Key Takeaways
Battery issues, particularly with 8 amp-hour Milwaukee batteries, can be resolved through warranty replacement, which is often more straightforward than gas equipment warranties.
Hedge trimmer performance heavily depends on whether it's single-action (one moving blade) or double-action (two moving blades), not necessarily if it's gas or battery powered.
New battery technologies like Milwaukee Forge offer significantly improved thermal management and charge cycles, making battery equipment more reliable for professional use.
Affordable mobile charging solutions, such as a deep cycle battery with a pure sine inverter, can enable on-the-go charging for less than $400, eliminating reliance on fixed power sources.
The cost of charging large professional battery tools (e.g., a 12 amp-hour Milwaukee battery) is negligible (around 4.5 cents for a full charge), making on-site charging at customer locations feasible with proper communication.
Battery equipment, despite potential issues, offers benefits like reduced noise and environmental impact, which can be selling points to customers.
Heavy-duty commercial battery tools, like Milwaukee's new commercial trimmer, can provide comparable or superior power to gas counterparts, often with similar run times, although they might be slightly heavier.
