The mower does start but not for long. This is not a battery issue I believe. The Gtech SLM50 Small Cordless Lawn Mower is a lightweight and easy-to-use lawn mower propelled by hand. Powered by an 18V battery, it features a 31cm rotary blade with a cutting width of 25cm, making it ideal for small to medium-sized lawns. The included battery and charger ensure uninterrupted work, while the durable plastic construction in a sleek white, grey, or green colour adds a stylish touch to your garden. With a 2-year manufacturer warranty and a noise level of only 96 dB, this push lawn mower from GTECH is a reliable and efficient choice for maintaining your outdoor space.
