This is weird. Last year i changed my batteries to lithium ion, and this year I slid the tray out and charged all 4 batteries to full individually and restored the wiring, slid it back in. An hour later, I decided to plug the aftermarket charger in I have, and POP! Loud spark at the charger port and now the mower is stone dead. I tried bypassing the lockout circuit by snipping off the red, yellow and black connector and when I simply touch the red and yellow it arcs again so the fuse I put in will likely blow.
EDIT: I put a 5 amp fuse in the connector RED and YELLOW wires like this video and it is holding fine. I can't charge out of the original connector, but I can charge directly on the end of the 4 12v batteries so yeah, crazy that this connector runs the whole mower.

Charge port is discontinued- anyone having luck finding other replacements?

I just wanted to drop back in here to thank you so much for this battery replacement video. I replaced the one that led me here. And then I just replaced a 2nd one. The first was really difficult, took 3 days with breaks. The 2nd I just did, and it took an afternoon. Unlike this old picture I have on this account, I am actually 66 yo. Again thank you so much. edit, wrong video but you know the one you did.
