Questions & Answers

Can you use two different AH batteries at once in the mowe
ByJul 26, 2025

Answer This Question

Thank you for your question on the 36V Self-Propelled Lawn Mower Kit. You can use two different Ah batteries, but the mower will only run as long as the lower Ah battery lasts.

By|Sep 27, 2025

    When I discovered that my Makita mower was vibrating excessively with fresh 5 Ah batteries, I mixed a 4 Ah battery to reduce the oomph and calm the nerves on this beast. When the 4 Ah battery is halfway done, I rotate one fresh battery in its place.

      The lawnmowwer works with 2 x 18V bateries at once, correct? You say 55m on 4 batteries, does that mean each set of two batteries lasts less than 30m, then you need to install 2 newly charged batteries?

      Answer This Question

      Thank you for your question, Yes, The mower runs off of two batteries and yes you should get up to 55 minutes of run time from the use of four fully charged batteries but keep in mind that run times can vary depending on conditions like grass type, temperature, weather, cutting height, speed of cut, etc.

        Should you charge the batteries over the winter when the lawnmower is not in use

        Answer This Question

        Thank you for your question on the batteries for your XML11CT1 Walk Behind Self Propelled Lawn Mower. When not using the battery cartridge, remove it from the tool or the charger. Charge the battery cartridge if you do not use it for a long period (more than six months).

            Is the lawnmower self-propelled when you pull it backwards or is it hard to go backwards with this lawnmower?
            BySep 26, 2024
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Thank you for your question. The XML14 LXT mower does not have a reverse self-propelled function. Makita recommends using caution when reversing direction with the mower.

              Can I mow for longer than 50 minutes if I have additional Makita batteries? Or is it bad for the mower to be used for longer than 50 minutes?

              Answer This Question

              Thank you for your question. The XML11 LXT 36V 21" self-propelled lawn mower can continue with additional pairs of batteries until the job is complete.

                      Wimpy welds on the bag frame also terrible design. The bag frame broke. Weak drill batteries. Low power and torque. Do not buy these products. Get yourself a quality product like EGO.

                        I ordered the Makita 19" because the 13" was too narrow and also lacked the power I needed for my lawn. I remembered owning a 19" mower decades ago and so got a Makita, my favorite brand for tools. It did not disappoint, and the self-propelled feature and great power of two batteries made it a fun and efficient way to mow my lawn. Thanks Makita and thanks Home Depot for making this switch possible and easy.

                        Decent lawn mower for average person
                        Read all the reviews at multiple sites, positives and negatives. I am invested (like so many others) into the Makita platform. I thought I would give a go. HD has a great return policy. I have approx 5500 sq ft of St. Augustine grass. It took one full battery set(approx 35 min), and about 5 minutes into the second set to complete. I didn't use self-propel much as mower rolls easily w/o it. This will shorten battery time I'm sure. NOTE: dual charger is not the fast-charger. (not the RD model)

                          Spur gear in wheel broke after 2 months
                          The batteries that came bundled with do not last half as long as the batteries I already had. The spur gear in the left rear drive wheel broke. The wheel would not free spin. I had to take it apart and pull out the broken pieces to allow it to free spin and finish mowing. It’s not a great mower. But it’s still better than dealing with gas and sucking fumes. I am curious if I would have had better results buying a higher end model from Makita. This one seems kind of cheap and weak.

                            Love my battery operated lawn mower Handles my thick grass with ease The only reason I have a 4 star review is that it takes much longer than the stated 45min to recharge For me it doesn’t matter since 4 batteries is more than sufficient

                            Easy to assemble. A bit hard to find the serial number -- it's under one of the batteries!! Got my e-rebate blower SUPER quick!! I've mowed my yard three with it so far. Definitely good to have the 2 extra 5Ah batteries.

                            Works very well for my situation!
                            I bought this XML14CT1 to use only for my back lawn areas which are separated by curved flower beds and were very difficult to mow due to the amount of turning and backing up while using my gas mower. It turned a job into a pleasure. Recently, I tried this Makita on the front lawn and was very impressed (see photos). My front slopes up 4-feet in one direction and 3-feet in the other and is a real workout, even when using my self-propelled gas mower. I will be keeping and using both mowers.

                              Didn’t cut the grass
                              I went over my lawn a few times at levels 1,3 and 7. Literally not one piece of grass was cut. I’ve been having it mowed every other week, so it isn’t exceptionally long or short. I took the bag off and it is completely empty. I don’t know if the blade isn’t turning or if it is just to dull to cut anything. There are good reviews for this product so there may be an issue with this one specifically. Gave it 2 stars for east assembly. Photos from after mowing.

                                Piece of Crap
                                I spent extra money ($6006 for the Makita Cordless Mower because I expected a quality product. Boy was I wrong, the handle won’t stay in either of the 2 holes to adjust handle height. Result? I can’t go 10 feet without the handle coming off. Save yourself the aggravation and buy something else
