What is the warranty for this mower and how long does it take to charge the battery?

A year and it takes about 3 hours. Remember to charge it the first time at least 12 hours.

Not sure what the warranty is offhand. I just charged the battery today after not using the mower all winter and it took 6-8 hours to charge.

Google for the warranty info. I can't recall what it is. Regarding the battery, it depends on the state of its charge. But generally it's fully charged in a couple of hours. I actually only charge it after using it three or four times. I've never run out of power. BTW: I've had electric mowers before and this one is by far the best! I trim the hedges and flowers and it all goes onto the lawn. The mower mulches it into a powder that injected back as fertilizer.

Mine broke and they refunded my money no problem. Not sure of the warranty. The battery charged in about right hours. I ran it for 20 minutes and when i came back to it two weeks later it was still fully charged.

I am not sure about the warranty. It takes a while to charge it though. I charge mine overnight the night before I get ready to use it so it's fully charged the next morning.

I'm not sure about the warranty. As for the charge, I initially charged it for 24 hours although that wasn't necessary. After that, I charge it for four hours before I need to cut the grass.

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 found the battery life to be almost precisely 3 years. Both myself and a neighbor of mine purchased this mower within 1-2 months of eachother and we both had to replace the battery within 1 month of the 3 year anniversary.

By battery literally "burned out" just after the 2 year warranty expired. I could smell the overheating battery which was recharging and it was leaking fluid. Luckily we removed it from the house without any further damage. I used the lawn mower about once a week (or less) to mow a relatively small lawn for approx. 6 months each year. I followed all instructions re the care of the battery. I love the mower but am concerned about the battery.

It is 2 years. I just had to use mine and was relieved that I was within the warranty period. I was at about 19 months. I could not have been more impressed with the service - I simply had to explain what went wrong, send in my invoice - all via email, and they shipped me a complete new saw with battery and charger.

The battery and charger each have a limited 2 year warranty. The blower has a limited 4 year warranty.

You charge it while it's in the mower. I assume you can remove the battery if you want to, but we never did.

In case the question dealt with cycle life, it seems to be an hour or so, depending on grass density. For my small lawn, that's a couple mowings per charge, with a bit to spare.

I'm not sure of the actual distance, but I've taken my outside around the house and mowed the grass with it and it works. Our property is total of a quarter acre if that helps any. Sorry can't give you more. Also, the batter barely last through an 8hr sleeping time frame. It also only charges when it's turned on.

To respond to your battery questions. Here's my experience: I purchased a B&D cordless mower 2.5 years ago. Pros - powerful enough to mow even long grass - 19" path was a good size for our small yard - switching from mulching to bagging was easily done, with the bag being a good size for clippings Cons - battery only last 2.5 years and now needs replacement - replacement battery is over $200 for either the B&D ($209 from authorized B&D service centre) or $190 for an aftermarket brands. Summary - I wouldn't recommend a B&D cordless lawnmover. The high initial cost should have been outweighed by a longer life and lower fuel consumption - at only 2 1/2 years, I didn't receive the payback. Given the high cost of replacement batteries, the maximum life you will get out of this lawnmower is 2.5 years before having to replace it. I will be going back to a gas lawnmower as the long term costs are much less. The "green" B&D mower is on it's way to occupy space in a landfill.

The Lawn mower does have a battery and does not require to plug in to start each time. There is a Battery Charger sold with the mower to initially charge the battery (Charge 24 hours - initial charge), and if the battery charge gets low - the battery can be recharged.Brent

There is normally a warranty of from 90 days to 1 year on the batteries. The question that will be asked to the owner is "Did he/she maintain the battery properly during that time. The proper maintenance is to let the battery drain all the way down at least once a month and then ensure that it is charged back to 100% before it is unplugged from the power outlet. Also, do not leave the battery in the computer if it is plugged into the power source on a 24/7 basis. Not doing either of these procedures will rapidly deplete the time usage of the battery.

I no longer have my mower, but I did not have a problem with the battery. I tried not to have it charging longer than 24 hrs, but often forgot about it. I had other problems.

The connectors are poorly engineered crap. The best way to get around it is to lift the battery out of the housing and use the 3 prong plug that you should have gotten with the mower. It's a PITA. If they were really so environmentally friendly they'd have used Lithium Ion batteries and included a "smart" charger. Speaking of chargers, the one supplied will cook your battery if left on too long. Check to see if that's the case (Don't ask me how I know). I started using a timer in between the outlet and charger.

We have had our mower for 4 years and still have the same battery. We have not left it charging for more than 24 hours. We live in California and have not always charged within the 30 day recommendation during the winter. We purchased a new battery last year as we thought we were being to have recharging issues, but as yet we have not needed to install the new battery. We do not have a large lawn area (approximately 700 sf) which may be a factor.

Scott, I know there was a warranty when I ordered the battery but don't remember the length of time. HTH!

Don't know the warranty. But you should stay away from this battery and company! You get what you pay for. The battery I purchased would not charge after it died with only several hours of use. Do yourself a favor and spend the $100 for an extended life battery made by a reputable company.
