Okay, so, the batteries. It's not using them one after the other - it's using them in parallel. Their 60 volt line is for torque-hungry applications, like ripping through thick lumber or bearing down on a grinder without bogging down. This is just essentially a sharpened flywheel -- it doesn't require power, it requires longevity. Sure, a 60 volt battery runs "3 times longer" in 20 volt mode, but that only gets you to the AH value written (usually 9 AH on the flex volt batteries). By putting TWO 20 volt batteries in parallel, it's essentially turning two 10 AH batteries into one 20 AH battery. And that's giving you RUNTIME. Lots of runtime. It's lawn mower - if it doesn't last for a whole job, you're SOL. But here's the catch: since they drain at the same time, if one is a 5 AH battery, it will run out before the 10 AH battery and essentially become a resistor. At that point the system doesn't have enough power. That's why you need to use two of the same battery.

Could do double flexvolt as an option and really offer great power and runtime. 120v mower. If im not mistaken ego self propelled come with 7.5ah while dewalt would only be able to offer 4ah so runtime could def be an issue with only 1 flexvolt

After while a unsharpened blade pulls and rips grass Not Good. I was in Home Depot yesterday and the shelves were filled with these cordless mowers. People are going to purchase these machines cause they don’t want hassle of gas and oil but won’t maintain the cordless model like properly charging batteries leading them to keep purchasing more , returning the one they bought or junking it.

I have the same complaint and bewilderment as you on the 20v design. They didn't even have to design a new battery to make a high voltage mower. They could have very easily designed this thing to run on 120 volts with two 60 volt batteries in series. With a well-made motor I think it would have made a very efficient mower. Another option would have been to maybe do two 60 volt motors with one mounted to a front wheel and the other mounted to the wheel next to it. Although I think one large motor at 120 volts would probably be the most efficient. My plan is to keep my super old gas mower running long enough for them to eventually put out a 60 volt or 120 volt mower.

If you are having trouble with run time then the problem is simple, the batteries are not large enough. Two of DeWalts larger 60V batteries with their 60V motors would give you plenty of runtime.

Bought the exact same unit and ended up returning it for the EGO 2135SP self propelled. A little bit more expensive than the Dewalt but worth it in my opinion as it has way more features like the easy access and fun to control self propelled control, simply height adjustments, dual blade, easy handle adjustments, retracting/telescopic handle, battery power and overall power, fast charger, ball bearing wheels, and much more. That flimsy speed control on the Dewalt is pathetic and toy-ish and the wobbliness or flexing of the handle where it connects to the deck it concerning for longevity. Come on Dewalt! Anyway, seeing and trying the Ego is believing and it appears really solidly built from what I can see so far. Also, this Ego feels more powerful than the 6.5hp Craftmans with Briggs engine I was coming from and which I used for the past 20 years. The self propelled is definitely faster too than the Craftsman. I really wanted to like the Dewalt mower as I have all Dewalt tools/batteries and wanted to switch to battery for a mower plus I have a Dewalt service centre near my place but I was disappointed with this new generation mower. Now that I reluctantly made the move to have two battery platforms, It's Dewalt for me for power tools and Ego for OPE. I had the Dewalt trimmer which I really Iiked and the blower which was not bad either but I ended up selling both due to how these companies get you with kitting. Now I have the Ego 650CFM, 180mph blower and their mulitool system with trimmer. Holy crap the blower is leagues above the Dewalt I had and the Trimmer too. I could literally stand on a skate board with the blower, turn the blower on, and start cruising down the street. This blower blew twigs out of the thick Kentucky bluegrass for me and more leafs from out the river rock than I was able to before. I still love my Dewalt tools though but was really hoping this was gonna be the year Dewalt came through on their OPE. Sadly it wasn't and now it's too late and its EGO for me for OPE.

This mower doesn't not require 60V to work...20V is enough to cut grass. The 60V batteries are for heavy equipment tools.. They did the right thing with providing two 20v that are 10 amps... That means, your mower is going to last a lot longer...

This guy is a dud. Talks about the lawnmower folding and griping about the batteries half the video. He answered his own question about the batteries and how the mower uses them. At the beginning he said he doesn't know if it uses one first and then the other or both at the same time. Then later in the video he talks about how you can't use two different size batteries because it uses one and then the other...come on man...

I believe the reason it's 20v and not 60v is for runtime reasons. The runtime of a battery will theoretically be inversely proportional to the number of volts used while in use. So if it used 60v, the runtime would a theoretical 1/3 of the same size battery at 20v. Of course, real world use can differ drastically. And my only gripe with this tool is the runtime, not power (not DeWalt's fault, just a lawn size thing), so I'm sure the product engineers were also trying to fix that the best they could. I'm not an electrical engineer, so if I'm wrong on this, anyone feel free to correct me. I like learning. Good video, as always.

Been using this for a week now a d there's little trick you should know you can literally use it as push mower since is not that heavy to push and that the battery go from 60 minutes to 80 min also it easily choked on high grass about in about 5 ft tall but will still do the job just don't push it through if you cutting any grass higher than average about 2 to ft tall and never use self propelled when cutting anything within that range ,you can still use it as push mower and will do the work and save you a batter life .lastly if you doing cutting on a higher grass 2 to 5ft plz adjust the wheels to 5th level to avoid choking on grass and you should be fine .
