The mower just stopped working, it has an good 80V lithium battery, a PCB which is on a substantial heat sink and covered in resin but I can make out what look like 7 IGBTs, a few capacitors and a relay. No apparent overheated or bulging components.
There is no movement when the control is squeezed and it gives out a double bleep when activated.
The 80V brushless motor cogs as one would expect, has 8 permanent magnets on the rotor and probably 7 pars of coils on the stator.
A replacement PCB is listed at over half the cost of a replacement mower at £340.
I think the motor is probably alright but cannot think of a way of testing it, It has 3 power wires and a ribbon of 7 control wires.
The Q code on the motor shows:
GGP Code:;Power:1500W;Voltage:80V;RPM min:3000;RPM max:4000;Order number:5010009578;Q.ty pcs of order:1098;Serial number:151225-U10;Supplier Code:30001334;.
I wonder if there is any chance of finding a cheap generic motor control PCB
Stiga-Mountfield-Greenworks say return to dealer (out of warranty) and dealer says it is unserviceable.
I guess I can use it as a wind generator if I can find a propeller :-)
