I've thrown away two battery powered lawnmowers. Bought each one new, the battery lasted until shortly after the one year warranty expired. A new battery cost half the price of the lawnmower. A lead-acid car battery with a laptop converter sounds like a much cheaper and more reliable idea to me. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
