Hi all

No real surprise that these things are now on the menu, but are
any real folks ditching the petrol models to get
these?

What is the likely life span of the batteries? Have they been
round long enough to know?

The area I have to cut is around 15m x 6m. Anyone like to
recommend a model suitable for this?

When my lawn was that size I used a mains mower.

I just googled, and the first one I recognised was a Makita 18V, 15 inch
with two 5Ah batteries at £280.

My old mains mower was 900W. at 18V 900W is 50A. Which means the
batteries would last 6 minutes each.

A similar size mains one from Bosch is £137.
