My battery is low on my Snapper lawn mower, (U1-7 battery).
I want to connect cables to my truck battery and the other end to the lawn mower battery to charge it. Is this okay to do? Most informative will receive "BEST."

Check if your truck battery is the same voltage and Ampere-hour (AH) as the lawn mower. If it's of the same voltage but differnent AH it's fine because lead acid batteries charges with a constant voltage. It wouldn't over charge even if it's fully charged, but if your truck happen to be on a 24V battery, don't attempt to quick charge your 12v lawn mower battery with it, may over heat and swell like a ballon. The AH for lead acid battery isn't much an issue here not unless your lawn mower battery is not a lead acid type. Just remember to use proper jumper wires and keep engine running while charging otherwise you may find two flat useless batteries.

I have an 85 Honda Big Red 250 with a shot battery. The ATV repair shop said that if I put a lawn mower battery on it, it will eventually mess up my starter and/or alternator. Is there any truth to that?...or is he just trying to sell me one of his? The 3-wheeler is like 22 years old, and I don't wanna put that kind of money into it.

Check and see if the batteries are of the same voltage output.

I have a Black & Decker 19" cordless mulching rear bag mower, CMM1000. I need a replacement battery charger, where online can I buy one?

You just need to get in touch with Black & Decker (link posted below). Did you lose your charger or did it stop charging? The early versions of the mower were recalled because of the charging circuit inside the mower blowing out (and sometimes catching fire). There are instructions on how to determine if you're covered under the recall but I can tell you that if you look on the metal decal on the rear of the mower you will find embossed into the metal a "level" number. Levels one thru four were recalled and you get new charging stuff free!

Totally ignore the people telling you to use other chargers! They don't understand the mower you've got and their advice will destroy (at the very least) the 24 volt battery pack!

edit:

Decided to add some details on the charger for this mower. The part you need is *not* the charger, the actual charger is built into your mower and (looking inside with the cover off) is located next to the 'key' circuit board or built onto the 'key' board depending on what level (version) of the mower you have. The big black 'wall wart' (transformer) is just to supply power to the charger and changes voltage and amperage based on signals sent from the actual charger. That's why it has three wires-one is hot, one is common ground and the third is signal. Also all level 4 and newer mowers have a thermal breaker mounted in the battery pack! Attempting to 'hot shot' charge the pack off non-standard chargers will blow the breaker and you get to also replace the pack (It's epoxied between the two batteries that make up the pack).

Just so you know I've been using this model since it first came out (and the deck/key were green not orange). I sold my first one to my next door neighbor when I moved. Bought a new one around 1999 and used it until it was destroyed along with everything else in a house fire (caused by a candle-not the mower<g>) in early 2005. My current one I've had since August 2005 and weekly mow my 3/4 acre yard with it (front in the am, charge until dusk and then the back). This has got to be the best mower ever made-no gas, oil, plugs, filters etc. Just unplug, shove the key and GO!

Ok my bicycle has dual 55 watt fog lights on there i use at night (there VERY bright), and i was wondering what i could use that is self contained on the bike to keep the battery charged up?

Also i have a battery charger but i dont wanna be dependent on it for my bike lights.

for 29 dollars at Northern tool you can buy a solar battery charger that puts out 1.8 amps during the daytime. If you can park your bike in the sun or just the battery and charger...I have used this system successfully on 12volt boat batteries for years...but it is just a trickle charger
