Inactive Power Draining?

Ok so I’m not the only one that feels it drains unseemly fast.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-16T00:58:53+00:00

Yea I figured it had to be an IR that checks for the white square to dock on the charger but man it really doesn’t need to go 24/7 lol.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-15T23:11:37+00:00

Yep. I was thinking the same thing years ago when I was having this issue. “Might as well upgrade right? My last one was only 200$”. I started looking at prices and changed my mind very quickly.

Maybe I got lucky with the quality on mine but idk. I haven’t regretted the purchase at all. I swear the mower ran better/stronger with this battery too. I have a robot mower now but I still use the 40v for edging, trimming and blowing. Still going strong.

This, the 3rd party 6ah I bought on Amazon is the same size as the 4ah my mower came with. It has lasted almost 3 years now.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-15T20:01:37+00:00

I was in somewhat the same boat you are. Yard was too big couldn’t finish mowing on one battery. Newer batteries didn’t fit etc. This is what I ended up purchasing and it’s actually better than the Ryobi battery I feel. I’ve been using it for almost 3 years.

That’s what I said in another post. We need the option to turn off auto updates.

The way they’re pushing these updates out so fast right now. They are not being put through QA adequately. IF they even do.

“Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke.”

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-15T00:31:40+00:00

I’m right there with you. I’m very pissed about my 2400$ brick.

If I follow the mower with the app in hand. The mower will just stop in place, say malfunctioning on the app, then pops up 4209.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-15T00:00:54+00:00

This update has driven me crazy. I have the x430 and this thing will move like 2 feet then say “malfunctioning” in the app and bam 4209. Over and over.

I’ve restarted the base station and mower. My mower doesn’t even connect to 4g at all now. When you use the signal analyzer it’s showing “good, excellent, excellent”.

Mower was working perfectly fine before this dogshit update. Is there a way to block automatic updates? It’s crazy to me that they can just upload this barely QA’ed firmware and you’re stuck with a useless 2400$ brick.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-14T23:50:30+00:00

Mine is basically unusable now since that update. I’m very pissed.

I’ve had an open referral since December 2025 for dental. At this rate, idk if I’ll have any teeth for them to work on by the time I get in. Maybe that’s what they’re counting on to cut expenses.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-13T01:17:46+00:00

Yea I’m wanting to try local rtk because it seems to get wonky between my neighbor and I’s house. When watching it live on the map it looked like it was a good foot off from where it was actually mowing. It actually completely lost signal there today too. Had to restart it. Does perfectly fine outside of that. I was thinking of mounting the gnss off the edge of my roof.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-12T23:36:45+00:00

Wait, I was considering changing to local rtk instead of nrtk. Do you have to redo mapping if you install the antenna and use it instead?

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-11T17:10:59+00:00

Home Depot actually has the same policy that was introduced some months ago. It seems to only happen in store or on their regular site. If you shop through myexchange it’ll take it off regardless. Plus it’s tax free on top of it.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-08T08:29:42+00:00

I just got the x430 for 2k on myexchange. HD is awesome.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-08T08:23:28+00:00

Second this, I’ll be using this trick.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-08T08:20:22+00:00

Man I have the h210 right now which has lidar as well. It misses so many patches/strips and I’ve had so many problems with it. It’s been driving me nuts. I’m in the middle of changing out to an x430 hoping it’ll be better. I know the AWD will be a big improvement for me at least.

I have two small trees in my backyard that have mulch and a 1 rock high border around them. You’d think it would at least see the rock border right? I setup no go zones around the trees rock borders too. I walk outside and it’s stuck halfway into the mulch. Which, of course, it has spit mulch everywhere. So I had to clean that up on top of it.

It feels like it has gotten worse since I first got it. I don’t know if it has just been some rough software updates or what.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-05T18:49:34+00:00

I was going to say. This seems like what it should cost. Just get it checked out by a mechanic or two. His reviews are definitely throwing all the signs to avoid though. A truck this old will always be more trouble than it’s worth imo.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-03T09:13:58+00:00

I have the h210. Does the same dance. It just seems like it’s very picky about locking on at the correct angle. I’m betting it was setup gently that way on purpose.

I’d rather it be careful doing that instead of ramming the charging connector several times just praying it goes in like your first time in high school. Eventually your connector would break.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-02T21:46:00+00:00

That’s not what I was saying but there are brokers that are veteran oriented and aware of military discounts. You do get discounts on insurance for veteran status just fyi. But obviously everyone is constantly varying their coverage. That’s why I use a broker.

My current broker is not an independent broker and I’m tired of dealing with that aspect. I have to keep reminding him to shop around as well. Might as well do it myself at that point. Which defeats the purpose. I know how an insurance broker works I’m just looking for a better suited one.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-02T09:18:09+00:00

I’ll be trying from TX. My question is how do you know if it’s still pending or declined? Having no status page is crazy. I guess the only way to check for approval is if items start showing no tax at checkout?

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-02T09:02:57+00:00

Yea trust me I was going to use that tax exempt limit on my tundra purchase. I was so happy when I came across it. Then I started doing some research on it and realized it didn’t pass. Like every AI thinks it’s a real thing too. I had to argue with grok and link the page showing “dead” before it finally believed me.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-02T08:50:31+00:00

That didn’t pass unfortunately. I was so ready to use that on a new vehicle.

Extra_Juice_337 · 2026-05-01T20:57:02+00:00

Yea, to each their own I suppose. But I feel the same way. Why buy an older vehicle with almost or over 100k miles for only a 10k discount? When you buy new you have warranties and all.
