DeWALT announced a new Accent electric mower platform. One dedicated rider and one that can convert from a stander to a rider. It uses a new suitcase battery platform and accepts 5 of the batteries. The batteries will be a subscription service is what I heard. Kinda nice because upfront costs would be lower. One of the pre production models caught a bunch of attention at the show for unexpected reasons. It caught fire in the outdoor demo area.

I think that was the only tool (the one that caught fire) in that battery platform.
With this fire I will wait for another 5 years to see if this does not happen again, imagine you leave the tools in site at night and in the morning, you find only ash :))
