I just received an advert-email touting the advantages
of their reel type, manual push lawn mowers.
It made me wonder if there is a battery-powered
unit available - as many other hand tools and yard
tools are now battery-powered.
I'm just curious, as my half-acre doesn't lend itself
to a 20 inch mower.

ps : Happy Victoria Day or May 2-4 as much of my
crowd here in Canada now call it.

If you search for battery electric cylinder mowers you will find lots.
Which will be suitable for half an acre I have no idea though. I canrCOt visualise areas like that. I think yourCOd need to take advice from a
dealer.

That said, the time it takes to cut with your present mower should give you some indication of what sort of duration yourCOre looking for and battery
size (or number of batteries).

Dunno Cylinder and Acres. Just me tuppence.

My garden is about 70 sq.metres (= 0.0172974 Acres) and I've got a
Makita battery rotary mower which readily swallows the juice from a
couple of 3Ah LXT batteries, so I keep a second set precharged to
complete the 30 minute job. For me they share duty being used in other
power tools round here.

I've considered getting larger cells, but the price of a second charger
is minor in comparison.

The previous 20 year old Honda 17" mower was Petrol, was lighter and was
more powerful. Until it died and disappointed.

I suspect tool batteries are probably not the answer for very large areas.

I'd love something straight out of science fiction where ye could sweep
a laser beam across the whole areas, and if by magic the whole job would
be complete in 20 seconds and the cuttings neatly evaporated.
