If you read the claims that Hustler is making they say UP TO 80 Minutes which tells me that run time will or is going to depend on the factors involved in usage like the type of grass you're cutting, height of the lawn, are there hills or slopes involved and so on. Combining all those factors can cut your run time and battery consumption drastically, and even with all the benefits described, I don't know if it will out weigh the price tag it's going to carry.
The other big drawback to battery operated equipment of most any kind is the cost of replacing the battery's and the battery's for that Hustler Zeon will not be cheap.

Yes Really on all accounts.:wink: It uses four 12-volt lead-acid batteries that powers twin DC deck motors. The batteries also power twin AC hydrostatic drive motors, one at each rear wheel and its top speed is only 6 mph. Am I possibly wrong about the price, only if pop mechanics is wrong, it costs right at $7000 and for a homeowner to invest that kind money to cut maybe a thousand feet of lawn is ridiculous. Operational costs? Lets see I mow 12 lawns a day at 30 minutes a lawn, that means I'll have to charge the batteries four times a day six days a week, I wonder how long they would last:thumbdown: a month maybe two? Heck that means I'll only replace the batteries four times a year And at the end of one season I wonder how many of those motors I'd have to replace?
Face the Facts, for a home owner the mower is to much of an investment, the home owner would be better off buying a ZTR from Home Depot and for commercial or residential lawn care, for a lack of a better term it's junk. :smile:
