Battery Power for Lawn equipment -- is it time?

I keep amassing corded power tools while they're around. Peope have short memories: spending a grand for a battery powered weed eater, or $1500 for a similar lawn mower, ugh.

KInd of like the Cuban phenomena, keeping old 1950's cars rolling.

 

ours was $79.haven't spent anything since. batteries last a looooooooong time.

 

Moved

 

Has the looney collapsed? My battery electric weed eater is USD$110 on Amazon today, wasn't much more when I bought it.

I just added a brushcutter attachment to it for another $80.

 

are we in the right thread?

 

Wow, how'd that happen

 

Gary, go check your pill organizer. Today is Sunday. See if you missed one?

 

Today I set up the pole saw attachment on my Greenworks split-shaft driver.

I took limbs from 17 different trees in my yard, using a 4Ah battery we got secondhand in 2017. It started at 3/4 charge and I quit before it did.

So it very much depends on the task, but for limbing and pruning I'm going to declare that the thread title question goes true here: Yes, battery power is good enough for limbing and pruning on the scale of a 1.3 acre suburban lot.

 

Yea -the better ½ is on me more than usual. That's another clue
