Electric lawn mowers, robotic mowers and garden machines - commercial and residential - run on 48 V to 72 V packs and charge from ordinary household outlets. It is one of the fastest-growing segments of small electric vehicles, and one where a compact, sealed charger matters.
Echelon builds compact on-board and portable chargers for garden equipment, such as the 1.9 kW Portable & On-Board Charger.
What Electric Garden Equipment Needs from a Charger
- A voltage window covering the full charge range of 48 V to 72 V packs
- Compact size and light weight - space on a mower or garden machine is limited
- Charging power matched to the window: 1.9 kW for most equipment, 3.3 kW for larger mowers
- Sealing and outdoor tolerance for machines used and stored outside
- Vibration tolerance for engine-bay and mower-deck loading
- A standard single-phase household input
Choosing the Charging Power
- 1.9 kW - the standard fit for garden equipment, light and works from any outlet
- 3.3 kW - larger commercial mowers or faster turnaround
- 1.9 kW portable - for equipment that charges away from a fixed point
