I would welcome any advise on batt operated weed trimmers. Best
brands? Those to steer clear of etc. What features to look for etc.
Would be used on a small yard,only used 15-20 min every week or so.
Also,is it recommended that they be left on charge all the time they
are not being used? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!!Thanx!!

I had a battery powered Ryobi weed trimmer a few years ago. It worked very
well. It could handle a lot more than 15-20 minutes and had plenty of
power. It came with a wall-mountable storage rack that had a charger in it,
and the trimmer stayed on the charger all the time. I would definitely buy
another one. It was less hassle, noise and smell than a gas trimmer and had
no power cord to drag all over the lawn.
