1936-SPCM1936-and-CTL36-Mowers-RB-3612-NEW-/301056042900?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item461856a794

You can use the battery, but it may not be a deep cycle. If the battery is for starting a gas operated mower it is not. If you are going to have a load that discharges the battery to low levels, it is better to have a deep cycle. I use an old car battery to run led lighting in my storage shed at night, but the battery never gets discharged very much, and to keep my deep cycle batteries for my camp trailer charged during the winter.

If the battery can be recharged for running a cordless lawn mower, I see no reason why it couldn't serve in the way you mention.

It can be connected directly but it is recommended to have a fuse or circuit breaker so that any fault with the blower doesn't set your battery on fire.

Yes. If you had a radio before the wires should be there. If not you will need at least one long wire to the positive side of battery and just ground any where close to radio. I used a small lawn mower battery for power and mounted close. Lasted all day.

Hi Chas,Sorry for the delay, I could not log in to Amazon for weeks.The blower works with any DC12V source capable to provided the amperage required to drive the motor.I would however not connect it to the battery directly because of the power consumption of the motor, that may drain your battery if you forget to switch it off.Therefore my recommendation is to connect the blower to a switched and fuse protected circuit that only powers up when the generator charges the battery.I hope this helps.TT2648

Hi Jenny B.,The battery is inside the mower housing and can ONLY be charged in the mower.There is a cord that plugs into a power outlet on one end, and into the mower at the other end.BTW, I hope you read my review on this mower: it's terrible!! (Got rid of mine.)Let me know if you have any questions....I'd talk you out of getting one.

I've seen some discussions where there was a regulator required for use with solar chargers in some situations. Had the same issue with my lawn tractor; no charge after 8 hours in the sun. But it works fine for other batteries... go figure. May want to ask someone at your cycle shop about how to use this. And the other responders are right, if your battery is stone dead this thing isn't gonna help you. I found a 6A Stanley charger at Lowe's for $25 to use on the lawn tractor.

it has a red and black slotted connector that slides onto the battery prongs. if your battery does not have the prongs you can get adapter slotted connector that will crimp to a short piece of wire and attach an alligator clip. this will connect to the battery post (ie mower or cycle batt)

It will work fine. We've similar winter temps in Minnesota and mine's worked great. Simply connect to the battery, plug it in and wait for spring. It usually comes eventually.

The connectors are poorly engineered crap. The best way to get around it is to lift the battery out of the housing and use the 3 prong plug that you should have gotten with the mower. It's a PITA. If they were really so environmentally friendly they'd have used Lithium Ion batteries and included a "smart" charger. Speaking of chargers, the one supplied will cook your battery if left on too long. Check to see if that's the case (Don't ask me how I know). I started using a timer in between the outlet and charger.

Yes you can but not advised. It will go down to a trickle charge when batteries are fully charged. ok

Yes - you can use a bolt/washer-battery terminal/ring terminal-washer/nut assembly to connect your wires to the battery. Spray with a corrosion resistant spray before assembling and after if the battery assembly will be exposed to moisture or moist outdoor conditions. Good Luck!
