A:  Anything which produces more work is going to consume more power; the normal blades are made flat for that reason. The curved tip blades act as a fan thereby moving more air and using more power. Installing the mulching attachment causes the clippings to be cut multi-pable times thereby using more energy. The tires are almost smooth and very hard. This reduces rolling resistance and uses less power but produces a very harsh ride on rough surfaces. Evey thing is about increasing battery life. Looking at the expected battery life chart on a manufacturers web site there is not too much difference in battery life depending on depth of discharge. If you need to mow for two hours and run the batteries all of the way down you can expect the batteries to last 300+ cycles. If you stop and recharge @ 50% after one hour you can expect them to last for about 700 cycles but since it would take two cycles to mow for two hours you get +/- 350 mowings - a little better but not as much as some would have you believe.

A:  Are the mulching blades the same as the combo blades? I don't know which mine came with. I'm guessing the bagging blades since it came with a bagging system (which I don't use).

A:  Hi Moe1, The blades will not make the runtime less. Thanks for asking. Greg

A:  The blades move a lot more air which means more work is being performed which requires more energy so the batteries will not last as long - but probably not a lot less.

A:  Hi Moe1, The run time should be the same. Thanks for asking. Greg
