Any Cub Cadet dealer should be able to get them for you.

Is that for the 56 volt 60 amp battery for the new 42E zeroturn?

You need new batteries for a 2023 model already or are you considering a spare set to swap out?

Replacing bad batteries on a 2023 model with 2.4 hours that Cub Cadet will not warranty. Still talking with Cub Cadet on this. But want to see my options.

Remember, whoever you’re dealing with has a supervisor/boss and so do they. Peons can’t necessarily satisfy your requests so escalation is your friend. The Superintendent of my Division taught me that 40+ years ago. It’s rarely failed to get the desired results.

I can't even find the 56v battery in the parts lookup. The 56v charger is 519.64 thru Cub Cadet.
The 48v battery was 1,400.38 but currently not available.

The Cub Cadet dealer quoted me $1056 for both ( requires 2 28 volt batteries in parallel) ..I'm still trying to get Cub Cadet to cover the cost

 

[Harry Crump]

The question is how do you get in touch with a supervisor or decision maker? I got put on hold for 45 minutes and I just hung up. I'm sure that was on purpose

if MTD-CC doesn’t come through, there is a battery re-builder called Voltman, in Chicagoland somewhere if i recall.

i was in touch with him six or seven years ago about rebuilding some NiMH tool batteries (rather than buying Chinese replacements).

not sure he does Li-Ion batteries, but it might be worth checking. the google could likely find his contact info.

good luck!

Thanks but I'm going back with the same battery. It has a special connection at the top that plugs in the control moduke

I feel for you, no one should have to go through this crap.

$1,000 + for the batteries of a lawn mower? That'll buy a lot of gas, even at $5/gal.

I suppose it could be worse, the mower could have been made by Tesla. A friend of mine had to get his battery pack replaced on his 1st gen Tesla, battery pack was $25,000 + labor. (Sorry, out of warranty)

Not really. No-ethanol gas has been ~$4/gal for the last couple years where I live. That's 250 gallons. At 1 gallon/hr fuel consumption, that'd be 250 hours of run time. OP's experience with the battery is likely in the minority, and most would last far longer than 250 hours.

I'm not ready to sell all my IH Cub Cadets and get an electric mower yet, but the electric weedeater and chainsaw I have both have saved enough 2-cycle gas mix to pay for the batteries and then some.

I've seen the ads for yard tools by a company called EGO power. They have Zero turn mowers, push and self propelled mowers, chainsaws, blowers, string trimmers, etc, They all take the same 56 volt removable Li battery packs which makes total sense to me.

The bigger riders hold 6 or more battery packs & things like chainsaws, blowers, trimmers and such only need 1. You pull 'em out & put 'em in a charger. The Zero turn and larger mowers come with a charger that charges the batteries in the unit simultaneously.
I don't know how much their products cost, but they can't be cheap.

Bought the wife an EGO hedge trimmer. It’s impressive. Will run a long time, couple hours on a charge. And strong, cuts through Salal & Blackberries easily. Considering their electric weed eater but the Stihl won’t die…

I'm drawing the line at my battery operated weed eater, hedge trimmer, and leaf blower. I'm sticking with gasoline powered push mowers and Cub garden tractors for as long as I'm here..
