120 V AC to 120 DC Lawn Mower Conversion. CORDLESS !!

["Steven S. Lough" <slough@halcyon.com>]

Now I know from practical (jump it and try it) that 120 DC will run a
120 AC brush
type lawn mower just fine...   The problem is getting  up to or near 120
DC with
small lead acid batteries.

You look at the total volume and weight of DC batteries in a DC 24 volt
cordLESS
lawn mower, and the thing will run on not TOO tall grass for 20 minutes
or so.
Which would be GREAT

So couldnt a similar weight/size group of small 12v batteries be
gathered together
and do about the same ??  Or is there some OHMS Law thing at work that
would NOT work. Or I havn't taken in to consideration ??

What I am trying to get to here, is a pile of small 12v batteries, that
would be CLOSE
to the same SIZE and WEIGHT as the two small 12v batteries, in a 24v DC
cordless
lawn mower, except this would be rinning a 120v  brush-type mower. (of
course with
a suitable DC rated   ON/OFF switch )  Ya dont make that error except
ONCE.

Now if THESE assumptions are in line, wonder where some one could get 10
small
12v batteries for less than $100.

I guess what I should do is with a clamping ampmeter, measure the AC and
then DC
draw on such a set-up and then get small 12v batteries to compliment
THAT drain rate.

Wha-Da-Ya-Think ??
