Questions and answers
My 3 year old RM300E is not charging, green light flashing on mover. no green light on charger when plug into the mover, batteries are new.
The Ryobi RM300E is not charging because the battery pack may be defective. A flashing green light on the mower and no green light on the charger indicates a charging issue. Try resetting the charger or reinserting the battery. If the issue repeats, test with a different battery. If the other battery charges normally, the original battery is likely defective and should be disposed of properly.

installed new batteries turned key on charging indicates two red bars mower will not move
If the Ryobi RM300E mower has two red bars on the charger after installing new batteries and won't move, the battery charge may be too low. The manual states that when the battery charge indicator is in the red zone, the blades will shut off, and the mower may become stranded. The solution is to turn the key switch to the off position and push the mower back to the charging location. Ensure the batteries are properly connected and fully charged before use.
