All this talk about batteries has me questioning my choice to buy a new Stihl gas weed whacker. My $80 Weed Eater has lasted 11 years without a thing other than clean, rated treated fuel. Kinda hard to believe a battery-powered unit would last as long? Concerns are both battery longevity as well as lighter materials (to increase efficiency). I've got a lot of defunct electric batteries--Makita sticks, Hitachi packs, etc.
