Did you show the manual to Lowe's customer service, because it specifically states that Kobalt products that are within the 5 year warranty period are to be returned to the place of purchase for repair or replacement. Kobalt is the Lowe's house brand, so unlike other brands where you return it...

First off, you need to rule out a bad battery, by trying another battery if you can. Based on what you've described you either have a faulty motor control circuit board or a loose/shorted wire someplace. I hate to be a Debbie Downer, but you may just have to warranty this mower.

I chuckled when I read the OP's dilemma in finding repair parts for his electric lawn mower. I just bought a Honda electric lawn mower and I can purchase every little part from Honda to keep it running forever. Honda publishes a complete parts catalog for every one of their products as well as...

https://powerequipment.honda.com/lawn-mowers So, as many of you probably know, Honda stopped manufacturing gasoline engine powered lawn mowers in 2023 and has replaced them with a new line of cordless electric mowers that use the same decks and self-propel belt drive systems (except the blade...

That little red piece might be some sort of latch that you can press to release it.

Yes, it is a 12 volt SLA battery that is rechargeable. Any 12 volt charger with SAE leads should work. If the battery will not take a charge, you will need to replace it. You may have a hard time finding a new OEM battery, but should be able to adapt a standard 12 volt 5 Ah battery, which is the...

Eleven years ago, this was my stable of lawn mowers: The Husky gasser on the right has since been gifted to one of my friend's adult sons, the little WORX on the left was gifted to my next door neighbor for his five year old son so that he could help daddy mow the lawn, the silver 90+ pound...

Yes, any Ryobi 40 volt battery will work, provided it fits in the battery compartment.

Sounds like a switch has gone bad somewhere. Either that, or a loose / bad connection.

The charger should not continue to charge the battery if it is already showing that it is fully charged per the indicator lights. What it means is that the battery is weak, and not properly holding a charge. So, it looks like the battery is a dud, and you should be able to replace it under warranty.

It could be a weak battery. As soon as the trimmer shuts off, push the button on the battery to see if still shows that all the LEDs are lit. If it doesn't, then that's the problem. How old is the battery and how many times has it been charged ?

I just saw this review (not mine) on the Greenworks website: "Great cleaning power, far away from an outlet! I've had the 2000psi/1.2GPM plug-in pressure cleaner (GPW2006) for a few years and it has served me well. This year, though, a car accident on our property left a mess that needed a...

For the first time someone has offered a cordless electric pressure washer with performance to rival the corded electric models. In fact this new model from Greenworks has the same performance specifications as its top of the line corded electric model with a maximum pressure of 3000 psi and a...

You will not find any cordless electric walk behind mowers that will last 35 years, and none that will mow 3/4 of an acre on a single charge. The mower itself could last over ten years if it has a brushless motor, but the batteries probably will not and are the big cost component of the mower.

No, polarity reversal at an AC power outlet will not affect the operation of a connected appliance, it will just pose a shock or fire hazard.
