I just picked up an electric chain saw for some small light duty work I have to do. So far I like it, and it’s great to use it with out the loud droning noise of the two stroke versions. Also it’s a lot lighter so that’s a win.
Battery powered equipment always rocks in the beginning. But, after multiple charge/discharge cycles, the batteries rapidly begin to age.
Still have a 15 year Ego trimmer, blower and hedge trimmer Jeff. I have had to replace the carbs. New chargers actually cycle the batteries I assume.
I really think it depends on the brand, and these guys have down pretty good. This isn't the damn disposable crap. Chargers are even fan cooled..I have their mower and I love it. My yard is .35 acres and it cuts the whole thing and still has 25% charge left. Was skeptical and against it till my neighbor let me try his. 5 year warranty on mower and 3 year on battery

You can leave them plugging in Greg, but I don't.Do they have "battery tenders" for electric power equipment batteries? Seems like it'd be a good idea so as not to overcharge the hell out of them.

I love my Milwaukee M18 tools. Going on 2nd year of having a trimmer/blower combo and I couldn’t be happier vs my old gas stuff. My drill, impact, and Sawzall are beasts too.
glad to see you guys are catching up to me. I mentioned this over a year ago and of course, the usual group of...people... mobbed up and hurled their usual insults. No surprise. Anyways, you'll enjoy it and just make sure the battery is cool when you recharge it, it will last longer that way
I cannot speak for the rest of these guys, but I agree with everything you say.glad to see you guys are catching up to me.

Agree with everything except for the will never own an Electric car.I have the Milwaukee fuel string trimmer. Compared to a gas one Its like a Tesla p100D vs a 2v mustang gt. Its incredible. Still rocking a gas mower but when milwaukee comes out with a brushless mower its game over.
Will never own an electric car though
