The battery charges easily on household current. It takes about 4 hrs to recharge a fully drained battery. the grass catcher comes off easily. the blades haven't clogged up. the mower is essentially the same as a push mower except for the addition of a motor. I don't know where a second battery or parts can be ordered. If you come across a source please let me know. Rob

I have had no problems charging the battery. I'm not familiar with what USA electric is. We have normal electrical service. I cannot answer your question on the grass catcher, since I do not use it. The blades have never clogged; however, they do stop when I hit a pinecone, a common obstacle in my yard. I have really, really liked my Gardena - it is lightweight and easy to do hills and areas where there are lots of twists and turns.

no problem charging on US electric. the grass catcher stays on very well during use, but comes off with nearly no effort when you need to empty iy. the blades have not gotten stuck on me yet under electric power, but when using as a non powered push mower they do bind up from time to time in thick grass. I have no idea where to get the battery. i did see one here on amazon for $150 (wow). I do need a second battery as the main battery is not enough to cover my whole lawn. i get about 2.3 of it done. i don't know the exact size of my lawn but it is typically about an hour mow from start to finish no problem charging on US electric. the grass catcher stays on very well during use, but comes off with nearly no effort when you need to empty iy. the blades have not gotten stuck on me yet under electric power, but when using as a non powered push mower they do bind up from time to time in thick grass.

nope - I charge mine in Iowa USA all the time. Grass catcher comes off quite easily, sometimes too easily. Blades get stuck on long wet grass or wood chips occasionally - but not generally. Bought my second battery on Amazon.

When we received our unit, it was missing a very essential part--the charging unit. I tried to get a replacement from Canada, but they never followed through. So, we sent it back and I didn't try it again. Sorry to not answer your question. I bought a Fiskars regular push mower and it has no problems.

1. Charges anywhere in U.S. 2. Catcher is easy to remove and empty. 3. Blades can stick, remove safety before uncloging blades. They don't stick often. 4. Amazon had batteries, have you searched for them?

Good Luck!.....I bought the Remington 60 volt cordless/corded lawn mower several years ago. Liked the idea that I could run the mower with an electric cord if the battery gave out before finishing my mowing. Unfortunately two years later the battery wouldn't hold a charge and the manufacturer discontinued making them. Couldn't find a replacement battery anywhere on the internet. Was stuck with an expensive "corded only" lawn mower. How's that for backing your products?? Will never buy anything with that brand again. Hope you have better luck in getting some kind of support.

Mine is now on its 3rd season and it's definitely lost a bit of power. Just read the instructions and follow them and it seems fine. These are lead acid batteries like in a car, so if you leave them in the cold and don't ever charge them, they won't work when you need them. I'm in Michigan, so cold winters are a thing. I bring the battery in for the winter and plug it in once a month like the instructions say and it's been going quite well. I assume next year I might need a new one, but 4 years of mowing with no gas doesn't seem too bad.

1. How old is the battery? 2. When you charge the battery, are you doing that while the battery is in the mower or have you lifted it out of the mower? 3. Under no load (mower running but cutting NO grass), are all 3 green LEDs lighted? 4. Are you mowing tall, thick or wet grass? If a battery shows a full charge under no-load and dies after 10 minutes, you may have to order a replacement 24-volt battery.

Since I don't have a big yard, I have no complains like those other users, except that I cannot find a battery replacement, and I need one now. I checked at Sears but no one knows. I search all over the Internet but no result. I even wrote to American Gardener Co. but got no reply. If we cannot find a battery replacement I suggest DO NOT BUY this item. You'll just add garbage to the landfill in a couple of years. HOW COME NOT ONE REVIEW MENTIONED ABOUT BATTERY REPLACEMENT, AND WHERE TO BUY IT? AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT HAVE THIS ISSUE?

I left my Neuron plugged in to recharge the battery overnight to see if it will power my mower again just to make sure and it started again after I press the start button. So I don't know why it did not start yesterday. I thought it had died. I am so confuse right now. My be the connection between the battery and the mower was loose. I will try to do some mowing just to make sure that it will run OK. Sorry for all the trouble.

Not sure. I would guess that means the battery is not being fully recharged. That would explain the lack of battery life. You should be able to edge and trim an average size lawn without a problem.

I have 2 batteries for use on my drill and hedge trimmer. Thy are now about 1 year old and have never had a problem. It is important that you do not leave batteries discharged for long periods. When I use the battery, I put it on charge immediately. A charged battery will store fine, a discharged battery will not. If you did not leave the battery discharged, I would suggest that there is a problem with the charger and, since the battery will need to be charged quickly, I would also suggest that you need to do something about this quickly.

I can do my back and front yard with no problem, however, if I let it sit for a couple of days after using it and don't plug it in it is kind of weak. So I plug the battery in every time I finish with what I am doing.

The battery is included, at least when I bought it at Lowe's. However, after about 5 months of use, it doesn't hold the charge enough to cut 10,000 sq ft of grass. I divided it in half last summer and am having to do so this year too. The battery only lasts about 5,000 sq ft of yard.I love the mower itself. Very quiet - you could carry on a conversation if you needed to - but then there goes more of the battery. The self-propel moves out, though I don't notice any difference in the slow to high - it seems to be one speed only. Love being able to start at the push of a button and a squeeze of a bar. I use it mostly on mulch - I don't like to bag - I prefer to let it renurish my lawn. The battery is included, at least when I bought it at Lowe's.

Hi Valerie, the Earthwise electric mower I have is the same style, but earlier and without a mulcher. I have a feeling that the addition of the mulcher would have something to do with the battery warranty. Wish I could help further. Linda

I've had the CMM1000 for over five years now, still with original battery. I always mow in the late afternoon or early evening, never let the battery needle get into the red, and keep it plugged-in when not in use. It sits in a shed about 30 feet from my house - I just run a heavy-duty extension cord from an outside plug to the shed. The mower stays plugged-in even during the winter.If you keep it on the charger, and don't abuse it by trying to cut grass that's too tall, it will serve you well for many years. I love this mower!

My original battery got to a point where I could not mow my entire yard on a single chargew after 3 years. I purchased a new battery but kept the original as a back up. This way even if the new battery gets to a point where I can't mow on a single charge All I'll need to do is swap the battery and finish the yard.

The battery is an SLA (sealed lead acid) battery that can be charged. It lives under the seat but it doesn't look like most batteries. It is surprisingly small. It is about 1.5 inches thick, 6 inches tall, and about 5 inches wide. It is mounted horizontally. Now if you can find it, you can charge it but I would not charge it while it is connected to the mower. You might damage the charging circuit in the mower. The question here is why does it need to be charged. That is as much a statement as it is a question, thus no question mark. The battery should remain charged as long as the charging circuit works. If you let it sit all winter and it is low, it might be okay. I would go ahead and charge it. But if the battery is weak or wont start the mower after it has been charged, it is bad and you need a new one. The point I am getting at is when a starting battery needs to be charged, you should look very closely at that battery and the charging circuit. The one good thing is a battery that small is not expensive so if it IS bad buying a new one won't nail you in the wallet. I hope this helps, and I wish you the best of luck.

I have the 25312 19 inch mower with two 4ah batteries. Each battery will last me about a half-hour of mowing or more. For me that is enough to mow my grass with only one battery. I would think that if the grass is very high and thick it might not last as long as it seems to give more power when needed.
