I too just bought the propelled version and looked for video because I couldn't find the booklet and of course, when I saw you open your battery compartment, I started laughing. So far, I enjoy mine and hope you do as well. Thanks for the great video.

Nice review. I just got the 60v self propelled version and am very happy so far. I have to agree that it’s light enough that the self propel is more or less unnecessary. I didn’t realize that the push version came with 2x 9ah batteries instead of the 2x 12ah that mine came with. Either way, I’ve been using my existing 9ah batteries to mow and find the runtime sufficient. I have 5 of them and it takes roughly 1 1/2 to mow either my front or back yard, so I’d still be good even if I did the whole property in one go, including use of my Flexvolt string trimmer and leaf blower. I’ll likely sell the as of yet unused 12ah ones it came with.

Thanks! Yeah I know what you mean about too many batteries. These are our first Flexvolt batteries, but for 20V tools I'm always trying to find bare tools or open box/slightly used ones instead of buying the kits to not end up with a bunch of extra small batteries and chargers that I don't need.

@@HenReviews Hard to say. If you're mowing in curves and not straight lines then you may be fighting the self propelled one when turning. Did you end up buying one?

The reason it doesn’t need two batteries is because it’s already running at the higher voltage of 60v… The two x 20v mower runs at 40v, but half the amps. So two 20v 10amp batteries gives you 40v at 5amps. Double the voltage, you half the amps. So the 60v 12ah is running at the full 60v and will have the full 12ah capacity at that voltage.

I wonder why they think it needs two chargers. Only having one charger was an obvious oversight for the first gen 2x 20V Max mower since it required two batteries. They rectified that with the second and third gen 2x 20V Max mowers, but the FlexVolt mower never needed that since you can charge one while you use the other.
@ThePatchworkPlotАй бұрын
They probably cost less than $10 to make would be my guess. I've now seen these DCB1104 charges sell for as little as $25 on sale occasionally at places like Woot.

Is the deck plastic or steel?
@emmettturner9452Ай бұрын
There is no 20 volt version. The reason they refer to it as “2x 20V Max” is because it’s really 36v nominal (40v max). Unlike the 40v Ryobi mower and yard equipment, this one takes the standard 18v (20V Max) tool batteries and doubles them up. They never would’ve made a true 18v/20V Max mower because that simply isn’t enough. 36v is barely enough. 56v/60V Max is enough for many more, but there’s a reason other brands that don’t start with a power tool battery have even higher voltage lines, like 80v.

QUESTION: how to clean? Since can not spray electrical with water hose.
@ThePatchworkPlot3 ай бұрын
I've just been blowing it off every few uses with an electric blower to get the dusty dirt off, but haven't had to clean it with water yet. I wouldn't recommend hosing it since the battery compartment is not sealed. It's just plastic on plastic with no rubber gasket.
@bossmanz284 ай бұрын
The "20v" version takes 2 because it is technically 40v. They call it 20v x2. Will not work off 1. They should have made it tho be able to take both batteries at once but not required. Extend runtime without stopping to change battery. They did it for the snowblower but not this. Doesnt make sense
@ThePatchworkPlot3 ай бұрын
Gotcha, I looked into that after recording the video. Does the snowblower draw power from both 60V at the same time or does it drain one first and then start using the second battery?
@philipjohn41493 ай бұрын
A snowblower requires much more torque. The ego 60 v can run off 1 or 2. The second on is only used for peak amp draw. Dewalt may have done this incase some slides a 3 amph battery in. This is still not a parallel set up... where better to have same battery size in.
@bossmanz283 ай бұрын
@@ThePatchworkPlot I'm not sure as I don't have it but I do know it will work off of just 1. May perform better with 2 if it draws from both at same time like you said

So i guess the question is how heavy is it compairing to a similar gas mower? Asking because the wife mows sometimes and would be helpful if it were signifigantly lighter
@ThePatchworkPlotАй бұрын
I don't have a scale to weigh it, but it definitely feels lighter than a gas mower. Very easy to push around.

Another tip is. Only fold away if you have too. Winter time or transportation...etc. less folding will protect the wires from bending long term.

That looks really bad along the driveway. I am guessing that shallow deck just can't handle long grass very well. There's a reason nobody else does that. Deeper decks generate more lift to stand up the grass. And you can have one battery in at a time? I don't understand what DeWalt is thinking.

Nice. The 20v x 2 combo parellel format..has 2 to get 40 v for 10 amph if it still comes with the 10. Parallel is always half of the 2 amp hours. Yours should be far superior at 60v brushless motor and 9 amph. Much better with power and heat control.. the flex 60 might be the best battery ever made. Just stop using when low. Never keep draining Dewalt snowblower is 2 in a combo in a series form... so also 60v. It always needs 2 to run i heard..

Yeah I quite like the Flexvolt system. We have the 17" DCST972 string trimmer now, along with the DCBL772 blower, and the DCCS677 20" chainsaw. I built a DIY 12.6AH Flexvolt battery as well last month by buying one of the replacement shells/control boards you can get and 15 Molicell P42A cells. It cost less than $100, when a real one is $200 plus and works great. The 12.6AH DIY battery stays in the mower, and the 9AH batteries that came with the mower stay on the string trimmer and the blower.
