Frequently Asked Questions

EcoTeq equipment is powered by a range of different batteries and brands, tailored to each unique application / model. Our Mowers are powered by Lithium batteries, while the Sweepers offer the option of Lead Acid, AGM or Lithium in some models.

EcoTeq electric equipment have built-in low-range warning indicator and a battery-reserve feature. When the battery is running low on capacity, all functions switch off, allowing you approximately 20 minutes of operation to return to a charging station.

From completely depleted, most batteries will charge in 8-12 hours. We typically recommend charging overnight.

Yes, there are fast charge options available for some models, which can fully charge the battery in as little as 3 hours.

Most of the equipment in the EcoTeq range come with an external charger that plugs into a standard power source and then connects to the machine. EcoTeq mowers will charge from a standard 240v power point, whilst some of the larger sweepers require a 3-phase plug. There are options on some models for onboard chargers, that can either connect to a power point or Type 2 Electric Vehicle Street Charger.

No, the battery always stays in your machine.

The cost of charging is subject to variables such as battery size, starting state-of-charge and electricity supply charges. As an indication, we estimate an overnight battery charge to be approximately $3-$5 per charge. This cost can be further offset by charging from renewable sources, such as adding an optional solar canopy to your mower.

Lithium batteries, such as those featured in EcoTeq’s mowers, have no memory. We recommend plugging the mowers in to charge after each use. This will not affect the life of the batteries. Lead Acid batteries however will develop memory and need to be discharged to 20% before recharging, to maintain maximum battery life

The life expectancy of batteries varies by type. The Lithium batteries that power EcoTeq mowers have a life expectancy of around 7000 hours. Lead Acid batteries however are measured in cycles, and can be recharged around 1500 times

The cost of replacement batteries varies significantly by each type and size. Please call us on 1800 100 150 for pricing relevant to your application.

According to the CSIRO, around 98% of lead acid batteries sold in 2010 were recycled. Approximately 95% of componentry in lithium batteries can be repurposed, and there are already some organisations tackling this challenge in Australia and internationally. EcoTeq is working on medium-term plan to support future battery recycling efforts in Australia.

Our equipment is produced from up to 95% recyclable materials.

Ecoteq encourage the use of renewable energy sources for charging where feasible, and offer solar canopies for use with our range of mowers. The national power grid is itself becoming “greener” each year, with the Clean Energy Council reporting that more than 27% of Australia’s electricity came from clean energy sources in 2020; wind and rooftop solar is reportedly leading the way.

We simply mean that our equipment will not produce emissions during operation. While we are mindful of minimising our impact on the environment at every stage in our journey, including the use of recycled materials and renewable energy sources in manufacture, unfortunately the technology is not yet available to allow for 100% zero emissions from production through to freighting and end-of-life processing. We are proud to be a forerunner driving positive change in this space and will continue efforts to minimise our impact.

EcoTeq have a network of service centres across Australia. For prompt support, you can call us 1800 100 150 or email

All of EcoTeq’s machines operate on a safe 48-volt system, so no formal qualifications are required. The threshold for specialist training and certifications is for equipment over 50 volts.

One huge advantage of Electric Vehicles is that they require very little maintenance, due to fewer moving parts and a direct drive system rather than belts or hydraulics. All that is required is some simple daily checks, keeping the machine clean and replacing wearing parts such as mower blades and sweeper brooms.

EcoTeq has invested in locally held inventory of spare parts and consumables, to ensure any downtime is kept to a minimum. With service centres located across Australia, we are confident we can get the parts you need to you fast, so you can get back on the job in no time.

All EcoTeq equipment is covered by a minimum 2-year commercial manufacturers’ warranty. Some manufactures offer longer and/or extended warranties. The battery warranty may be different to the machine warranty.

The batteries are covered by the battery manufacturers’ warranty. The Lithium batteries featured in our mowers are covered by a 5-year warranty limited warranty of 5-years or 1500 hours (whichever comes first). Years 1 & 2 parts and labour are covered. Years 3-5 parts only is covered. The battery warranty varies in our other equipment by model and battery type. We’d be glad to discuss this with you.

EcoTeq’s commercial mowers are engineered to power you through full days’ shift. From a single battery charge, you can expect:

• 7-8 hours of continuous run time
• Maximum speeds of up to 18.5km/hr
• Mowing coverage of up to 30 Acres (subject too model and deck size)

EcoTeq electric commercial mowers tackle long, toughened grass with ease. The power and torque of an electric mower is superior to traditional combustion engine machines. As the traditional machines relied on belts or hydraulics to transfer the power to the blade, there is always energy loss. With an Electric Mower, the blade is directly connected to a direct drive motor with zero energy loss allowing it to tackle the toughest applications. Removing the mulching plates further assists long grass slashing.

Yes, fine grass is no problem when mowing on the high-speed setting of 18,000 ft/p/m.

EcoTeq Mean Green mowers are certified to slopes of 20 degrees. The battery pack is mounted as such to ensure a very low centre of gravity, to maintain stability on slopes and uneven terrain.

EcoTeq mowers operate under 80dB, so hearing protection is at your discretion. Most operators find this to be a comfortable noise volume without hearing protection, akin to the hum of local traffic, but does vary depending on the type of grass being cut.

The blades are very similar to those of traditional mowers and have a similar life expectancy under the same operating conditions.

Yes, we offer catchers as an option on our side-discharge mower models.

EcoTeq mowers feature a direct drive system, meaning they don’t actually operate on spindles. If the blades hit a rock for example, the motors will turn off automatically.

Our mowers are produced by renown US manufacturer, Mean Green, and exclusively distributed in Australia by EcoTeq.

In order to offer you as our customers the very best pricing, EcoTeq have a direct-to-market model, with outlets all across Australia. Call 1800 100 150 for a no obligation conversation with a product solutions specialist.

Pricing of our commercial electric mowers is very much tailored to your preferences, offering you the choice of deck size, battery size, blower position, and other customisations such as catchers, solar charging canopies, lighting, registration and more.
