Re: (ET) Rechargeable Push Mower Wanted

["David Roden (Akron OH USA)" <roden ald net>]

This was recently discussed on the EV list.  Several people mentioned the 
Black & Decker CMM-1000 and indicated they liked it pretty well.

There's a rechargeable mower with (I think) a swappable battery here:

http://www.cleanairmowing.com/electricmowers.html

It costs $260, which I think is significantly less than the B&D.  It's a 
pretty small mower, though -- only a 15" cut -- and it's out of stock 
until 
July anyway.  (FYI, I know nothing about this mower beyond what the 
website 
says, and I've never owned one.  I have a corded B&D MM-450, which is OK 
but 
not great.)

I'm considering converting a gas mower with an ET deck motor and blade, 
and 
3 small 12v gel batteries.
