I have Ego stuff with a 5ah pack and a 2.5ah pack (might be the smallest pack they have). I have just under an acre with 400ft of fence line, about 300ft to trim around the house, 4 big oaks to trim around and then a few hundred more feet of misc to trim. Then I walk around the block and trim another property that's 1/3rd acre with 200ft of fence line, 200ft to trim around the house, 3 more big oaks to trim around, a shed plus maybe 100ft of misc more to trim.
I do all that on a single charge of the smallest 2.5ah pack, and I have never run it dead. The battery meter indicates between 20-40% charge left when I'm finished.
I use my bigger pack for the edger and blower. If you'd like I could figure up how many feet of edging and square feet of blowing I do between these two properties on one charge of the 5ah.

I spent $30 to get two off brand batteries for my ryobi WE and I can cover my whole acre spread. Also works with any other Ryobi stuff. Agreed one battery doesn’t cut it but I’ve replaced mowers between my Ryobi’s lifecycle.

I weed eat 1 acre fenced on 3 sides and about 75 yards of drive way. 40 volt Greenworks trimmer. With the 5 AH battery can do it twice on one charge. Has tons more torque at low rpm than the Echo I got rid of. Electric motor torque characteristics or Ideal for lawn tools. Next on my list electric zero turn. My neighbor does 2 acres on a charge.

A lot of professional lawn businesses have switched to batter powered string trimmers. They have come a long way in recent years. No fuel or engine maintenance to mess with. Batteries are smaller and lighter than engines + gas tanks. They will cut through anything gas powered ones will. When you start weighing the pros and cons it’s no contest.
