How long does the charge last for average trimming power? Has anyone used this on an acreage property?

I would say not long enough to do acreage. I do the garage, house and sidewalks on an average single lot home and I am out juice.

I have almost an acre and it takes me about 45 minutes to trim. So far I've never run out of charge. I usually take a short break between the front and back yards.

even on lowest setting(1) the battery lasted about 20minutes for me. I am just using it to trim.

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.

He charge lasts about 20 minutes, less if you crank the power all the way up. We bought extra lithium batteries so that we could charge one while another was being used. To work continuously, you really need about three batteries.

It obviously depends on the terrain but you would be well advised to get two batteries which will give you a good hour or two of use

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.

It takes about an hour to charge and I can weed wack my entire property. I would say it lasts a few hours if not more

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.

Mine is working extremely well. I've never timed it, but I have a 1/2 acre and a lot of leaves. I can clean up all my leaves and not run out of time. The next time I'll get half way through and let it die and then charge it. I haven't watched how long it takes to charge either, I tend to put it in the charger and leave it all night. You can find that information on the Battery Purchasing site, I think it said 4 hours.

Depends on how heavy the gress is you are trimming. But normal trimming around flower and garden beds etc., about half an hour at full power and then it tapers off. I bought extra battery and we can get most pf the trimming down with the two, and the batteries recharge quickly.

No, I've used the trimmer for a few months. I find it powerful enough, but it is a bit heavy. The battery life is approxiamately 1/2 hour, at the #3 setting

I do not know exactly how many hours that it last but I have a 3/4 acre yard and I can do all my trimming and edging with one battery fully charged.

I'm not sure what others are using this trimmer for. It is designed to trim the areas of your "lawn" that your mower can not reach. I get 30 minutes run-time from one battery. It is not a brush-hog. Buy a gas trimmer for that. It is a great "lawn" trimmer. By the way, my yard is 60' x 168'.

Well, I used it in our relatively short growing season in Northern Michigan, and just about to break it out again. I will say that last Fall, after I no longer needed it the battery stopped charging, but they are sending me a replacement since I called in the problem last week.That said, it performs great. Battery lasts maybe a half-hour at full speed, but that's all I need.

The charge seems to last for about 1-2 hours of use...which is all the time you'd want to use it. So it is fine! Very good purchase, saving a lot on tree work!

3-4hrs..and runs blower..5 min...weedeater.. 15-20min...headpruner..10-15min. but none work well after about 5min...slow down. Only Plus, quiet, quick and easy to use, and would probably be ok for small yard/landscaping project that is already well manicured, and you want just a quick easy clean up. my recommendation..DONT GET IT! Try the newer Litium versions, there supposed to last up to 10X longer, but I haven't tried them..I use tried and true GAS tools...Fast, powerful....but loud and sometimes a pain to start.. GOOD LUCK LINDA hope this helped

I have about a quarter acre and I use about two spools per season. Not sure of the time that it's being used for but it lasts a while.

I charge mine overnight because its what they call a trickle battery charger so it charges overnight without any problems and how long it lasts depends on what your weedeating. If your using it for thick grass and brush it will last about 10-15 mins max. I already had additonal batteries i keep charged up so i just put another in and keep going

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.

I have used our mower for four years now. The battery has not lost any charge as far as I can tell. I mow about 1/4 acre of grass about once per week from mid April to mid September or so. This mower has been great for me. Quiet, reliable and no fuss what so ever.

I would not recommend this trimmer. My first was delivered and would not assemble and I am now waiting for the manufacturer to sent me a replacement for the second because it stopped recharging. If I had to do it again I'd spend a little more for a better trimmer.

It runs 30-40 minutes on a full charge for me. I'm usually tired by that time anyway. Its short handle tends to tire my back and arms rather quickly. Other than that, I think it is an excellent trimmer and a bargain at its price.
