Here's what you need to know about properly recharging and maintaining your modern lawn
A new generation of electric lawnmowers is attracting people with the promise of getting the job done without buying oil and gas, wearing ear protectors and swimming in the mower exhaust in the afternoon.
Environmental awareness and advances in the performance of electric lawn mowers are convincing more people to buy them as an alternative to their noisy and polluting gasoline-powered ancestors.
But with this option comes the responsibility to take care of its core component: the lawn mower battery.
Lawn mowers with different batteries
There are at least as many types of battery-operated, cordless, electric lawn mowers as there are gasoline-powered ones.
From fully automatic lawn mowers that can navigate your yard by themselves, to ride-on mowers that can run for hours on a single charge, battery power can do everything in your yard.
So what is different about lawn mower batteries? Mainly size, quantity, and charging system.
Handheld lawn mowers, which comprise approximately 80% of the electric lawn mower market, are powered by rechargeable battery packs. Amplifier settings, run times, and charging times may vary, but all battery packs will need to be removed from the mower and Charge with an approved battery charger.
Riding lawn mowers can carry multiple large batteries that stay in place while charging, and they're built more like car batteries than the small battery packs that power push mowers.
Charging a cordless electric lawn tractor or riding lawn mower typically involves using a designated charger cable or charger that plugs one side into the wall and the other into the mower via the built-in charging port on the mower itself.
The battery on his lawn mower runs for about 90 minutes and takes half that time to recharge.
How to Properly Charge a Lawn Mower Battery
Every battery-operated lawn mower comes with a charger and instructions on how to get the most out of it.
Many suggestions, some contradictory, have been circulated about whether to keep the battery on the charger all the time, or whether to let the battery completely discharge before charging.
This means keeping the battery charged at 20 percent or more. Discharging it below that value will accelerate battery fading or slow degradation.
And while charging, disconnect when it reaches 100%.
Routine Lawn Mower Battery Maintenance Keeps Them Trouble-Free
During a normal summer mowing season, the average homeowner might mow their lawn weekly or twice a month.
The biggest issue is keeping them dry and keeping the mowing deck clean so the motor runs more efficiently and the battery lasts longer.
Speaking of batteries, there are some simple maintenance tips to keep them powering your Saturday lawn care regimen for years to come.
