New lawnmower

Your bloody lawn mower vehicle needs an upgrade.I've got an old MTD Yard Machine that I bought off my Brother In Law for a couple of hundred bucks and a set of 9" spotlights.
I live on a corner block on a steep hill and even with my Masport Self propelled, it used to near kill me in summer mowing the lawn. This one takes 10- 15 minutes and even has a cup holder for a cold beer

I told my brother-in-law once when we were camping that I was going to paint it John Deere green and he got the shits, I couldn't believe how much it annoyed him. Then again, he's hopeless on the piss.Your bloody lawn mower vehicle needs an upgrade.

Don't fuck with Lithium cells. Not worth it. Need to be paired cells with similar capacity, resistance and charge when set up. Just asking for a fire.

Exactly right! This is why I don't like messing around with them or trusting the batteries you can maybe find from eBay. These problems are only going to get worse as time goes on.

This is the problem.
People go out and buy bigger batteries form places like Ebay and AliExpress. Not only are they the cheapest and poorly made Chinese batteries, they don't upgrade their chargers which also causes problems.

I think that guy moonlights as an auctioneer, either that or he does ads for "As seen on TV"

I know a guy who converted a VW Beetle to electric using (a lot of) 18650 batteries. I couldn't believe my eyes. Still working after 5 years though...
That was exactly my reaction when he showed off what was under the bonnet where the petrol tank used to be. And the boot was a lot emptier than anything Ferdinand Porsche would have recognised.
I thought engineering and science would’ve been a bloody mistake.That was exactly my reaction when he showed off what was under the bonnet where the petrol tank used to be. And the boot was a lot emptier than anything Ferdinand Porsche would have recognised.
Without science, you can't have engineering. Ferdinand Porsche was a brilliant engineer, but remember electric cars were around long before him, and he couldn't have foreseen they would enjoy a resurgence 72 years after his death

So were steam driven cars but that doesn't mean they need to make a come back
True, but it looks like electric cars are finally being done right. We have a Hyundai Kona electric that's really very nice to drive. Right at this moment I'm using diesel to pull the caravan though.So were steam driven cars but that doesn't mean they need to make a come back
