When the land steward powers up a bright green mower, does it change the serene morning sounds of the New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill? Not really. That’s because the mower runs on a battery. “Instead of hearing the loud sound of the motor, all you can hear is … [continued]
Last summer I bought a used 2017 Chevy Bolt. With a brand-spanking new battery, an 8-year warranty, and just over 20,000 miles, it was a good fit. Hubby installed an electrical outlet on the side of our rural country shed, and we were ready to charge for the majority of … [continued]
