The Homelite electric mower is a unique mower as it has a battery that runs the mower blades. The Homelite lawn mower is a fairly quiet lawn mower as it doesn't have a combustion engine, but this also means that you will have to plug the mower in every time it looses its charge. Over time the cells on the Homelite lawn mower battery wear out and only hold a charge for minutes. When this happens, you will have to replace the battery in your Homelite mower.
