When running an electric mower, battery power isn’t used unless the unit is moving and/or the mower deck is activated. This is not the case for an internal combustion powered mower, which wastes valuable fuel for starting and idling. When running, electric equipment are also zero emissions machines, greatly reducing the consumer’s carbon footprint. 

You will NEVER produce or smell dangerous exhaust fumes again in your garage or when you mow, just the freshly cut grass! 

In the world of equipment, heat inhibits life. An air-cooled engine on a zero-turn mower puts out an enormous amount of heat that is nowhere to be found on an electric mower thus providing extended years of service. Battery life is not an issue either! Some, with proper maintenance, are rated up to 1,500 charge cycles (with no more than a 10% decrease in battery storage capacity), far exceeding the life expentancy of the mower itself. Additionally, some batteries are designed to allow for easy replacement of the individual cell blocks, allowing the batteries to be serviceable.

As a result, battery-electric equipment can, initially, be more expensive. But, with gas or diesel equipment, fuel needs to be purchased and added every time the tank is empty. With a battery, it simply has to be charged for another cycle, and over the life of a lithium-ion battery, an operator will get 1000-1500 cycles if charged and stored properly.
