It takes alot of planning if you have a limited supply of battery power and cannot charge on the go .
Easiest way is to have 2 stroke or manual back up such as edging shears etc until you can upgrade or buy more battery's to conserve what you use .
How many hours of battery time do you estimate you need per day ?
I think that might be the option have teo stroke machine with me am roughly about 7-8 hours a day
The best solution is, unfortunately, to have a lot of batteries! This issue was addressed by Bosch who brought out a massive 240V powerbank with its Pro range of battery garden tools in around 2015. Originally costing about 2 Grand, I bought one eventually at a massively reduced price. It is transportable although large and extremely heavy. Basically you could run two mains chargers (of any brand) off it to recharge a few packs. We use it at home now as backup electricity supply for broadband etc in case of a powercut. It is limited in what appliances it will run, something like 250 Watts maximum. And would need recharging frequently. So better to have more actual battery packs really
I thought having 6 batteries would be enough but unfortunately its not i was looking at the anker powerhouse but thats quite pricey aswell
Lawnmowers, Blowers and the more powerful Strimmers can eat through batteries at an alarming rate. I gradually built up my stock of batteries, buying when there's a deal on, even second hand ones. Obviously they have a life span albeit several years, so occasionally sell off a few older ones if they are still good. I run Stihl battery mowers but also 2 different Bosch 36 Volt types of mower. My blowers are the higher output Ego 56 Volt ones. As I found the Stihl battery blowers a bit underwhelming
I jave the fsa 135r and the battery doesnt last at all on that same with the kma 135 the bg86 is a bit under power does the job what a need it for not sure how it would be in the rain might have to buy a couple of the new ap500s
A mobile power pack with a 230v inverter should be suffient. Charge it up at home each night and then use during the day. What batteries are you using?
I could be wrong but to run a reasonably fast mains charger and re fill a few 36V Stihl AP300S 281Wh packs the power bank would need to be the size of a brief case and have a four figure price tag, sadly
I did look in to the anker powerhouse which will charage the battery's but like you a very pricey the wiestion is do i invest in that or get four extra batteries hope they will last the fully day
Its all ap300s i am using going to invest in some ap500s
