    We've had our Ego battery-powered mower for maybe five or six years and the battery is starting to act up. Our mower was $499 when originally purchased.

    Ego mower: $749, on sale for $699
    Replacement battery for said mower: $399

    The Ego is nice, but I'm glad I grabbed my friend's old gas mower a few months ago when she was cleaning out her garage. We managed to get it running again; it hadn't been started in a number of years because she got a landscaping service. At least now I have a spare in case the Ego goes.

    And I can use it to mulch leaves, which the Ego does not do well.

    I can only imagine how expensive it is if an electric car needs new batteries...

      Hoping a breakthrough in battery tech is coming.

        Have you checked to see if someone on Amazon/eBay offers a generic equivalent to your current battery?

          Yes, but often they are total junk. But I'll keep looking and reading reviews.
