Robotic Lawnmowers - Electricity Costs?

united4ever

I bought one of these and have set it up today. It's not a wireless one (basic Worx Landroid). Should I leave it plugged in all the time (until I put it away in the autumn)? I could just switch the plug off and plug it on on the days I want it to mow perhaps (maybe every other day would be fine) but would that be bad for the battery life to be left go dead again and again?. How much electricity do they use when plugged in constantly?


Thanks in advance

Charge the battery/machine right up and then switch it off. li ion batteries hold full charge for a long time, infact this is how it should be stored all winter. Try not to let the battery get really low, I expect the machine will return to it's pod to recharge if this happens anyway. As for cost not sure. You can buy those costaplug monitors which tell you how much electricity a device is using for about £12 If you are concerned at spiralling costs. I would think it would be minimal though, like charging your drill.
