The economics of cheaper batteries
A kilowatt hour of car battery pack costs ~$150 now. I was looking at battery powered lawn mowers last night, and noticed that a 0.42 kWh battery pack costs $350[0]. I know that power tool batteries have different requirements than car battery packs, but that base .42 kWh should still be under $100.<p>I feel like this is the printer&#x2F;razor model, where you sell the base item for cheap, but the consumables cost are extreme.<p>Although, for long lasting durable goods, you have to make money somewhere, as a good battery mower may last a very long time.<p>0: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.egopowerplus.com&#x2F;ego&#x2F;topics&#x2F;kilowatt-hours-kwh-required-to-fully-charge-the-5-ah-battery?topic-reply-list[settings][filter_by]=all&amp;topic-reply-list[settings][reply_id]=20372921#reply_20372921" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;community.egopowerplus.com&#x2F;ego&#x2F;topics&#x2F;kilowatt-hours...</a>
