I've slowly switched to battery powered yard tools, everything except my rider/ tractor because of the size of my yard. One main reason is I'm sick and tired of rebuilding 2 cycle carburetors (THE main reason your weed wackers and chainsaws and whatever fail to start). Cant start it? 90% chance its the carburetors (and cheap or improper oil ratios). The nature of 2 cycle fuel just naturally gums these things up. Trust me, I've rebuilt them on the side for cash or re-sale for 30 years. I've had people just give me 300 dollar chainsaws that gave them fits that I fixed with 20 dollar rebuild kits and a good cleaning and then sold.
I meander, I'm just sick of doing it for my stuff. I have one 40V battery for a chainsaw and weed wacker that has a tree trimming attachment for the same price as good quality gas ones. I dont trim a lot but I can run the weed wacker for 45min to an hour min on a charge. Hang it up, recharge the day before I need it again. Nothing environmental about it. I'm more environmental with my property (around 3 acres). I have 35 trees that get pruned very seldom but for health reasons. About 2/3rds of an acre is actual grass, or whatever seeds blow into it. It's a native rye that when left on its own and with regular cutting around 4-6 inches does a good job of dominating invasive species without chemicals. The sky waters it. I have native wild flowers haphazardly growing around and I plant the equivalent of about an 1/8th of an acre of veggies, everywhere. No rhyme or reason on locations. Get a bare spot in the grass, plop goes in some tomatoes. Plant a lot around my house as I have french drains and no gutters all the way around, self watering. Once again I try to let nature have my property as much as possible.
I know not everyone can do what I do but really you can do a lot even in small spaces if you just do you and quit listening to the so called "pros". They're just trying to sell you something. Green thumb not required, just let nature back in instead of trying to force it out. Put Big Box stores out of business and a local garden center will open up with everything you need, they need and your community needs. Rant off lol.
But yeah, no overnight charging of lithium....ever for the reason you stated above.
Does my property look great? Yeah to me and the critters but thats all that matters isn't it
