I guess these brushed motors are good since theres no need for a controller... If only there was some kind of circuitry that would limit the current spike on start up... how bout a to stage switch on start up, where the first stage has a big resistor in line, allowing the motor to get spinning, and then you switch it to the second position "on" which is go! (no resistor)
This unit is assembled in the USA according to the labels, no doubt many of the parts are from Asia.
Probably no real need to limit start up current as long as you get the motor spinning before you attack the grass. The battery internal resistance, brush resistance and wiring resistance as well as the 40 amp fuse and circuit breaker adds a few tens of milliohms to limit the start current some.
