Commercial Quality Battery-Powered Mower
It seems like electric-powered riding mowers are popping up all over but they’re limited to residential use because of their average 1-hr. drive time. An Ohio company made a big splash at the recent GIE+Expo in Louisville with a zero-turn battery-powered mower that they say will run all day.
  That’s because it has an innovative deep-cycle battery pack that can be quickly swapped out with a fresh battery pack. The 6 lead-acid batteries in each pack provide an average 90 to 120 min. of mowing time, enough to mow 3 to 4 acres. Once they wear down it takes less than 5 min. to swap in a fresh battery pack. The tractor has a 62-in. floating deck with four blades, each direct-driven by an electric motor. Top mower speed is 9.3 mph.
  Sells for $9,500 plus $1,900 per battery pack.
