Can you use an extention cord after the charge has gone out of the battery?

No. I have other tools that use the same battery so I just swap to a charged battery.

No, it's battery only. By the way, I used mine yesterday to trim dead Osage orange limbs--about the hardest wood there is--and it worked great!

I use it with an extension cord all the time. But when I am not using the charger, I turn off the power to it by either disconnecting the extension cord from the AC power strip or by turning off the switch on my power strip mounted on my garage wall.

Yes, I did use an outdoor extension cord with it. However, I also bought a water tight cord lock cover to protect the connection. See link below:Farm Innovators Model CC-2 Cord Connect Water-Tight Cord Lock - Green

I am not sure about that - but the cord for this item is extremely short. I was very disappointed in how short it was. You will need an extention cord for sure.

I have used an extension cord. In fact just plugged in the other day, because it got cold.

To charge, I would use th chord provided. To use the battery, you can use any USB chord.

No, but you might call customer service and they will let you know if there is a USB extension cord you can puchase

If you are using rechargeable batteries, yes it can be used while the batteries charge. If you are using it while it is plugged in, make sure you remove the batteries, unless they are rechargeable.

You can plug the cord directly into the trimmer. Also, if it's out of charge, it will work while plugged in, which is helpful.

Extension cord . . . . is there an alternative? I suppose you could get a generator out there.....

No, I just charge it after I use it and let it sit until I use it again. Seems to work for me.

no, use the cord from your original charger. If you don't have a cord you must purchase one!

Yes, you just plug it into an outlet to recharge it. But you cannot charge something while you are recharging.

No, you have to plug it in the charge it, but then you unplug it when you use it.

I'm sure a battery charged unit will be easy to handle, but there might also be an added expense. This unit was very easy to handle with extention cord and was inexpensive. Performs very well. I have many cordless tools and they are great until they have to be recharged. With a corded unit you don't have to worry about loss of power in the middle of a job.

Yes, you can. I used it to recharge to my car battery. It will automatically shutoff when your battery is full, and turn itself back on if the charge in the battery drops.

Yes Christopher, you can do that, actually, I never pull the cord all the way out, only like 2 or 3 feet, sometimes longer, you know. It is a very nice extension cord, I just love it!
