Hi Michael, A couple of thoughts on the lawn mower project. The last 3 years that I had my lawn business, I used a very inefficient Dixie Chopper that I converted. These are monster mowers that mow very fast. 10 minutes to do the average yard. My set up had about a 15 to 20 min. run time. I used 12V AGM's, which I charged from my electric truck in less than 10 minutes. I was able to cut 10 yards or more a day. The lawn mower would charge fully while I weed wacked and blew off the drive. So you don't necessarily need to have a lot of run time, if you can set up a fast charging system. My other thought is to make a "mobile" Lithium Pack and use the battery pack for some other projects. Like Golf Buggy, Motorcycle or boat.
here is a short video of my mower and more info can be found on our web page: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVFfOLpCupA http://www.greenshedconversions.com/Pages/LawnMowers.aspx -- Steve Clunn Merging the best of the past with the best of the future. www.Greenshedconversions.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
