The RMA 248 battery-powered lawn mower is a robust, steel-decked mower for keeping the lawn in check in medium-sized gardens.
This mower is simple to use and easy to push around the garden. The 55-litre polymer grass catcher box has a fill level indicator so you know when the box is full and needs emptying. And it's quiet, thanks to the AK battery that powers it.
There are two battery slots in the RMA 248, with one live slot and one for storage, so that you always have a spare battery to hand no matter how far from the shed you are! It's part of the AK battery system, which has interchangeable batteries that can be used in the other tools in the range. It has an ECO function that conserves battery life when full power isn't needed too.
