What is the run time for the mower on a single charge?

With a new battery, I can manage to finish my front yard, which is fairly big as I have a corner house. Main problem is the need to replace the battery each year, driving the price of mowing!

When new, the battery lasted 45 to 60 minutes after a full charge. The second summer season, a full charge resulted in only 30 to 45 minutes. This summer will be the third season, and I hope there isn't another drop.

This mower did not work for me. It shorted out. I cut grass that was slightly wet. This machine can not be trusted!

I agree with John: first summer 45-60 minutes (depending on how tall the grass got), the second summer 30-45 minutes, and sadly, the battery died at the end of the second summer and I got rid of the mower. By the way, contact Ryobi if that happens to you because I heard they will replace the battery if you contact them. I didn't know that and didn't want to risk buying a new battery that would only last one to two years.

Out the box got at best 40 minutes. Able to cut ~ 20 x 50 foot section. I'd say keep looking....

This a loaded question, it depends on what you are cutting. I started with 4-6 inch weed/grass and it ran about 25 minutes started on setting 4. I then ran for 35 minutes on setting 2. I ran it for 45+ minutes on setting 7. So it all depends on what you are cutting hot thick and high your grass/weeds are. Overall I'm extremely happy with this mower. We cut very wet weeds today no problems. I've cut almost all my yard 1/3 acre. Not a singe drop of gasoline is the best part.

Mine runs a minimum of 30 minutes on a full charge. I've never run it out so I'm not sure how long it might last.

I'm getting about an hour at lowest speed (which is plants for most trimming). The first charge it ran out in about half hour, then got better kinda like a break in for the first two charges or so.

NO, it must run on battery, but don't underestimate the battery run time, I have a really small lawn, but I remember I only charger couple time for the last season.

We have an electric starter on our Lawnboy. We plug the cord on the mower into a 110 volt outlet to recharge.

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.

About an hour. All you do is mow, and charge it each time but I think you could wait until the three greens go to two greens.

I've never sat around and timed it... but it seems to be something around 2 hours. I usually throw the battery on the charger right after i use it anyways... and a single charge is enough to do my entire front and back yard (i think it runs 30-45 mins give or take).

I have almost an acre and it takes me about 45 minutes to trim. So far I've never run out of charge. I usually take a short break between the front and back yards.

Yes, it comes with one battery and one slow charger. Depending on size of your lawn you might consider a second battery. I get about 35 to 50 minutes of cutting time.

It seems to charge in about an hour, but I haven't timed it. It lasts about 15 minutes, maybe 20 before it starts to slow down. That's all I expected and all I need. If I had a large area and needed 30-40 minutes, I stick with this unit and just buy a second battery. Remember, its light, nimble..meaning you can hold it in one hand and bend your arm upside down and backwards as the the blower is a wand. Dry or slighty damp leaves its perfect. Wet soggy leaves, forget it.

There is no absolute answer, I can trim my yard twice on one charge, your lawn could be smaller than mine or larger. Using it to cut down thick overgrown weeds and grass will use more battery time. I like it because it is light weight, fits into close areas and does a great job for me. Maggie

I'm pleased with the battery life because when it runs out I'm finished and ready to quit. I can do my all my yard needs on one battery. I'm guessing it runs about 45 minutes full speed.

Yes and no. When the battery is plugged in during charging process, a red light is on and will turn green when the charging is done. While mowing, you won't know, but you can kind of tell the mower becomes less and less powerful quickly.

It comes with a 24 volt Li battery and a charger. You'll have to do the math conversion yourself to find the exact Watt-Hours. I can tell you from experience that a battery like this one will give you about 40 to 50 minutes of full power running the trimmer at normal speed on an average size lawn.

four to five hours, but I got the deal with the blower and the weed wacker so you get two batteries. The weed whacker does my whole yard with one battery charge -- the blower takes both batteries to do my yard as I have two black olive trees with a lot of leaves.

The 10 hour charger that comes with it takes too long. There is no need to wait until the battery is depleted. I bought the $40 30 minute charger and it speeds up the charging process, so for smaller yards like mine I can quick charge it in like 10 or 15 minutes and finish my job.
