Battery driven lawnmower + tools.

[Efour]

I dunno if they are a big thing in the UK but here it's popular.

Anyone got experience with any of these at any voltages?

Ryobi do a system 36v 2x18v I assume as do a plethora of no name Chinese companies. All between 18 and 40v

Other tools that share the same battery Inc strimmers, hedge trimmers, drilldrivers etc.

Bosch and black and decker also do systems.


Other than pitiful, I assume running times, 15 to 20min on a lawnmower? Does anyone have experience of these?

Anyone to avoid.?

I have about 600m2 of grass to chomp max

I've probably greatly over estimated 600m2..

But it's still at least 400m2... Not small

How much are the battery mowers? Might be worth stretching to a small robot one?

Mine is literally the best bit of tech i've owned since the original iPhone, who likes cutting grass twice a week? nobody that's who!

Yeah we are moving onto that idea now but it's double the cost at least we have incredibly harsh weather here at winter so I'm wondering how the ground cabling will fare.

Plenty of people here have them but I've mostly seen top of the range ones.

Oh well ended up getting this McCulloch ROB 800 Was on sale and came with all we will probably need so... Moderately happy. Not super GPS Fancy or nonsense but hopefully it will chop for 5 years....

My rear garden is only 270 sqm and I wouldn't entertain a battery-powered lawnmower, unless it came with multiple batteries.

That was my final decision too.

THe prices of some of the Larger batteries in sweden choke me up. Especially if you wanted 4 or so....
