Electric conversion of an old Toro lawn mower.
How to charge the battery on a Toro 550 self propelled mower ...
No it isn't recommended taking the battery out or trying to charge it without having the proper charger. You need the charger that plugs into the mower and home. If you don't have it than you need to get the model and serial #s off the mower(usually located on the back) You may have to remove the bag to see it. Depending on those #'s the charger will run anywhere from 18-45 dollars.
If you can see the terminals on the battery you should be able to clip on to those terminals with a charger. Red to Red and Black to Black. Plug the charger into the wall as your last step. Avoid looking straight down at a battery when attempting to connect chargers. You should wear some safety glasses, just in case. They can blow up but it's rare. Remember Red to Red and Black to Black.
