I bought a push mower with electric start at an auction. It's got a small battery about 3"X5"X2" under a panel. I can not find any markings on the battery to identify the voltage, but the starter looks identical to one I had on a riding mower which blew a rod a few years ago. That rider had a 12 volt garden tractor battery. I assume these small batteries must also be 12v. But how the heck does one charge them? There are no terminals on the battery, and I am sure I dont need to rip it out of that housing every time it needs a charge. On the top of the mower is a plug that goes to the battery, and up to the key and starter. All I can figure is that there was some sort of mating plug that went in to that same wire and connected to a battery charger. Thats only a guess. This is the first electric start push mower I have ever seen.
Anyone have any ideas?
