Saturday

We have a lot of gardens cut out of our lawn, and a lot of concrete. So, I get 2 cuttings out of one charge on the mower.
Well, I did. Now that the battery is nearly 8 years old, I get 1 with maybe 20% of the charge left.
The little low battery light never comes on.
The smaller batteries will charge even on the bigger charger, but the bigger ones are too heavy for the blower or hedge trimmer.
But, I've got 2 of the smaller batteries too, so there's never a concern about running out of juice.

Except for my emergency generator I have no gas powered stuff anymore.
