re: Battery Powered Weed Eater

If you have the trimmer and blower running full throttle the batteries will not last long. I throttle down and up on my trimmer as needed to get the job done and the battery easily handles the full yard on our corner lot with sidewalks.

On the blower, the lower setting works fine for most of my work and I only use the higher setting as needed. The high setting is super powerful and more than needed for blowing light debris and grass clippings. The high setting would blow the mulch out of the beds if used there.

I like my DeWalt 60volt trimmer. It came with a flex-volt battery and I can use it in my other DeWalt Tools. It was the main reason I went that route.

I would say look at your current power tool setup and see if they offer a trimmer that is compatible with the batteries that you already use. It's cheaper in the long run and you don't have to worry about having so many different chargers, batteries, etc.
