The guys who converted their plug-in mowers to battery power on the ES forum were saying that 80 volts nominal of LiPo cells would do the trick with no noticeable performance difference, some used that voltage but others used whatever their voltage their e-bike used if it was more than 80 volts. In my case I'm running 65 volts nominal of NiMh cells as that was all I had on hand but have PMed some people seeing if I can get more as the mower is a bit weak at this voltage but does the job.
