Friends, I have a quick question about figuring out the current capacity of a Consumer-marketed LiOn battery.
I have been "driving" a small used B&D Lawn Hog mower for a number of years. A few years ago, I changed the switch in the handle, and now the rectifier needs to be replaced. While I am waiting for Amazon, I borrowed my neighbor's mower, which turns out to be a Ryobi running on 40V Lithium. Which started me thinking - considering my mower's motor is DC - what would it take to replace the cord + rectifier with some number of these 40V packs which are available at 6Ah? The motor has no plate but a search showed that it is rated for 12amps. If I use 3 of these batteries, the voltage will be matched, 120V, 6Ah. it would need those 3 batteries to run at the 2C level, which may not be sustainable..... and, of course, for the price of 3 batteries, I could buy a whole new battery mower... but I really doubt I could run the same motor on 80 Volts, or 40 volts. (I'm not changing the motor at this time). So, it sounds like I will continue to be tethered for a while. Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
