Most battery powered mowers’ charge lasts approximately 45 to 60 minutes, then the batteries need a few hours to recharge.
My very hilly lawn takes approximately 2 1/2 hours to mow with a gas mower, longer if I have to trim the edges and/or use one without self-propulsion. It also needs to be cut twice a week in the spring.
Using a battery-electric mower and line trimmer would mean I have to spend 2 full days a week in the springtime looking after my lawn. I also get a 2 1/2 bushel bag of clippings every 15 minutes when mowing, which likely would kill the battery more quickly if using the self-propelled feature.
I’ll pass on the battery mower, thanks.
Completely correct. I have the 80v trimmer, mower, chain saw, blower, etc. I have them all. I have ten of the 80v batteries and never run out. But I can say for a fact that if I load the loadable tools (trimmer, saw or mower) they eat the batteries right up. For example chopping leaves or tall grass with the mower. Boom, battery gone. Pull another of the 10 batteries and keep going. If you can't afford 10 batteries that's not going to work for you.
I got most of my tools with the 2-for-1 battery special. Sent in a mail rebate, got another battery in the mail. But I also destroyed a trimmer and mower and got new ones with new batteries. I keep all the batteries charged all the time and rotate them so they all get used.
