Having mowed several times I addressed a few little things. I added better connectors to battery charger and mower, the original one I pulled from my junk box was overheating so in the trash it went.
I also added a circuit to charge setup that will disconnect charger when charged and reconnect when battery is below a set value, so I can leave it and it will maintain full charge.
Another annoying item was shutting down while mowing, the seat switch was working too well, bumpy terrain causing switch to activate. After several attempts at adjusting I ended up adding a capacitor to cover short interruptions.
I now have about 1/2 seconds before shutting down, problem solved.
I clocked the speed of travel with GPS app, 7 MPH was recorded, this is also the speed I mow on the straight passes.
Temperature checks are good, so adding the fan is working to keep things cool.
