richieb Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 We are three seasons in with a Ryobi 42 inch, 100 Ah zero turn. Cutting a shade under 4 acres which it cannot achieve in one charge. This is an older model at this point using 4x very large lead acid boat type batteries. It’s kept on the supplied charger 24/7. The mower itself, motors, controls have been flawless. A year in it wouldn’t hold charge and cut for more than a half hour. Ryobi CS attributed this to one bad battery in series and replaced all four at no charge. Delivered by truck on a pallet and it’s a couple hour job but doable. And once again Randy, the expert on each and every topic, is talking out his ***. You do not “just keep a couple spare batteries “ and throw ‘em in randomly. This is not a AA flashlight battery. The newer lithium powered mowers use a much smaller battery using up to six batteries. The price of all E mowers have increased dramatically in the three short years I’ve owned mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iteachstem Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Now when they start talking hydrogen fuel cells, then I'll start paying attention. Right now all of those electric cars/mowers/scooters/etc. are mostly powered by coal and nuclear plants... unless you have your OWN solar array on your property that recharges your things. (Only a small percentage of my Comed power comes from renewable) Check out the Toyota Mirai... the 2nd generation actually looks pretty sharp and it's Hydogen fuel cell technology. Sure, it takes some power to create the hydrogen... but you don't have millions of spent batteries to dispose of or other countries to rely on for essential raw materials for batteries. ...or cars on fire that can't be easily extinguished because of burning batteries. https://www.toyota.com/mirai/ 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom05 Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 It’s hard to fight progress . The battery powered stuff has improved tremendously .Yea I love my gas stuff, but battery powered equipment can definitely be the way to go in many situations . It’s not just a matter of being more environmentally friendly , which they are , (since only about 60 percent of generated electricity comes from fossil fuels ) Much of the time battery powered is just the best tool for the job , and that’s the real reason why people buy them . Many home owners just don’t want to fool around with gas engines ,deal with the maintenance , they may have trouble starting them , can’t fix them , or don’t want to . They want to grab and go , get the job done , then sit back and listen to the music from their Klipsch speakers 🤓 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
