That is why I stated technically.

Back with the discussion about DeWalt, you may have noticed I used ''20V/60V'' to reference their platform. They are really just 18V/56V packages. Dewalt USA noted that on first ''pull'' the batteries would discharge the higher voltage... but they can not sustain that output.

They use it as a marketing tool. So technically 60V would be more powerful than a 56V. Usually being overkill for what is necessary. So you may notice that the mower will ''power up'' and power down''. It has a torque sensor in it that determine the need for higher and lower output.

Just like the gasoline powered mowers... it usually isn't the motors that wear out. The motors in the electric were changed to brushless to extend battery life. The torque sensor does the same thing.
