They typically last between 30 and 60 minutes of continuous use, and the batteries will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to charge up (depending on if you have a fast charger or not).
Are battery trimmers as powerful as gas?
Gas or battery-powered weed eaters would work better for large jobs. Electric powered string trimmers work the same as a gas or cordless trimmer in that there is an accelerator that makes the cutting head spin. But this type of weed eater does have less power, 1200 watts max.
It will last you around 30 minutes, depending on the use you put it through. You can always purchase a second battery to keep fully charged to switch out, and they can be fully recharged in about 60 minutes.
How long does a cordless strimmer last?
If you're planning to replace a gas-powered trimmer, I'd say you should be aware of the battery life of these things. They typically last between 30 and 60 minutes of continuous use, and the batteries will take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to charge up (depending on if you have a fast charger or not).
Are battery trimmers any good?
Battery-powered trimmers are good for a yard up to about a 1/2 acre, and they can tackle much larger yards if you have multiple batteries that you can charge and swap in. Gasoline string trimmers work for a yard of any size.
