My choice stands between, fixing the battery of the Robot Lawn Mower,, or use the push mower!
I got this Worx Landroid WG795E for free,, it had two waren out lead acid 12 volt batteries that I have replaced with Li-ion 18650 cell’s from old laptops.

Be aware that the shipping prices is worst case, until it know where to ship to!!

For 3$ a month, you get an extra weekly “What’s UP” update video. Just for my Patrons. The Support I resave on patreon is all used on stuff to make interesting videos on YouTube.
My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I’m trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.

Instead of just putting worst and best together you might want to use the software called "rePackr". You plug in the cell config and the individual capacities and it spits out fairly balanced combinations.
Maybe add another switch to cut off BMS when you re not using it during winter. This way it will not discharge the battery.
Your grass doesn’t even need cutting, except the edges the mover doesn’t reach.
raspbery pi 4 4gb with ros and make a smarter robot mower and use gps with lidar
You should have grouped the good batteries together in each parallel-group and so with the lesser batteries. That way the balance charger can remedy the inequities during the charge. By mixing the good batteries with the lesser batteries in the parallel groups, the lesser batties will pull the voltage down and so causing the charger to overcharge the good ones and cause the good batteries to try to equalize the lesser batters when not charging – especially during discharge.
Also, wrapping tape around the batteries completely around the sides will trap the heat generated by the cells during charge and discharge.
I love it when Morten swares.
Love how the mower has become a regular character on this show. I know I’d miss him, just assuming gender because he’s a tool, if he was replaced!!!
You should put a camera on the mower for a day, put it on YouTube! Maybe play it at 4x speed,
I have bought the cheap kapton tape, it is so thin the 50mm wide curls up to the point it is difficult to use! I say cheap, but it was$9 a roll, if it was just a bit thicker! It is great stuff to have around, conforms nice, very sticky, and handling lots of heat! Great video, hope all is well!
The world held its breath – hoping to hack into your lawn mower – shucks you hide the password :-0
This mower is quite like a Frankenstein experimentation, day after day ^^ "I will survive" could be the best soundtrack for the serie ! Never give up, dear mower… stay with us ! ! STAY ALIVE !! ^^ (At home)
I would have burned myself at least 10 times if i tried that much soldering and hot gluing work.
Did you see what LTT did? they made their own spot welder for the batteries, perhaps you could make something like that so you don't have to solder anymore? 😛
crappy robot mower without a camera.
I'll always watch your videos with 720p because you'll use 18650's ?.
What's the Danish expression for "Fudding up"? Look forward to your reply!
?
It would be a shame to throw out this functioning robot lawn mower out. Especially now that you've given it a good battery. Although maybe it needs some more thinking into how to balance the cells out. I know they are in parallel now and it shouldn't matter, but what if you had started the second row, but from the end of the lowest cells? (then of course starting from left to right again) Meaning one strong, one weak cell interchanged in one parallel pack, so the third row would be from strong to weak again, then from weak to strong and so on… Just a thought, I don't know how much this matters, I know that it technically shouldn't, but somehow I think it still could matter anyways.
Anyhow, I would try to keep this thing going for as long as possible – why throw out more money than you need to? And then have a new mower, which has its own problems and flaws that you'll have to fix after a summer season anyways?
Here we have a specimen of a focused morten from 7:07–7:19
When you turned to the camera i sort of expected the mower to creep up behind you ha ha 😀
I hope your solar panals are going mad with all the sunlight, supercharge the batterys lol.
It's a loverly day in u.k as well, so windows open and ventilate the house.
Kind of interesting how something that starts off as a tinkering project turns into something you don't want to live without…I've had my fair share of projects like that
The battery series are great, you should do more of them, like your home battery. How is that going?
That switch at the bottom will not be moved by the grass or other thing when the robot moves?
Nice video as usual Morten. Good to see the Little Menace up and about, causing trouble for another season…
look at the wolf-garten robot
