I have the 56 volt self propelled EGO mower and was very impressed

The replacement
cost for just the battery is over $300. Is this usual to wear out tht fast?
My mowing area is maybe a gtenth of an acre and my mowing need is modest.
I always completed it on one charge
though did get down to blinking red maybe a half dozen times.
But am loath to put $300 more into it, not knowing if it is the
battery or the charger.
To check, I disasembld the battery and lightly charged up any low
cells to match the
others (there was no significant mismatch anyway), but still the
charger wont charge it.
