Reviving a free, dead 12V cordless Black & Decker mower

Hi There: What a neat site and your projects are after my own heart!

Anyway, I have this mower (or a similar one) and I absolutely love it. Mine was 'dead' because the orange safety 'key' was missing. It's been running 4 years on the same as-found battery. I power it entirely off 5W or 10W solar panels that amazingly are 'plug and play' once you get the right connector. I've detailed it on this wikisorta page:
