Yesterday was my first real use of these tools. I started with both batteries fully-charged and then edged & trimmed the front and back. All good there. Having no cord was exponentially better than I thought. I'm usually concerned about dragging it over flowers, getting it caught on a planter or having it wrap around a tree, etc. I got to a couple spots where the cord is ordinarily a problem and thought to myself, "Oh yeah... no cord. COOL!". Then I cut the front with my gas mower and used the leaf blower to clean up. Good. Then I put that battery back on the charger just because. Then I cut the back. Then I got that same battery and put it back on the blower and I went for about 5 minutes and it stopped so I switched batteries. That's pretty manageable as long as the batteries keep their lifespan. If they don't then I'll look at bigger/better batteries.

How many more mowing sessions are left in the year? Not many. I usually do my very last cut right around Thanksgiving if I have a 45-50° and sunny day. By that time most of the leaves have fallen and it's a chance to get the yard clean before winter, possibly cut it a bit shorter than usual and also put down some winter fertilizer. But between now and then there probably won't be many cuttings. Should I move the batteries indoors over the winter and let them de-charge and then charge them back up in the spring?
