Well a replacement core arrived today. Did some quick swap over of the basics to get the new core running and 15 minutes later had a successful dock. That’s how easy it should be.
Unfortunately I spent many frustrating hours trying to troubleshoot a broken core and was getting quite sad. Onwards and upwards now, maybe I can get it to do some good clean up of the yard after yesterdays 60mph winds (well maybe after my lawn ceases to be a lake).
Congrats on the new core! Sorry the initial experience was so frustrating, but like you were saying, hopefully it’s nothing but smooth sailing and automated lawn care from this point forward!
I think @cobradunn probably nailed it. The 2 Amp to get a dead battery some enough juice to power up for wireless charging and be a long term battery tender/maintainer vs the 7A for faster wired charging. Although closer to 15A would be ideal.
It definitely would be a cost saving measure. I suspect that you should really charge on the dock, it is way faster and that’s how it is designed. I ran into the core not being able to recognize the dock at all along with a few other issues.
I have one of each charger now so can compare, the 7.7A charger is way more substantial (it’s the one on the right). Hopefully the majority of users shouldn’t need it.
Yeah, everything is sorted out that can be sorted out. I’ve got the leafblower and the lawnmower (not pro), only used the leafblower so far and it’s done its job wonderfully. The lawn, unfortunately with the recent weather is a lawn lake, so I haven’t had a chance to mow yet.
