Electric Mower Longer Run-Time

Mower makers have been struggling to develop an electric rider that runs long enough to mow a large property. But the best has managed only 75 minutes. Now Recharge Mower is promising three hours of run-time with its The G2 mower model.

The G2 mower, which goes on sale next year, runs on a lithium-ion battery that holds a charge long enough to mow more than two acres, according to the president of Driven by Solar, which makes the Recharge Mower line of electric gear.

Unlike nickel-cadmium or sealed lead-acid batteries used in other tools and mowers, lithium-ion batteries last through more charge cycles and recharge faster.

And while the Ariens cost $2,200, Recharge Mower?EUR??,,????'?????<

Recharge Mower also has a lithium-ion powered electric push mower, which sells for $489.
