STIHL RMA 235 Cordless Lawnmower (Battery Charger Kit) 6311 011 1411
The advantages of the STIHL RMA 235 rechargeable mower are clear to see: at only 14kg it is incredibly lightweight making it easy to handle especially in small gardens. Combined with a foldable handlebar and carry handle, the RMA 235 can be transported and stored with great ease. The necessary energy is provided by the STIHL COMPACT battery system using high-quality Lithium-Ion batteries. The motor unit is also equipped with an always-on eco mode, which, together with the flow-optimised blade, ensures maximum efficiency when mowing. The RMA 235 rechargeable mower boasts central cutting height adjustment allowing you to choose from five height settings, with a scale showing the current setting. The easy-to-open grass catcher box has also been designed to maximise air flow inside the box and collect as much grass as possible. It can be released and emptied in just a few simple steps. The RMA 235 has been awarded a Quiet Mark, which means it is among the quietest mowers on the market, as well as a Gardeners’ World Best Buy.
Carrying handle The STIHL battery-powered lawn mower has a carrying handle integrated into the housing for ease of transport. The handle makes the cordless mower easier to load or return to the upright position. The carrying handle is also suitable as a lashing point, for example for securing the lawn mower with a strap during transport. Foldable grass catcher box The innovative grass catcher box is made of plastic and features a folding mechanism that makes it particularly easy to open and empty. The current of air produced during mowing blows the clippings into the grass catcher box and ensures its optimum filling. Special vanes in the box channel the air towards the ground, and so protect the user and lawn mower alike from dust and dirt that has been thrown up. A level indicator in the grass catcher box signals the right time to empty the box, saving it from being emptied too early or too late. Flow-optimised blades The flow-optimised blade trims the grass with minimal resistance, only swirling the air as much as absolutely necessary. As a result it consumes minimal battery capacity, which means that the stored energy is sufficient for the largest possible area. Central cutting height adjustment The central cutting height adjustment on this STIHL battery-powered lawn mower is spring-loaded making it easy to operate, and has several adjustment levels to obtain the desired cutting height for the lawn. The current height is indicated by a scale. In this way, the grass can always be optimally adapted to the conditions of the lawn surface and the use. Polymer housing The housings of the STIHL battery-powered lawn mowers are made of a high-quality polymer material. This extremely lightweight polymer housing combines high resistance and robustness against forces, heat and UV radiation. Easy-running wheels The easy-running wheels of our cordless lawn mowers are extremely robust and hard-wearing. They have been equipped with a traction pattern and directional stability tread pattern for effortless manoeuvring and perfect line holding during mowing. Foldable handlebar Thanks to its foldable handlebar, the battery-powered lawn mower can be quickly and easily folded. This enables the STIHL lawn mower is be stored very compactly or moved to the next place of use Eco mode Eco mode automatically adapts the speed of the lawn mower motor to the actually required power. As a result, the STIHL battery-powered lawn mower consumes very little energy and can cover a larger area before it needs to be recharged. Eco mode is permanently activated on this particularly efficient model.

About 25 years ago, my then-hubby and I were at a big box store and bought a Black Decker battery-powered lawn mower on sale at the end of the summer season. We had a very small yard at the time and that little mower was just perfect. Though it used older-style NiCad batteries that took all night to recharge, it worked like a champ and would cut our entire postage-stamp sized lawn on a single charge. The best part is that we could put away the gas can and never deal with smelly, gassy hands or spills on our driveway.
Fast-forward to my current house which has a much-larger yard. For about 5 years, I’ve used a STIHL RMA-370 Lithium battery-powered mower and have really loved it. With its more powerful Lithium batteries that refresh in about an hour, I can cut the whole lawn and still have time for a mint julep when I am done.
While it’s true that battery-powered lawn mowers, trimmers and other outdoor tools can cost more initially than gas models, the payoff is in zero-emissions, no oily/gas mess and smell, less noise, lighter weight, push-button rather than pull-cord start, and the versatility of using the batteries in multiple outdoor tools. For instance, my mower battery can also be used to power my trimmer.
My one piece of advice. if you are a newbie to battery powered tools, choose your brand and stick with it. Since you can often switch batteries from one item to another within a brand, you will save space and potentially quite a bit of money by investing in extra batteries that fit all of your various tools rather than having to buy different batteries for each different brand.
My one piece of advice. if you are a newbie to battery powered tools, choose your brand and stick with it. Since you can often switch batteries from one item to another within a brand, you will save space and potentially quite a bit of money by investing in extra batteries that fit all of your various tools rather than having to buy different batteries for each different brand.
Doug Wallace, who owns Casey’s Lawn Equipment. a STIHL dealer and lawn engine repair shop in east Dallas, noted that in addition to the environmental benefits of battery-powered tools, they generally need less maintenance than their gas-powered counterparts.
“By using STIHL’s battery powered equipment, it provides no harmful emissions, which means it doesn’t negatively impact the space around you, nor the air that you’re breathing in,” said Wallace. “This means that if you struggle with harmful fumes due to gasoline, it eliminates that issue entirely as well as cuts down on maintenance costs, which means less time spent waiting for your equipment to be repaired, less money spent on the overall cost of repair, and more time doing the things that you enjoy.”
Even professional lawn care companies are turning more and more to battery-powered.
Mona Hall, who with her husband, Ron Hall, owns Ron’s Organics, a DFW eco-friendly landscaping company, says that they use both Toro and STIHL in their business. She likes the battery-powered tools for another reason.
“They are generally lighter-weight,” said Hall. “I use a battery powered lawn mower, blower and edger. It’s very light weight and easy for me [a female] to operate.”
Note that although there are still some older-technology NiCad batteries out in the marketplace, lithium is much better. Not only can lithium batteries be recharged hundreds of times but they don’t have a charge “memory” that degrades the batteries prematurely. Lithium batteries are lighter weight and also recharge much faster. Just be sure to recycle them properly at the end of their lives. Most hardware stores and big boxes will take any brands of both NiCad and lithiums for recycling.
Over the last year, I had a chance to test or review several brands of electric mowers and here’s my opinion:
The electric STIHL RMA 510 V starts with the push of a button. Photo courtesy of STIHL.
The nice folks at STIHL were kind enough to send me their newest mower to give it a good test run to compare it to my older model. The updated RMA 510 V has a full 20-inch metal cutting deck, about 40 percent larger than my old RMA-370. I found the self-propelled feature to be a real plus on longer stretches of lawn. with variable speeds and an adjustable handle to accommodate even shorter folks like me. The mower can still be used without the self-propel turned on and I found that it was actually easier in the smaller areas of my yard.
My only negative about the SP feature is that it is real-wheel drive. If you are running the SP and you need to stop, your natural inclination is to tip the mower back onto its rear wheels. but since those are the drive wheels, it just keeps going. It takes a bit of getting used to as you must tip the mower forward or reach over to shift off the SP quickly.
The brushless electric STIHL motor starts with the push of a button and is so quiet that I can even mow in the early morning or late in the evening without disturbing my neighbors. It was powerful enough to plow through my 12-inch tall grass with ease and can be switched from bagging to mulching in just a few seconds. I cut my front lawn (about one-quarter acre) on one battery charge but my grass was unusually tall and thick on test day. The mower does have an extra slot to store a second battery if you want extended run-time on the go.
The STIHL batteries also fit a variety of their brand outdoor tools such as weed wackers, hedge trimmers, tree nippers and more. The charger refreshes the battery in less than an hour. According to the company, STIHL batteries are based on 36-volt lithium-ion technology, hitting the “sweet spot” of power and run time. The AP 300 is touted as keeping more than 80 percent of its battery capacity after 500 charges.
STIHL RMA 339 BATTERY LAWN MOWER. KIT
The biggest advantages of the STIHL RMA 339 are that is lightweight, cordless and easy to handle. Its innovative STIHL AK battery system runs off powerful lithium-ion cells. The batteries can be used for many other STIHL machines with this battery system by simply unplugging and replugging them. For especially economical mowing, collecting and retrofittable mulching, use the activatable eco mode. It automatically adapts the motor speed to the required power, for the greatest possible mowing time. The flow-optimised blade also increases the energy efficiency. This saves valuable battery capacity and increases the coverage. But that is not all: the lawn mower is also equipped with a foldable grass catcher box as well as central cutting height adjustment. This enables the compact machine to achieve the best results on small and medium-sized lawns, and its straightforward handling makes it popular with all gardeners.

No Fuel, No Fumes, No Pull Cord.
My wife and I recently had our first child. So with our new baby we decided I would continue to work and my wife would stay home full time. With our new responsibilities my wife wanted to help out with some of the chores I typically do around the house. So while I put in extra hours at work, she is planning to take mowing the lawn off my list.
With our gas engine mower, the idea of her dragging it out of storage, fumbling with fuel, starting it with it’s pull cord, and dealing with the noise and fumes, I wasn’t comfortable having her take on this task. But with the STIHL RMA 410 Battery Powered Lawn Mower weighing only about 45 lbs., emitting far less noise than traditional mowers, with zero emissions, and instant starting, this mower is a game changer for household chores.
Convenient, Lightweight, Easy to Store.
The task of mowing the lawn is the last thing you want to do on the weekend. So, regardless of who’s mowing the lawn, this unit makes quick and convenient work of lawn care.
Powered by a 36-Volt Lithium Ion Battery there is no dealing with the added chore of getting gas, and checking your mower for fuel. And with only a touch of a button and the pull of the switch level this mower starts up fast, every time!
It’s also extremely easy to store. The brushless electric motor and lightweight design of the unit makes it lighter than even the most stripped down gas powered mowers. Plus it folds down with the touch of a button to make finding a place to store the mower easier than you thought.
Premium Features
If the convenience of this mower wasn’t enough. The STIHL RMA 410 Battery Powered Lawn Mower is also packed with premium features serious landscapers will love. First off, the mower is extremely quiet, a feature typically only offered by high end gas powered units.
Also the deck adjusts with a one handed single action lever, giving you 6 settings from 1″ to 3″ to suit your desired cut height. The adjustment on the deck is smooth but not too lose, you can effortlessly control the height of the deck with one hand. Selecting the appropriate height and securing the mechanism is obvious as you can see the pin catch the desired setting. Clippings are captured with the 14.5 gallon grass catcher, that features a fill indicator to let you know your ready to unload. Hands down this is a high quality mower with premium performance and features. Which unfortunately comes with a premium price.
Performance
Mowing with a unit that exhibits high performance with low weight makes for an effortless mowing experience. What makes mowing small spaces difficult is the frequent stops and turns, so a light agile mower is key. Comparable gas mowers of this weight are stripped down, budget models. The STIHL RMA 410 Battery Powered Lawn Mower is so light that almost any change in plane, turn, or reversal is effortless.
This model had more than enough juice for our tiny city lot. With limited storage, the ability to fold the unit and hand carry it to a small nook in our basement was not only convenient, but easy. The effort associated with getting the gas mower out of storage is tough enough, let alone the challenge of the pull start. The RMA 410’s push button start got me moving on the actual task of mowing the lawn instantly with no wasted effort.
