I've got a lot of defunct electric batteries--Makita sticks, Hitachi packs, etc.

As far as overall longevity of the battery over the years I cannot speak to it, as it hasn't been long. As for as usage, I ran the trimmer for 90+ minutes on one battery and did not run out. Very impressed with that. After picking up 2 of my weedwackers and neither would start I got pissed and bought electric. I plan on grabbing the hand blower at some point as well.
