hello, i'm the guy with E15 problems, but i do know about rechrgables! I have 2. One is Black and Decker, the big one (1000)which my mother in law uses to cut her lawn everyday! it was ours some time back. we put in a new battery. it works very well. we picked up a Ryobi 2 years ago from Smith and Hawkens when they were closing them out. it is heavier and the charge doesn't seem to last as long as the B&D, but we use it as a backup. i don't know if anyone would be interested in the Ryobi, but it's in south suburbs of chicago near indiana border...

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.
