I can't mow my entire lawn with the included 4 &amp; 2 amp batteries. To get it done in one go, should I buy one more of each battery or just an extra 4 amp?

It would really be a matter of judging which of your current batteries would best cover the area that is left. I would probably go for just the 4Ah though.

Not sure, read the specs. But I can tell you that with a fairly small suburban yard, I had to buy two extra batteries to have a chance of getting the job done in one shot. And they were expensive. This the biggest problem with this product.

I have only one battery, but you do not two unless You are using a lot--this battery will last for a long and is quite fast to be get it off the batter. I don't use what you use, so you may two batteries.

Used it for one season so far and the battery does the whole lawn. We have an average size lawn in a subdivision and it is flat. If you have hills, you might want to get a self propelled mower. I picked up leaves with it a few weeks ago and the battery is still working good.I see replacements on eBay for 99 bucks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Decker-36V-Battery-for-CM1936-SPCM1936-and-CTL36-Mowers-RB-3612-NEW-/301056042900?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash;=item461856a794

no battery, rather a plug-in. Battery mowers aren't very powerful and the charge isn't great if you have a large mowing job. Alternatively, you can get two batteries and put the second in if the first gives out. HOWEVER, the battery-mowers are very heavy, and this one is not, which is what I (as 70-year old female) needed.

But it's not good to run the batteries all the way down. Also, how long the batteries last depends upon how short you are cutting the grass. I have gotten as little as 30 minutes on a battery cutting long grass.

That's a good deal. You could go ahead and buy a spare battery from Amazon and for ~$131 you'd have a nice trimmer setup. We have a small in-town yard and I have yet to run through both batteries but I always go through one, so having the spare is essential. I also have to agree to some extent with Anthony Deyal, in that if you're using the trimmer for heavy use, the battery drains real fast. It's got plenty of torque with the gear drive (I use it to trim hedges occasionally), but using that kind of power sucks the battery dry. It really needs a li-ion pack.

The battery had more than enough charge to easily start my motorcycle. I then let the motorcycle charge the battery. I have also used a 1.5 amp trickle charger without an issue. I would not use a fast 4 amp plus charger.

Marjorie, could you let me know what is the model number on the riding mower? I will be able to cross reference to a suitable battery afterwards. Being a full sized machine, I would say that a 12volt 5amp battery (the one from this webpage) would be insufficient to run it.

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

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 grabbed the battery out of my riding lawnmower, it wouldn't start the mower last time but I had charged it up since then. Took the thrower out with that battery and brought along jumper cables just in case. We threw over 250 birds and the battery seemed just as good at the end as it did at the beginning. I suspect a big ole deep cycle marine battery would run the thing all day and all night. I prefer the mower battery because it's much smaller and lighter than a deep cycle marine or RV battery. (and WAY less expensive!!)

yes the battery removes very easily. if you are mowing that much lawn you may want to get something larger than a 14-inch. my lawn is only about 700 sq. feet and it works great. I have not mowed anything bigger then that. so I do not know how well it would do. I hope this will help you. good luck

HiThese two saws require the larger amp hour (size) batteries. The 4amp hour battery that you listed indicates that you have the larger one.

It would actually cost you less here to buy each individually. If you get anything at Home Depot look for ONLY their "special buy" offers which basically offer you the same price as here plus on extra item. You can get a pair of batteries and a charger for the same as their normal price but also get a drill basically or hammer drill for free. Otherwise the HD packages are not worth it compared to Amazon.com. I bought two 104's with a (basically free) charger for $99 at HD but for one battery only you are paying too much even at $99 let alone $120.

I have a special charger for my R/C truck (duratrax onyx) that can be programmed for all types and sizes of batteries, so I don't have any problem with batteries overcharging. I purchased 5 additional LiPo battery packs for the quadcopter real cheap and they work great. The enemy of batteries is the charger - it's worth while to go with a programmable charger for any rechargeable batteries you own. I bought a cheap 5-way splitter to charge multiple batteries for my quadcopter at the same time and it works just fine. But, you need to have a good charger that doesn't overcharge. Otherwise, your batteries will puff up and their life will be shortened. Another advantage of a programmable charger is that the charge time is much shorter. I can charge one battery in as little as 35 min, or around 60 min at a lower mah rating (which will help the battery last longer). Look for a charger on Amazon - you can find them for around $35. I just cut the end off my 5-way splitter and put a plug on it that's compatible with my charger. Just keep the polarity correct and you're good to go. BTW - if you charge multiple batteries, I would make sure each is equally used, ie dead, then boost the mah rating according to how many batteries you're charging at once. I would charge one battery pack at 0.5 mah, but use 1.0 mah for 2 packs. Make sure the voltage is set correctly, as well as the type of battery (ie LiPo, Nimh, etc).

That's touch to know without knowing how many bulbs or plants you want to plant. So, I'll say for ease of use and not using an extension cord, you want cordless, perhaps with more than one battery. Most of those don't take too long to recharge, so I'd look for something well built with more than one battery and which gets high ratings from users. Hope this helps.
