For a landscaping service I imagine battery run time would be a challenge? The electric mowers I’ve seen can run 2-3 hours on a charge. That’s more than enough for personal use but won’t last the whole day if you’re a landscaper. And charging while they’re on the go seems hard as well.
Perhaps there’s options with large swappable battery packs.
- Grazester 3y agoWhy no simply add more battery. I own a cast aluminum gas mower that weights about 80lbs. If these plastic owners 70lbs of batteries I bet they would last the day. That gas owner is 28 years old. I would if a battery operated plastic one would have lasted me that long?
- adgjlsfhk1 3y agoswap-able battery is probably the answer here. You don't need the structural rigidity of a car and you have a truck/garage to store the other battery in.
- cookingmyserver 3y agoThere is a youtube channel that covers this. It works really well for him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93F08kdiOfE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93F08kdiOfE He can charge his mower while between jobs and while using other tools. I would say it works for companies that do mostly residential mowing in sunny places. If you were a larger landscaping business you would probably want at least two crews with different setups: Heavy duty gas equipment for larger yards or tough first time mows and a battery setup for residential "maintenance" mowing.
- cowsandmilk 3y agoNearly every landscaping brand has backpack based battery systems that set you up with tons of power. And you just toss in extra charged batteries as needed. Lawn care companies have historically carried gas cans, nothing blocks them from carrying batteries. https://opereviews.com/ryobi-40v-backpack-battery-system-review/ https://opereviews.com/ryobi-40v-backpack-battery-system-rev...
