[Dprglist] Ryobi battery packs

[John Swindle]

Is 160w enough to mow? I think corded electric mowers draw more than a kilowatt. Never measured it, but labels say big amps. (I've only ever owned electric mowers for 40 years. Don't last more than about 100 running hours, so I've had several.)

Jesse,    Looking at reviews of the battery it seems a fresh 40 volt 6Ahr battery put in an electric lawn mower lasts about 1.5 hrs. This means that the draw for its intended use is 4A (i.e., 160W)..

What I wonder is what the current ratings of a Ryobi pack like this is? Can I draw 10c?   😀😀
