Lawn care professionals and owners face reliability issues with electric equipment, especially battery failures and discontinued parts. An app providing battery health monitoring, replacement sourcing, and trusted electric equipment recommendations would address this gap.
“Multiple batteries for a $5,000 zero-turn mower failed simultaneously, replacements are discontinued, and the warranty claim has been ignored for 12 days, leaving the mower unusable and the lawn overgrown in West Virginia.”
“Need to place a Stihl robotic mower docking station in a small garden corner despite manufacturer's clearance requirements.”
