The batteries on these are just golf cart batteries. You don't have to get them from a proprietary vendor. A huge advantage when these die. Leoch LPC12-75
3 years ago, we bought the 100Ah version of this, without the bagger. 3 years later, we still love it. We have 1.5 acres that are mowable, and we still have 35-40% battery left. All our yard equipment is now ryobi battery, except for the garden tiller.
I think it means the batteries still have juice after mowing that big yard, not the overall battery condition.

Looks nice but a few bad reviews here, with the most credible one mentioning the 75Ah model. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089CZ3...M52AXZNAEP

Nice, good to know. Looks like 100Ah batteries run about $200 a piece and you'd need 4 of them. A steep price to pay but hopefully they last 4-5 years. I'm certain it's still cheaper than EGO's typical proprietary battery packs. I love my EGO blower and trimmer but $250 for a single battery when the current ones finally die is going to hurt.
Key thing with lead acid is keeping the discharges shallow.

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

I have a Ryobi 75 amp riding mower now for 3 1/2 years and it still runs great. I did a test to see if I could exhaust the batteries, I cut my 1/3 acre yard,My two neighbors, and the HOA grass at the beginning of our community entrance. And I still had 40% battery left. These Lead acid batteries are very dependable.

I just picked up the ego the zero turn with 4-10 a batteries I like it slightly better than you Ryobi. The EGO will recharge in about an hour and a half, should I run the batteries down, whereas The Ryobi well take overnight to recharge. The ego zero turn cutting deck has a lot more power than the Ryobi deck, but the ego zero turn is much more maneuverable. I was going to sell the Ryobi, and just stay with the ego, but I like it still for cutting different areas and Hooking my little trailer up to It to haul stuff around.

The Ryobi has been maintenance free for 3 1/2 years, other than keeping air in the tires and sharpening the blades. My price on the Ryobi was 1600 bucks at the Direct tools, But the ego was almost 5 grand. Big price difference.
The seating on the ego is adjustable and very comfortable. But the big advantage is that E GO batteries can be swapped into a Weedwhacker or blower SHOULD those batteries die when you're not close to a charger. So it's very convenient. At Retail price between the Ryobi and the EGO , that battery swapping convenience is a consideration you may wantTo think about.

Cutting the grass is only half of the work, the other half is edging, weed whacking, and trimming hedges etc., and then blowing it off with the blower. I switched everything to ego, All the annoying gasoline engine noise is gone. I don't need to wear ear plugs to operate anything.

I've had almost all of the Ryobi 40 V yard tools and like them. They are not heavy duty they are very consumer in construction. I switched to all ego last year and the yard tools are more commercial in build and quality. The big advantage of her ego is the charge time on the batteries, I can charge my egos in about 45 minutes max, whereas the Ryobi's 40 V will take five hours.

I am really surprised that Ryobi does not up their game with their battery charging time. They have the technology, as they also manufacture Milwaukee, and Ridgid. Just my two cents.

The big advantage of the electric equipment is lack of noise, ease of start up, and not breathing in fumes. My neighbors do not now if I am cutting grass or not As they cannot hear the machines inside the house. Should I ever need lead acid batteries for my Ryobi tractor, I'll just run over to Costco pick up Ia set of four for about 600 bucks. They're not expensive.

You can't find a riding mower for $1k anymore, they mostly seem to be about $1500.
And never a zero turn. Zero turns are about $2500-3000 easy. Plus oil changes, seasonal upkeep and gas.

And then there's the ones we pro's use like my $13,000 EFI Husqvarna or my $25,000 JD diesel 72" but they are worth every penny when you mow big rural yards for part of your living.

Agreed. Considering you can get a Toro 42in ZT hydrostatic for $1100 less (not even on sale), or a 50in for $600 less, both eXmark like prosumer design. One thing about good old gas...it's not proprietary and you can buy a ton of it for the cost of battery replacement.

Yeah. Looked on YouTube and some folks say $400 each battery as early as 3 years.
I see these like the IPad. Fanboys thought it was Slick to get $10 off.

Nearly Dead After Only 2 Seasons.

We have the RY48110, which is the garden tractor style 75Ah model. While the mower itself is pretty great, we just started the 3rd "mowing season," (which isn't very long in Michigan) with this mower and I'm sorry to say the batteries are toast. Our yard is just under a half acre (.43 acres, to be exact). Can't finish it on one charge. When the mower was new, we could cut it about 3x on a single charge (never the 2.5 acres stated). Went downhill fast. It gets plugged in when not in use. Under deck gets checked/cleaned and blades sharpened every spring. So... couple/few hundred bucks to replace the batteries. Just finished paying it off. So much for saving on gas, oil, spark plugs, etc. VERY disappointed in that respect. Mower itself performs well, though.

Can someone explain the batteries for me, ?

I see people saying they cost $200 so not bad. The posted link says it's 100 ah. But then people say you need 4 of them and it would end up costing $800.

Why would we need 4 x 100 ah batteries?

Thanks

Likely 4 12V batteries in series to make the 48V for the system so you will have 4 12V 75Ah batteries.
