How long would the battery run on one charge? The reason I am asking this because I have almost one hour of trimming around the property. Thanks.

I would say easily should accommodate. I was able to use it 3 days probably a minimum of 30 min each time before running out if power and then it seemed to charge quickly

I'm getting about an hour at lowest speed (which is plants for most trimming). The first charge it ran out in about half hour, then got better kinda like a break in for the first two charges or so.

I do not think it would be a stretch for this trimmer's battery to run for an hour. I love this trimmer - auto line trim feature is awesome. I had a Stihl gas powered that was just too heavy and the line keep breaking and getting tangled. So happy I made this purchase!

In my experience with this trimmer I would not see a problem with one hour of continous use. I dont have that situation but I have trimmef my yard 6 to 7 times, 10 minutes each time, and it still doesnt need charging.

Have not had it long enough to give u a perfect answer, but it would depend on what number you set the power to. If you put it on full power which I could never see myself using it might not. We set it on 2 or three to do our edges and I believe u would definitely get an hour or more out of a single charge. Its kind of tough to say because we never take a full hour to do our edges. Hope this helps.

My yard is about 1500 sq ft and it only takes about 20m to trim. When done I have about 5/8 of the battery.

It will depend on the setting that you leave the trimmer on while running it. There is a dial that allows you to adjust the RPM's based on need. I think you would easily be able to get an hour worth of trimming out of it at it's lowest setting. If you had it on 10 (max) you might get 40 minutes of actual trimming time out of it. I have found that the low setting works just fine for trimming grass and small weeds, if I have a thick patch I just bump it up for the need then dial it back down. You should be fine with this trimmer.

Seems like the Toro 48v trimmer will run for about 45-55 minutes but I haven't really timed it because I stop a while to move things or walk from one trimming area to another. The trimmer's great ease of use more than compensates for the short time though. It is half the weight of the gas powered Stihl and cuts everything a gas powered trimmer does. The Toro has a variable speed which makes it unusual in the battery powered market. We like that because we don't use any more power than we need for a particular job. I have reloaded the spool without any trouble and the auto length works well.

I've been getting about 15 or 20 minutes run time on mine. I just use it for blowing off our patio at our apartment and takes about 4 or 5 min. So I'm only charging it once every 2 or 3 weeks. I think it does an awesome job. Clay Messer, Dawsonville,Ga

I don't know. I have never run the battery all the way down. I have always run down first. It takes hours to recharge fully, though, even if you only use it to trim a bush or two.

almost too long! i think my first one went to heck cuz i never charged it, but i only use it to shine my back yard occasionally for animals and maybe to walk around the property, haven't used it for long periods but it lasts one heck of a long time on one charge just sitting on my counter for the occasional use on my property.

That's a good deal. You could go ahead and buy a spare battery from Amazon and for ~$131 you'd have a nice trimmer setup. We have a small in-town yard and I have yet to run through both batteries but I always go through one, so having the spare is essential. I also have to agree to some extent with Anthony Deyal, in that if you're using the trimmer for heavy use, the battery drains real fast. It's got plenty of torque with the gear drive (I use it to trim hedges occasionally), but using that kind of power sucks the battery dry. It really needs a li-ion pack.

But it's not good to run the batteries all the way down. Also, how long the batteries last depends upon how short you are cutting the grass. I have gotten as little as 30 minutes on a battery cutting long grass.

I don't know the wattage, but the battery that comes with this is the smaller one. It gives me about 15 to 20 minutes of trim time. My yard is about 15000 square feet with a lot of planter areas and fences to trim along and I can get about half of it done on one charge.

I have never used it until the battery was completely depleted; however on one occasion I used it for 45 minutes with no loss in power but the battery was showing empty. I am impressed with the speed of the battery recharge; with two batteries you have almost continuous battery power.This is not a heavy duty trimmer for an acreage property; after all it is a one string trimmer. For my heavy trimming I still use a heavy duty gas trimmer. This said, for trimming around yard edges, bushes and for edging sidewalks, it is outstanding. I would definitely but it again.

Obviously until the green light comes on. The time varies depending on how drawn-down the battery is. I have a 150 by 100 foot lot to trim and edge. One charge usually lasts long enough to finish. It's best to have two batteries to swap for longer jobs. I interchange batteries between the blower, trimmer and hedge trimmer. I lika dis product.

Ive had mine for 3 seasons and now into the 4th. Same battery, always charging when not using. Flat lawn about 1/4 acre. Super happy even in wet grass thats a bit tall, you won't plow thru it but it won't be any slower than expected. No obstacles like acorns or branches to contend with either on our lawn. Charge it fully before you first use it, and aviod draining it completely, in fact if possible just use it til half a charge and your battery will last much much longer ( about 25-28 mins). Go get one!

You get about 30-40 minutes of continuous use on a single charge. Rather than measure acreage think in terms of the time it takes to trim your property. You can have 10 acres of land but just 100 feet of trimming or you can have an 1/8 of an acre that is all trimming. If you can trim your property in 30 minutes then it could work for you.

The battery charge lasts about two hours worth of shaves and one shave takes about 5-6 minutes - so one charge lasts for about 20 shaves. Hope this helps

I haven't timed it but it holds a charge for at least 2 hours of constant trimming I use it to cut my whole front & back yard grass & trim the edges twice before recharging hope that helps :)

I agree with you about lithium batteries, but I decided to follow their directions. I find I can cut my hair three to four times before it goes dead. If it does go dead I can plug it in and its up and running corded in less than five to ten minutes. Why not charge it after every other hair cut?

Taking it out is important to me because I would like to have an extra battery charged for when the first one runs out. I don't believe I can get the whole yard done in the time one battery will last, but I don't want to wait until 10 hours later to finish. I want two batteries to charge.

I usually charge my battery overnight. I believe it took over 3 hours once when I wanted to use the trimmer during the day.

Not sure. I would guess that means the battery is not being fully recharged. That would explain the lack of battery life. You should be able to edge and trim an average size lawn without a problem.
