Yeah, sure, I could spend even more money on bigger batteries for it. (And maybe I eventually will.) But that's just a bandaid, isn't it? If I'm right about needing at least one full recharge for my yard, then I don't even think I could get a single pass even if I replaced all SIX of the batteries with Ego's biggest (and wildly expensive) batteries. I fear that the energy math just doesn't work here.

    And the disappointing thing is... I can't tell if this is a case of not doing the math correctly or just not having the info. How could I have known? They said it'd cut 1.5 acres. Probably some fine print says "(must be totally flat)." But I missed it. (And maybe didn't want to see it.) How do you factor in the slopes? But there's no returning it or something without a huge financial loss. Even if I were to somehow exchange it magically for the tractor version it won't fix the battery issue.
