solar lawn mower

Step 3: Connecting the wires

locate the positive and negative terminals on each battery and connect the wires accordingly .it uses two 12v batteries connected in series circuit and you have to undo that connection .and wire it in parallel circuit to charge .then you must undo that and reconnect it to mow

You could use a large 12volt automotive relay and not have to mess around with moving wires for charging. Attached is a wiring diagram. I saw this on Hackaday.com.

You only need a double pole double throw switch to be able to switch between charge and mowing.

Your schematic will work if you don't have the panel mounted to the mower. I guess I was thinking of leaving it mounted to the mower.

Add a three pole switch and have the third pole disconnect the solar cell in mow position.
