Hello there,
Thanks for your feedback and the detailed numbers – that really helps.
You mentioned that the LiDAX Ultra 1000 has a claimed coverage of 0.25 acres (about 1012 m²) , but your lawn is only 200 m², and you're only getting about 150 m² (roughly 75%) per charge. Let me explain a bit.
First, a quick clarification:
The 0.25 acres (1012 m²) number is typically the maximum coverage under ideal conditions – think flat terrain, healthy grass, reasonable mowing frequency, and few obstacles. It's not necessarily what you'll get every single charge. In real-world use, even on flat ground, things like grass type, density, moisture, and how often you mow can all affect how much area the mower can cover on one charge.
Your situation sounds pretty normal:
You're currently covering about 150 m² per charge, which is 75% of your lawn
That's actually within a normal range for real-world use
Different lawn conditions (grass type, thickness, humidity, etc.) can cause actual coverage to vary from the claimed numbers – a 10–20% difference is pretty common.
So, is the battery faulty?
Based on the numbers you shared, it's hard to say it's a battery issue just yet. Here's what I'd suggest:
Try mowing more often – every day or every other day. That reduces the load per session and usually helps improve coverage.
Keep an eye on it – see if the coverage keeps dropping over time.
If you start noticing that charging takes much longer than before, or the runtime keeps getting worse, then it might be time to look at the battery.
Hope this helps clear things up. Feel free to ask if you have more questions! |
