11. Battery mower and trimmer

I got an 80v battery powered mower, looking for simplicity. I have a fairly small lawn and it takes two batteries to do the whole thing. I bought a string trimmer that uses the same batteries. They recharge in about 40 minutes, so as a previous poster suggested, you can recharge one battery while you use the other one. In the spring I sharpen the blade and that's about it. Push the button and it runs. Probably psychological, but I seem less tired when I'm done mowing because of the lower noise level.
