I charged it over lunch, but not to full. Cut some more and ran it dead. (Luckily it shuts off the mower before going entirely dead so you can drive it back to the garage - which is handy.) Then I charged it for another hour or so. (Again, not to full.) I managed to finish the yard at that point. It's *possible* that maybe I could do the whole yard with one *full* charge break. Maybe. But that's the thing - given its 1.5 acre capacity I didn't expect to have to.

    At one point it was down to 10% or so. I went up one of the hills and watched it drop an entire percentage point. I went back down and then back up the hill again. It dropped another whole percentage point. The hills are murder for this. Obviously they tested this on a totally flat 1.5 acre lot (maybe one with a HUGE house on it, too). So all in all, this is very disappointing.
