Like an old-fashioned treadle sewing machine, I mow my grass with an old-fashioned reel-type push mower. Not only is it much easier on the knees to turn, but it is also easier to push uphill on the slope, than my heavy gasoline mower was before it crapped out. I wish I switched to the reel-type push mower decades ago. Perhaps it gives me more exercise too, in a knee-friendly way, because it works better (scissors action) when moving quickly.

And BTW, My PW2 CRP-diags-boot-loops with the LiPo removed now too. I will charge it with an external LiPo charger and try again.

I just removed the battery frame, and now the amber LED just blinks. It cannot find an "authentic amazon battery" (the ID chip on the internal battery circuit board)...

The LiPo is now plugged into its FPV quadcopter charger. I will try all this again with a dead battery later, with CRP disabled, to see if the PW2 can charge a dead battery without looping.
