Homelite 1300 Watt Lawn Mower Questions & Answers

I got it on special at Bunnings a long time ago - about $200. The lead/acid batteries lasted about 4 years. I replaced them with 8 off LiFePO4 10Ah cans. These are much lighter than the two lead/acid batteries.

There are now a wide range of battery mowers using Lithium batteries. The latest mowers all have removable batteries so it is possible to have a fully charged spare battery. A battery mower is great for a small lawn. There is no handling of fuel; there is no smell; there is no effort in starting the engine and there is less noise. I am uncertain if Homelite still sell a battery mower - there are plenty to choose from.

I have not replaced the switch. If you GOOGLE the part number you may find it. I replaced the batteries with much lighter lithium batteries a few years ago.

Do not know the part number. One of the contacts for the switch broke off probably due to age. My machine is 7 years old.

Safwan - I have not needed to replace the brushes in my motor yet. If I did I would look at what is available on Ebay. You may find the exact brushes in the USA. If not get a pair that are a little oversize and file to fit. They are reasonable soft and can be filed easily enough.
