[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 3952475, member: 3099"] A battery powered electric would probably work but on a large lot like you mention a second battery would be quite helpful. If talking self propelled it'll probably be mandatory. Battery powered electrics are pricey and the cost for both mower and another battery will match or exceed a nice Honda gas mower. I have the 40V Kobalt and love it for what I bought it for. It's pretty surprising on runtime but I have a ZTR and only use the Kobalt for the edges and inside corners I can't get with the ZTR. If the ZTR is down or it's too wet to use it, the Kobalt will do my front and back on a single 5 amp battery but I can't mess around or let it get too tall. It's also a standard push mower and my yard isn't as big as what you describe. I'd go gas in your situation. Don't pay much attention to the voltage of the battery. Look at the amp hours. That's where run time comes from. I like the Kobalt because it's the "easy button". Just throw a battery in it and go. [/QUOTE]
