An electric lawn mower contains a chassis and a motor attached to the chassis. The chassis contains a battery receptacle, and a DC circuit attached to the chassis. The battery receptacle contains a cavity which receives a plurality of batteries. The motor is operatively-connected to a cutting blade, so as to rotate the blade to cut the grass. The DC circuit operatively-connects the cavity with the motor, and when the batteries are received within the cavity, the batteries are operatively-connected to the DC circuit.
