what power supply does it use? Can it use a small 12v lawn tractor battery or does it have it's own batteries?-Nick

It has alligator clips (+ -) & they can be attached to any 12 v battery. U can even connect 2, 6 v batteries in series (like flashlight batteries) which are lighter.

Does not have its own battery. Could use a small wet crll, but you would have to keep it charged between uses.

It does not come with batteries. The small lawn tractor battery will probably work - although it may not last long if you have other lights/electronics connected to it. I bought a small marine battery from BatteriesPlus for around $60 and it works great.

It requires a separate 12v DC power source. A 12v lawn mower battery should provide the correct power.

Does not have its own power supply. But could use the 12 volt lawn mower battery.

The external power supply is AC --> DC 12V@200mASo, yes, you could take a small 12vdc battery that has an out of about 200mA and power this unit. If you did use a 12vdc battery you could charge/recharge the battery with a small solar panel that you could purchase for about $20.For Reference: http://www.emtcompany.com/x10-xm14a-ac-power-supply-charger-adapter/101334292.html

Save your money and buy one from tractor supply that takes regular battery's this one the battery dies in a couple days and costs $5-$20

It just plugs in, no recharge capability, there may not be anything like what you r looking for except for a 12 volt battery for a car or a tractor.

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

It uses a 12 volt dc power supply. I am using them in my motorhome, so they ar running off the truck battery.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

Volts are the force or pressure under which electrons flow -- Amps are the measure of current flow rate of electrons -- ie: a 120 Volt, 20 Amp motor runs at 2400 watts -- this mower runs on A/C (household) current, and requires a cord -- it is not battery operated. I would not buy a battery operated mower -- the batteries are expensive and do not hold a charge for very long. They are good only if you have a very small lawn to mow, but my brother had one for his small lawn, and grew frustrated with the battery operation. Gave up and bought a simple rotary push mower. So far, I am pleased with the mower -- it is nice and quiet, but I must say that the tires are wimpy, and can easily get "stuck" in sandy soil or on small lawn irregularities. Other than that, I like the mower.

I actually use this for my boat, any 12V battery will work, if you want to have something around that will last a long time, pick up a ATV battery at Walmart. It will probably run for days

no internal batteries to power the unit. It needs a 12V DC source like the battery that starts the engine.

I am looking into buying this model as well and am interested in the answer to Erin Leddy's question - can you take out the battery and charge it outside of the mower? I will be storing the mower in a shed with no power, so this is a key consideration for me. Thanks!

It is NOT battery powered. Power is supplied by extension cords. I bought this for my 82 yr old mother-in-law. It is very light weight and meant to blow off a sidewalk, and not an entire lawn. It is however quite powerful for it's size.

You can use a 12 volt battery, or a battery pack. I think it would even work with more than 12 volts. I use a small solar panel that I got for 6-7 dollars. Great little motor!!!

Riding lawn more probably not battery not big enough. This unit is probably too big to Ron off of one car battery. I use mine in a semi and I For very large batteries. I would definitely call the manufacturer and ask them those questions. My guess is that your concept is good but I don't think it will suit your needs.

Unfortunately I wasn't able to get one that would work from a hobby shop. A power wheel battery could have worked or any kind of riding lawnmower battery but it wasn't a compact enough application with out a back pack or vehicle to hold it.

As far as I know there were no batteries. It is a peddle tractor. He lives it!

I use a small 12 volt gel filled tractor battery but any deep cycle battery will work.
