Lithium-ion powered lawnmowers

[moyesboy]

'er indoors can't start our knackered petrol mower, so I'm looking at maybe a battery one.

Anyone got any experience of these?

Reviews are mixed between fantastic, and useless for the same brand.

I was looking at a bosch that was 34cm cut, and one that was 37cm cut. The smaller had rave reviews, buit the larger had rubbish reviews despite coming with two batteries.

I was wondering if its the same story as battery drills where the main problem is a rubbish cheap charger. The battery seems to be a 10s 2600 li-on that might last better if charged with my cellpro10S?

Also I bet the batteries are completely knackered if you leave them fully charged in your shed during a frost!

The cost of a replacement battery is slightly more than the discounted cost of a new mower complete!
Soon I'll have to get the grass cut so I can go flying!

My neighbours got a Bosch one and says it's brilliant, I thought it would struggle with the longer grass but was very surprised by how well it worked! I guess if you look after the batteries they should be ok.

We have the 34cm Bosch one and it's a cracker. Quiet and powerful too.

I too have the smaller Bosch mower and it is very good but only niggle is limited run time between charges - I guess half tennis court size on a charge.
