Electrical Vs Battery-Operated Lawn Mowers

!±8± Electrical Vs Battery-Operated Lawn Mowers

Most lawn mowers are powered by gasoline. Up until recently they have been the easiest mowers to use. It was necessary only to pull the starter cord a few times, or use the electric starter, and then mow to your heart's content. But gasoline-powered mowers are noisy and they do rather pollute the air with their emissions.

One of the knocks against the electric-powered lawnmower was that it was awkward to use. The mower must be plugged in via a long power cord, and care must be taken not to snarl or run over the power cord.

Now, you've got another choice - the battery-operated lawnmower. A battery-operated lawnmower will generally have enough power to allow the operator to mow both the front and back yards on one charge, unless they are extremely large.

It all depends on the battery, though. Some batteries last for thirty minutes between charges, others last up to an hour. The key thing is that they are rechargeable, so that there's no need to bury them in a garbage dump. Although...even these batteries only last about five years or so - and then must be recycled.

There are several types of batteries: alkaline - which are not used in lawn mowers, lead acid - which are gradually being replaced by nickel cadmium, and lithium batteries - which are not only expensive but also have low storage capacity.

Nickel cadmium batteries

If you are buying a new battery operated lawn mower, make sure you get one powered by a nickel cadmium (Ni-cad) battery. They are simply better than the lead acid - they can be recycled and are environmentally friendly.

Extending battery life

As with any other type of mower, there are times when you should mow your lawn and times when you shouldn't. You should never try to mow wet grass - it produces a tremendous strain on the battery - or engine - and doesn't do your grass much good, either. Don't let your grass grow such that you're cutting off more than three inches at a time - again, bad for the engine or battery, and bad for the grass itself.

Ni-Cad batteries

Ni-Cad batteries are maintenance free. All you need to do is make sure you do not re-charge the batteries until they are completely discharged. The batteries have a 'memory' - if you recharge them when they don't need to be, they will remember the energy state they were at when they were recharged, and will believe themselves to be run down the next time they reach that state - even though they have plenty of power left. (Okay, there's a bit of anthropomorphism there, but you get the idea.)

If you're concerned about the environment - and we all should be - the battery-operated or electrical lawn mowers should be our choice.

For more information about this device and continued updates, please see my blog at: electronicrevolt.com Snow Joe electric snowblower converted to run on 25s2p lipo cells (105V max 93V nominal, 10Ah) I found this at a local thrift store, unused for and couldn't resist. It uses a "universal" motor so very little was actually required to actually get this running other than wiring up a custom battery harness.I know it's excessive, but make sure to watch in high def 1080p! Averages between 5 - 12A, around 16A peak. This gives about 1-11 hours of runtime depending on snow depth and pack. I didn't think to make the video until after the driveway and sidewalk were finished so I thought I would clear a spot in the backyard for my four-legged friend (I don't always snowblow our entire lawn). The base layer had been melted and refrozen a couple times so it was very solid - no problem for a high-torque electric! The entire thing weighs about 30lbs - very maneuverable and easy to lift in/out of vehicles, up/down steps, etc. There are lots of other benefits as well - no starting, no gas, no oil, uses only a few cents of electricity per use. This is the battery that I put together for use on an 8kW max electric mountainbike that goes 55mph when everything isn't covered in snow - expect a vdeo of that as soon as summer arrives. In the video it is inside of a rack-mount bike bag and then wrapped in a garbage bag for waterproofing. I considered putting the battery inside the housing ...

Walk Behind Leaf Blowers

!±8± Walk Behind Leaf Blowers

There are typically two types of leaf blowers, walk behind lead blowers and those which you can strap on to your back. While there are advantages and disadvantages to both of these types of blowers, you should be familiarized with both of them so you can make an educated decision regarding which you will choose. This article will give you all of the information you will need to make this choice so you can purchase and use a leaf blower that will get the job done quickly and effectively.

Walk behind leaf blowers can sometimes get heavy and you don't want to have to hold them all day while you are out in the yard blowing leaves, however they can be very efficient at what they do. This type of blower is made by a variety of companies, so it's important that if you want one you know which company is the best to buy from. While there are many different companies out there that you can buy from, you will want to make sure that the one you do give your money to is trustworthy and has a good solid reputation for making quality products like the one you plan on buying.

You can also get a leaf blower that is strapped on to your back. This is better for people who don't want to hold it the entire time in their hands and it can be very convenient, however they tend to be a little more expensive than their walk behind counterpart. If you are willing to spend the extra money, it's a handy piece of equipment to have around the house for that time of the year when all the leaves fall and you have to get your yard work done as quickly as possible.

Choosing walk behind leaf blowers over the kind you have on your back is a good idea, but only if that is truly what you want. One of the most important things in deciding which kind to buy is what you want. The difference between them is not so much measured in quality, but rather the preference of the user. The last thing you want to do is end up wasting time and money on a piece of equipment that will let you down consistently and ultimately break down after a short period of time. Consider buying a leaf blower an investment, one that should be selected carefully and bought with a budget in mind. You can get a good quality leaf blower while still not spending a lot of money.
