I find that I am already exhausted by the time I start my gas chainsaw or trimmer. You have no idea how nice it is to grab my tool and just start working. No worries about old gasoline either. If I found that my battery wore out before I did I would just buy another battery and it would charge before the other ran down but that is not the case with my garden tools. The combination of lithium batteries and brushless motors make 2 strokes obsolete sorry.
This might be fine in the "burbs" but I can guarantee you that even in light-duty commercial applications you'll want gas-powered equipment. On our farm, battery-powered stuff has its place for certain situations and gas power for other certain situations. Our battery impact drivers are nice because they are more portable than the air drivers but we also have much bigger & more powerful air impacts for bigger jobs. When it comes to weed-eaters & chainsaws, the battery-operated ones are junk. We tried out a high-end Milwaukee chainsaw and it just didn't compare to our gas-powered Stihl. It was okay for limbs up to 2 or 3 inches but it really struggles with anything beyond that, plus it got slower and slower as the battery lost charge, pretty much unusable once you hit 50%. And weed-eaters are another no-brainer. When I clean up pivot sites I'm usually cutting through weed patches that range from 4 to 7 feet tall. Even going through 2-foot prairie grass is a struggle for the electrics, not to mention I don't want to carry 20 batteries with me to get through a day.
Battery-powered is handy for a short burst or lightweight long-term use like impact wrenches, drills, residential grass trimming, reciprocating saws, and circular saws. When you want to clean up a tree line for 6 hours or slice through cockleburs weeds, gas is the way to go.
As for the comment made earlier about service life, it's all about maintenance. Our 20-year Stihl chainsaw still runs like a champ but my Black & Decker cordless weed-eater has been replaced twice in 8 years due to electric motor failure. No one will fix my weed eater so I do the environmentally friendly thing and throw it away to go buy another one. Our Stihl dealer has no problem working on that chainsaw though.
