Help me decide between 25312 (19" metal deck 2x 4AH batteries) and 25302 (twin force)? I have searched a lot online and having trouble deciding. 1/5 acre zone 5.

This well be hard to answer. Maybe if I tell you why I purchased my mower may help. I have a large yard about 1 acre and sometimes I cannot mow when I want to, grass gets a little to high with the two electric motors this should make it easlier to cut and should last untill I'm finished with yard about a 1 1/2 hr run time. Also it cost less $359.00 at the time. Plus I well be able to use 40v 2ah battery with hedge trimmer I ordered.

I had the same dilemma. The dimensions are somewhat different (I'm not sure your can get as close to a fence with the twin force as the other) and I believe that the twin force does not have an all metal deck (check this as I am going by memory) but it may be lighter. It sort of depends what you think is important. I went with the 25312 and have been happy. I doubt you can go two far wrong either way.

My only experience is with the 25312 19" and so far I am very satisfied. I can mow my yard, slightly less than 1/5 acre without recharging the 4h battery. It also works very well for picking up leaves in the fall.

I have the Twin Force. Works great. I just returned from a month and a half in Ecuador to Florida. Needless to say, my yard was grown up. This mower did not falter to cut it. You can't go wrong with this machine.

I had an oportunity to use the 18V when I installed the railings on my father in laws staircase. I worked absolutely great but I had to keep switching batteries and kept one on the charger. He got it last Christmas. I told myself then the Dewalt was far superior to the two brands of portable drills I was using that I was going to get a Dewalt for myself. Honestly, when I ordered the 20V I assumed it was the same as my father in law had but his was the 18V. I would be happy with either but the 20V I have is smaller in size and lighter than the 18V that he has. Plus the 20V lithium batteries last a long long time before you have to recharge but then again replacement batteries are expensive. I just used the 20V to build my garage and so far I've only swithed batteries 5 times and that includes all the siding, drywall, wire routing. BTW I use the new star bit screws for everything they are far superior to phillips and I have given all my boxes of phillips screws away; along with my two "other brand" cordless drills.

I now own 4 Fenix PD35s. $70 here on Amazon. Orbtronic 18650 3,400mAH rechargeable batteries with intellicharger 4 ver 2. About the best light for size and the ability to set a intensity and have the light turn back on to that setting is the best thing about it. Bright too. Go to Fenix.com to see what they have but I know which one I like!

If it uses 2-2016's then use those because the voltage of two cells is required. The 2016 is half as thick(1.6mm vs 3.2mm) as the 2032. The 2032 is over twice the capacity (lasts 2X longer) than the 2016 (~200mAhr versus 90mAhr), BUT two 2016's is 6.4V, whereas a single 2032 will be just 3.2V. Blue and White LED's will most likely require 2x2016's, while red for example might be just fine (and work longer) on 1x2032. Sorry it isn't simpler. Unless you are having problems with batteries not lasting long enough I would go with 2x2016's as one person states and just get a bunch of them (they can be found pretty cheap nowadays).

4.0 its a super battery. I use in my saw and sawz all and they last a long time in those tools! Certainly make the 1.5 and 2.0 look silly!

No, that was a problem I had. Seems what you buy at Lowes, or other box stores is a different battery configuration. I had received a kit for a gift, then purchased these tools thinking they would share batteries. Nope. That said, still the best cordless tools that I have owned. I now own both post and the square slide type batteries.I may have gotten your question wrong. The saw uses the post type, and the drill and Lowes tools use the slide type.

Thanks! It's good to know, just for an emergency. I've run my Nextgen unit for about 5 years using 2 of their 2/3 batteries. I keep one in the unit and every month or so swap them.

There have been many generations of this battery. The 24 volt the fsb 24 and the FSX24 extreme which holds a charge much better.Love the Firestorm Drill but a shame B&D; has discontinued the product batteries used to be under $30 now $50 -$100a piece is nothing.Get the extreme if you can. Rapid Chargers are still reasonable....... Good Luck

I find that each Lithium-Ion battery (two come with the mower) lasts about an hour. There are several caveats: the thickness and wetness of the grass. I have found that a setting of "3" works very well and gets the longest battery life. That level also looks good. I would reccomend the 19 inch model over the 16 inch mower unless you have an extremely small yard. These machines are not meant for yards larger than a quarter acre in my opinion. Larger yards require more battery changes.

Go with two high current 12 volt deep cycle batteries. Wire them in paralell; not series. You only want 12 volts; not 24. Use the same brand/capacity and type. Don't mix brands or current ratings. THE HIGHER THE CURRENT RATING;THE MORE TIME YOU'LL GET ON THE BATTERIES. I've seen systems with more than two batteries however, you'll need additional equipment to pull it off safely. You could also use a marine A/B Battery transfer switch and draw from bat A bat B BOTH of OFF. Don't forget to use fuses at key points. Amazon also has some pretty good books on the subject.

I parked a 2 year old gel cell and it was on a tender. they say it will , one that don't disaulfate. does tender cover the shorai batt warranty ,ask shorai. I have no kick start on my big twin . and im to lazy to walk. we just had a big extended chill here in the garden state and I now trust my batt in temps (wind chills) below 0. and I now have 4500 lb front and rear winches . kawi needs a bigger rectifier. buy the battery by dimensions not by cross reference. bigger is better.

Had a B&D; Firestorm (24V) before this....prefer the Porter Cable....I have been using the saws all and drill quite a bit (moderate to heavy use) with no problems....Lithium batteries are great.....very satisfied with the entire collection

Hey thanks, lol. I asked this question quite some time ago. I went with the 20 volt. It works great. I agree with you as I have done very heavy tasks with this. I ended up buying an extra battery pack. I works great now.

I use the 4.0 AH battery all the way back to X2 tools.. this is wen the 1/2 in driver drill impact driver could give a big red a run for its money .. today's rigid tools are emerson crap emerson dont pay out to keep up in the battery game like other mfgrs do so they on back end of battery tech.. gotta pay to play.. 69 bux for a 4.0 ah battery with three yr warranty aint to bad they at store now just bought two..

I would recommend at Venom Battery with a higher MAH. There are good deals out there on single and double packs. You should get up to double the run time with the Venom. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't help. Perhaps ask amazon or vender. Or, see if Dewalt brand replacement battery for your model matches the other listed models by this vender. It is an excellent product.
