4. Minimal maintenance- Cordless mowers have no engine which means there are fewer moving parts and no need to add and check fuel levels.
5. Reduced noise levels- The use of a lithium-ion battery makes the STIHL RMA mowers incredibly quiet. The electric motor means you can mow at a time which suits you best without having to worrying about bothering your neighbours.

How to choose a STIHL cordless lawmower

In general, to find a lawnmower which best suits your needs you should be looking at things like size, weight, cutting height. There is a range of batteries to chose from. For example, within the AP battery range all batteries emit equal power with different running times. Choose according to your garden is incredibly important so you will need to compare and contrast these technical specifications with your garden type.

For example, if you have a smaller garden you should be looking at models in the RMA range which have a shorter battery life as you are unlikely to be mowing for long periods of time. The STIHL RMA235 14" Lawnmower would be perfectly sufficient with a mowing area per charge of 250 m² when using an AK20 battery. At Mower.ie the RMA235 is sold in a set which includes the AK20 Battery and AL101 Charger. This model is also available as a tool body only for those who may already have a battery and charger.

Ease of use is also a key factor to consider when considering purchasing a cordless mower. TheSTIHL RMA448 VC 19" Lawnmower is a standout model in terms of easy of use as the variable speed option means the mower is self-propelled.As a result, you do not have to physically push it along. The working speed of the mower can be adjusted to suit your desired stride from a relaxing stroll to a brisk pace.

The lithium-ion battery

The lithium-ion batteries used in the STIHL RMA lawmower range are the highest quality batteries. These batteries are known for holding their charge so while the mower is idle the battery will stay charged and ready for use. From the STIHL RMA 235 to the STIHL RMA 448 VC, the cutting power and running time across the range is exceptional. As lightweight and compact batteries they also fully charge very quickly.

At Mower.ie we stock a range of chargers which can be used to charge the lithium ion batteries used in STIHL's cordless lawnmowers:

• STIHL AL101 charger
• STIHL AL300 charger
• STIHL AL500 charger

When your mower has to work harder due to long, thick grass this will affect the battery charge. An eco mode setting features on all of the STIHL RMA models. When the grass is shorter and dry the the lawn mower motor will automatically adapt and use less power as less power is required. As a result, the STIHL battery-powered lawn mower consumes very little energy and can cover a larger area before it needs to be recharged.

STIHL's pro batteries are conveniently interchangeable with other products within the pro cordless range. This is ideal if you have multiple STIHL cordless tools. All Models within the RMA 4 series cordless lawnmower range have two battery slots meaning you can have a spare battery ready to go, allowing you to double your maximum mowing area her charge without having to take a break.
