    Convert Ryobi RM300e to Lithium battery

    I believe heat is the cause for many of these battery failures, I truly feel that storing the battery at 40% charge inside a cool climate controlled home is the safest option. Under cover away from the home is perfectly fine in cooler months but drastically increases risks with any heat above...

    Convert Ryobi RM300e to Lithium battery

    Just an update, it's been 6 months since I have been using the eBike battery and I couldn't be happier with the results. I do think it's worth pointing out that even though the gauge on the battery will read a full charge, it may take an hour or longer for the charger to shut off the fan and...

    Convert Ryobi RM300e to Lithium battery

    The wire that I spliced was the connector that fed into the relay switch, it's the only connector with a red/yellow/black wire going into it, leave the black wire cut, and splice the yellow/red wires together, throw away the relay switch which feeds into the old charge plug, I also tossed out...

    Convert Ryobi RM300e to Lithium battery

    Convert Ryobi RM300e to Lithium battery

    I just want to share my experience with a successful conversion I did to my Ryobi RM300e to Lithium. My mower is about 18 months old when the stock battery started losing capacity and would no longer mow our 1/3 acre lot on a single charge. I found the following video extremely useful to do...

    TB30R leveling deck

    I stood on the left side of the deck to get it to "bend" back to level, wasn't pretty but seemed to do the trick, I also sharpened the blade with a dremel and the cut is fairly close to level now, not perfect, but good enough to keep using the mower. There are a couple parts of the yard that I...

    TB30R leveling deck

    I have a TB30R and it's about 2 years old... just started noticing that it's cutting uneven with the right side of the deck starting to sag. What is the fix? The mower is in excellent condition, but don't want to replace it unless I have no choice... really a shame because this has been a great...
