Re: Tested a battery powered lawnmower?

Take a look at the reviews for more details, but they don't run 
forever and the taller the grass, the less time you have for mowing 
before draining the battery. Forty-minutes to an hour is about right. 
These smaller mowers are ideal for most small properties. In the 
review, both  writers discuss this.

I bought my battery mower (the Black and Decker) from a guy on 
Craig's List...he loved it, but his yard was too large and he'd run 
out of juice. I think the time is about the same on the Neuton. I can 
mow my lawn in less than 30 minutes, so I don't have a problem.
