I have a Black & Decker CMM1000 5HP 24V cordless lawn mower for many years.
I heard this is also sold by Sears as model #900.370520.

Now this mower stalled a few times mowing same 50'x 30' backyard.

Can you tell me if I can add fluid to this 24V battery (lead acid ?)?

Can you tell me where to find replacement of this battery?

Thank you.

This 24V 20Amp Battery I found at are quite expensive:

1. InterState Batteries, #AT00L911, $169
2. Ace Hardware, ACE# 29604001, $129

Is there any good way for me to test, which is the real problem, the battery
or the motor?

Thank you.

It appears it is a lead acid battery. I found one for $119.00 Check
around.

I suggest you remove it, check the acid level and you should be able to
have an auto parts store check it out for you.

Just out of curiosity how old is your battery? I just bought one of
those mowers this year. I have not peeked at the battery yet.

Thank you, Joseph.

We got this mower is around 1998 from Home Depot. They no longer have it.
Can you tell me where you purchased your battery?
Can you post a picture?
Is this battery sealed?

Also, I am unable to unscrew to remove to sharpen the blade.
Can you tell me I should turn the nut counter-clockwise to unscrew, correct?

I have not yet purchased a battery for it. I just looked for one on the
web. I found:

http://www.acehardwareoutlet.com/(ig3azrazweppyo55opnpwy55)/LargeImage.aspx?SKU=296040001&Image=296040001h.JPG&height=121

It appears that the battery is sealed, but I am not certain. The
instructions do not include much in the way of battery maintenance.

I believe it should turn so that when the mower is running it will
tighten the blade. I have not removed mine as I have just bought the mower
and only used it once.
