our battery says fully charge, but it dies 10 minutes into mowing. Any suggestions??

Defective Battery. I store mine in the house all winter. Over-exposure to the cold can deplete even an ION/Lithium cell faster than normal. Had it about three years, has enough charge to get my mid-sized lot/yard done. I recommend having a second battery if you can afford one anyhow, so both are ready to go if one dies out, the job can be finished. Still cheaper than using Gas, just as effective, if not more. Plus, if you can manage to get a solar charger, the possibilities are endless.

Most likely you will need to replace the battery for the same reasons stated by the others.

How old is the battery? Are you allowing the battery to get a full charge? It could could also be that your battery has a couple dead cells.

1. How old is the battery? 2. When you charge the battery, are you doing that while the battery is in the mower or have you lifted it out of the mower? 3. Under no load (mower running but cutting NO grass), are all 3 green LEDs lighted? 4. Are you mowing tall, thick or wet grass? If a battery shows a full charge under no-load and dies after 10 minutes, you may have to order a replacement 24-volt battery.

It is most likely a dead battery. How old is it? Was it ever left charging for a long time? Did it get left out in the cold? Was it topped off every month or so during the winter?

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.

Try charging the battery before buying a new battery. Mine needed replacing because the charge wouldn't last for more than 15min.

If they work fine in a drill or impact then maybe it is your saw. If they will not charge at all I have heard stories of other people having trouble with the chips in the battery going bad on Makita brand batteries. I think that is why i've seen people recommend that you fully discharge the battery befor charging it. I'm not an expert, but if that happened I don't know if their is any way to fix it. Check your lights on the charger and see if there's a error light. Maybe get a hold of the manufacturer. Good Luck!

Are you positive it is the cord and not the battery? A dead battery will not charge. If you're certain it's the cord, contact the manufacturer on the warranty and tell them what happened. I have had this cord for a couple of months and so far, no problems. It might just be your cord is defective. If you're not sure it's not the battery, you can tell by the little battery icon in the task menu tray on the bottom right of the screen when the cord is plugged in. If there is a plug next to it but it's not charging, it's likely your battery needs to be replaced. Also, make sure the cord is fully connected at every juncture. My cord tends to slip out of the outlet sometimes and the connection to the power box loosens sometimes. Another thing to look for is the green light on the power box. If that is on when it is plugged in, the cord is still getting power. If that's off, it's dead. If you want the cord "asap", you will have to order another one. Not likely the manufacturer will act quickly. They aren't expensive. You might end up spending just as much in shipping costs. If the battery is the problem, they sell the battery on Amazon too. Just turn off your computer and remove the battery. The model number on the battery should be there. Just type it into the search window on Amazon and it will come up. I bought both within the last 9 months. One more thing. Make absolutely sure the cord you are using is for your computer. If you still have it, check the model number on the cord that came with the computer. Type it into the Amazon search window. I was using the wrong power cord for a while and it died and I got this one because it was the exact model number of the one that came with my laptop.

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...

i have the 10 watt solar panel which is properly charging the battery. Check the charge light inside to make sure it is charging in sunlight. make sure the wires are not reversed as it will not properly charge. Mine has been working for about 5 months

Probably not the answer you seek but my suggest is to call Home Depot or Lowes. Both stores would know if the correct charger for the battery as well as if this is right or wrong. All Dewalts that we have ever owned always blink red while charging and then stay green once fully charged. God Bless You with a fast solution.

Marjorie, could you let me know what is the model number on the riding mower? I will be able to cross reference to a suitable battery afterwards. Being a full sized machine, I would say that a 12volt 5amp battery (the one from this webpage) would be insufficient to run it.

i started out unplugging the charger when the lite turned green. battery would not hold a charge. now i just leave it plugged in and this seamed to have solved my problem. only time will tell how long the battery will last. i paid $115.00 for my trimer, a new battery cost almost $100.00. i guess worx has to get their money oneway or another. my question is if the battery cost that much how well is the rest of the trimmer made. again only time will tell. my trimmer is only three months old. good luck

Not sure. I would guess that means the battery is not being fully recharged. That would explain the lack of battery life. You should be able to edge and trim an average size lawn without a problem.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

It sounds like something may be defective or the battery is dying out, as it should only take a couple hours to charge. I cannot recall it taking more than hours. You may want to use a power block instead of a computer to charge it to make sure the problem isn't with say a weak laptop battery.

call them and tell them what is happening..........my problem ended up being a spit in the rubber casing of my electric cord about an inch from the end where it connects to the computer and therefore it was providing the full power of energy to charge the battery, so I don't know whats causing the problem for your battery to fully charge...........hope all goes well for you

My lawn's so small I've never totally discharged my bat. However, my orig-inal battery had to be replaced after 3 mths. Wouldn't recharge. Easy, friendly service from Worx. Bat would recharge overnight everytimeI used mower. Hope this helps your decision.

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.
