Homelite 20" Cordless Electric Mower

[Terry]

I was looking to replace a battery on a Homelite 20" cordless lawn mower and found that the Homelite web site support didn't show any details on the batter replacement. So Sue pulled out a phillips screwdrive and pulled the cowling off and found two batteries wired together. It isn't a single 24 volt battery, but two 12 volt batteries wired up together.

I use very similar batteries to power the UPS for my computers.

It is not uncommon to use 2-12V batteries for 24V equipment- many of our military vehicles are set up that way.
