but my grandma is asking if I can start mowing her yard, so think im going to bite the bullet and buy the new brushless ryobi 40v self propelled when one goes on sale. I just cant fork out 600 for one, not yet.
looking at these 2, the handles look different, I think the 599 looks better easier, so if she wants to cut it, it would be better. I wish ryobi had AWD push mower. my Husqvarna AWD is a monster.

I used to have 4 40V batteries: 1 6Ah, 2 5Ah, and 1 3Ah.
Ryobi 40V lawnmower is known to kill the battery without warning to user. When the battery's voltage is dropped too low (one of mine was as low as 6.5V), and all the Ryobi battery chargers of different types refuse to charge the battery.
One of my 5Ah batteries (both 5Ah batteries came with the lawnmower order) had low voltage. All researches on Google did not work for me. I sent it to Ryobi for warranty repair in October last year and it is still sitting at the repair shop (very bad warranty service of Ryobi). At the same time that I sent in my battery for service, I bought 6Ah HP battery on eBay for backup (my lot is 13500 sq ft), but my lawnmower would not accept HP battery because it is too big for the battery slot. I then sold it on Facebook marketplace and bought 6Ah battery.
By this time I have 2 6Ah (one bought from HD when it had special buy deals), 1 5Ah, and 1 3Ah batteries. From lesson learned from 5Ah battery earlier, I would not let each battery's capacity drain to a low level. I mow my lawn for every 15 minutes and swap out the battery and charge battery at the same time. I have 3 40V chargers and all are charging the batteries simultaneously while I mow my lawn. Last month I forgot my own rule of 15 minutes and one of my 6Ah batteries "died".
I just bought this 40V dc-to-dc converter, hopefully to revive my dead battery (I have tried all other methods without success):

I hope this will help someone out there.

I paid big money for it. But I used to have a smaller yard and this was meant for that, then I got half an acre and since I'm fenced I just walk it around the perimeter once and back in shed it goes. Then comes out the rider
Edit
When I bought my home, the people before me paid like 40 a week for cutting. I said screw that!! I paid 1400 for my cub cadet xt1 and 5-6 years hasn't missed a beat. Saves that much in one summer alone probsbly.
The solar panel idea was a good one, as I wanted to leave it in shed always. Before I put it in garage on tender over winter but didn't like it using my space
For me. Gas is currently more economical. When I do get a electric rider I will add more solar panels or whatever to be able to charge the 48v output or whatever so doesn't need to be in my garage

If you don't ever use more than 50% of the charge, they should last quiet awhile.
