Battery is located under the panel on the handle. Fold the handle forward to make accessing the battery easy. The battery box is held in place by 2 short bolts. Remove the bolts and slide the box to the left (if you are behind the mower where you would be if you were pushing it to mow the grass) Note the orientation of the battery when it is in the box so you can place the new battery in the same orientation. Un-clip the battery cable and set the old battery aside (to be recycled properly) and then clip in the new battery. The connector will only allow the clip to go on one way so you don't have to worry about positive / negative. (just to be thorough, note that the red wire should be connected to the red wire on the mower and the black to the black) Place the battery back in the box and place the box back in position and slide it to the right. Replace the 2 bolts. Charge the battery for at least 24 hours before using it. Took about 5 minutes to replace the battery.
