My rusty 20 year old Mountfield B&S SP finally expired 2 weeks ago, and I decided to try a battery mower on the basis of, if it could not cope with the rear lawn I could then use it for the smaller front lawns which are better (but not well) manicured. So far I have been impressed. The battery life exceeds my personal working capacity (time + Effort) and it copes with the fairly neglected sloping rear grass, provided it is not wet. I have chosen to keep the grass a little longer than before to minimise scalping of any bumps.
So what did I choose? a 36V (2x 2.5Ah batteries) with 37cm cut Einhell. I chose the smaller width of cut version as it appears to have the same motor as their bigger ones, allowing greater abuse potential? Toolstation had 2 special offers on at the time, so it cost about 215£ with next day delivery.
I would not work on sqm cut, just how long it takes you to cut, cf the manufacturers published run time.
