Toro 88500 Li-ion Replacement Charger, 20-volt Max

What It Is

The Toro 88500 is a genuine OEM replacement charger for 20-volt Max Toro lithium-ion batteries, designed to recharge battery packs used in Toro cordless lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, and other 20V Max outdoor power equipment.

Fitment & Compatibility

This charger is compatible only with Toro 20-volt Max lithium-ion batteries (model numbers 88501, 88502, 88503, 88504, 88505, and similar). It will not work with 60V, 40V, or older 24V Toro batteries, nor with any other brand’s batteries (e.g., Ryobi, Greenworks, Ego). Before buying, check your battery’s voltage and model number—look for “20V Max” printed on the battery label. Also verify your charger’s physical plug type (US standard 120V AC) and that your battery’s charging port matches the charger’s connector shape.

Key Things to Know

• Genuine OEM part – This is a Toro-branded charger, not a third-party or generic alternative. It matches Toro’s original specifications and safety certifications.
• No installation required – Simply plug the charger into a standard wall outlet and insert the battery. No tools or wiring needed.
• Charging time – Typically 1–2 hours for a fully depleted 2.5Ah battery, but can vary with battery age and capacity.
• Common gotcha – If your battery won’t charge, the problem may be the battery itself (dead cells or BMS failure), not the charger. Test with a known good battery before replacing the charger.

Should You Buy It

If you need a direct replacement for a lost, damaged, or malfunctioning Toro 20V Max charger, this is the correct OEM part. It’s a reliable, no-hassle option for owners of Toro 20V Max cordless equipment who want guaranteed compatibility and safety. For users with other battery platforms or older Toro systems, look elsewhere.
