how long does the battery last before needing a new one ?

My original battery got to a point where I could not mow my entire yard on a single chargew after 3 years. I purchased a new battery but kept the original as a back up. This way even if the new battery gets to a point where I can't mow on a single charge All I'll need to do is swap the battery and finish the yard.

After two years it started to gradually losing power. But it is still about 70% compared to a brand new one now after 3 years of use.

I bought mine almost 3 years ago and it is still working. I did buy another as a backup because I cannot do my whole yard on the charge of the one. I have 0.3 acres. The charge will run out sooner if you have to cut really long grass or wet grass or both =) I still really enjoy using the mower and not having to worry about gasoline.

I've had mine over a year and still strong. The previous battery that came with the mower lasted2 years but it was a slightly different model

I bought a second battery because my first only holds a charge for about 45 minutes to an hour, which isn't long enough for me to cut my front and back lawn. The new one lasts longer, but I do need to alternate between the two to get the lawn fully cut. Thick long grass also uses up the battery faster. My lawn is 3/4 of an acre so if you have a smaller lawn one battery might be all you need.

I have used my mower for just one year. The battery has sufficient power to run 40 - 45 minutes before it gets too depleted. A thicker wetter lawn reduces run time to 30 minutes. I would guess that the battery can be depleted and recharged several hundred times before needing replacement. I recommend that you buy a second battery and alternate between two.

i am in my 3rd season of ownership of the mower and battery, and both are still going strong - but i do have a major word of caution. The manual says to keep the battery charging when not in use and during the off-season and they damn well mean it! i had bought a spare battery 3 yrs ago also and was nonchalant in the off season and left it unplugged ; the next spring i went to use it and it was utterly dead and would not take or keep a charge. keep it in the charger at all times and you should be good for several years

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

Same as below. About 2-3 hours when new. Now after 2 years about an hour. Still works ok, so not too bad.

the battery is built in. you need to charge it before you use it. one charge lasts about 15 minutes or so.s

The battery is built in. I haven't had to replace mine, but the specs do state it is possible to replace when it stops holding a charge.

I'm sorry I don't know. I haven't had to replace it. If you take it to a battery place they can tell you when they replace it.

We regret to inform you the battery can not be replaced. Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If the battery is charged once every 2 weeks, the service life will be approximately 3 years.

You are better off just getting a new one when needed because you have to be careful on how and where you store them. Best rule of thumb is to change them every 3 years with a fresh new battery.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

No, and the one I got wasn't brand new. It may have never been used before but it definitely spent a few years on the shelf before I got it. It would only last 5-10 minutes per charge and I returned it. I now use a car battery, there's videos out there to show you how to convert it.

Not long. 20-30 minutes max. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it use able. You always have to have a spare charged. Other than battery life, it works great.

It takes about 4 hours. I let it go overnight, and it's pretty rare that I start with a completely dead battery

I was very surprised when after a few months, my lap top told me to replace the battery. I would say I only had used it for about 8 to 10 hours total and it was generally plug in to a wall socket when I did use it.

Yes it does come with a battery, and in my experience the battery last about 5 months before it needs to be replaced.

The battery on mine works for days before it needs a charge (and charging is very fast).

I haven't used it that much, so I really don't know. However, I suspect it somewhat. Hmm ... I noticed the build date was 3 years before I received the battery.

I have not had to replace the battery for the last two years. Since the price is so reasonable, I would purchase a new one instead of replace the battery. It is nor worthy replace the battery. I hope that help.
