| 739759 | 2009-01-17 02:46:00 | Hi, Just wondering if anyone has a Victa Enviro Mower, battery type? Or has anyone had some experience of one. I am considering getting one. My old faithful 22 year old Masport mulch mower has cut its last blade of grass. :waughh: Cheers LL |

Don't know about using it as a mulcher though. Never tried the fitting as I prefer to catch my grass. Ken :thumbs: |

| 739761 | 2009-01-17 03:00:00 | Last thing I'd ever buy. This from one website: The battery is a sealed unit of two linked 12V lead-acid type batteries. It can be removed from the mower, or left in-situ to be recharged. This takes about 12-16 hours. The batteries are marketed as running for up to 80 minutes on a full charge, but It has been giving 55 minutes. That sure wouldn't do our lawn. Fine if you live in Auckland hand have a pissy little section I guess. |

| 739762 | 2009-01-17 03:08:00 | Hi, Thanks for comments, my section is quite small, but not small enough to use a hand push mower. It takes around 15-20 mins to mow so lots of battery time is not critical. I like the mulch feature as I don't do compost or anything and nowhere to put clippings anyway. Cheers LL |

| 739763 | 2009-01-17 04:43:00 | The Mitre 10 Mega guys here say they only have problems with people who don't give matters a lot of thought before purchasing . My lawns take 35-40 minutes to cut and I have done them twice on one battery charge when I forgot to plug the battery in after the first use . Got a bit slow towards the end but it did OK .

Not sure the battery mower is green you are burning coal and natural gas at some far away power station to charge your battery. Probaly take quite a few lumps of coal for the lawn. |

| 739765 | 2009-01-17 05:49:00 | Thanks kenj, sounds like it might just suit my needs very well and is within my price range. prefect, well, it's either battery or petrol so you can't win can you! Cheers LL |

| 739768 | 2009-01-17 06:18:00 | A friend has one, it is over three years old and runs just fine. 3 of his neighbours have been sufficiently impressed to get one each. He charges it from the solar panel in his campervan, so I suppose it runs on daylight saving. |
