Replacement Qualcast batteries

[scragend]

I was an idiot. Last time I put my mower away in the shed I removed the battery (as I always do) then put it down outside while I sorted the shed out and closed the door. I forgot to pick the battery up again and didn't notice for a few days until I spotted it in the garden. It just so happened that those few days had seen constant rain

I took the battery inside and let it dry out for a few days then I put it on the charger to see if it would charge. It doesn't.

So I need a replacement, but they seem to be impossible to find. Why do Qualcast make it so hard to get replacement batteries? I've already had to ditch a strimmer in the past because the battery stopped holding charge and replacements weren't available. I won't be using Qualcast cordless stuff in future.

The battery is a 36LB2601 if anyone knows where I can get one from. Otherwise I will have to treat myself to a new mower I suppose!

At over a £100 is it worth it.
buyspares and mowspares(both .co.uk) show batteries in stock for Qualcast mowers.

Thank you - I managed to find the right one on mowspares. But at £109.95 you're right - I am definitely questioning whether it's worth it!

I've probably got the winter to think about it; I can get away with using another mower until the grass stops growing. I have almost as many mowers as I have bikes...
