Details of Batteries Used In Lawnmowers 

As is already said only two types of batteries are used in
lawnmowers, the lead acid battery and the nickel cadmium (Ni-Cad
for short). The Ni-Cad batteries are better in performance and
are environment friendly. The lead acid batteries have to be
recycled. They cannot be dumped in garbage. The lead is a
dangerous chemical causing lead poisoning. For this reason when
you replace the lead acid battery, it has to be taken back to
the dealer.
