FAQs

How long does a 20 volt battery last in a hedge trimmer? ›

【20V Hedge Trimmer】High-efficiency brushless motor,up to 60 minutes of run-time with fully charged 2.0Ah battery. And it can be quick charged about 1 hour.

Corded hedge trimmers offer an average of 600 watts (W) and will work perfectly well for hedges growing fairly close to the home. These lightweight trimmers are also perfect for anyone who doesn't want to cart around a heavy tool.

QHow long does the battery last? A: The battery will last up to 40 minutes or enough time to trim up to 80m² of hedges. This does depend on what is being cut and how the tool is being used. A: To fully charge the battery it takes 210 minutes, or to charge it up to 80%, it takes 145 minutes.

It depends on what you're looking for. Electric trimmers are cheap and easy to use but are constrained by their length of cord. Cordless models give greater freedom but only last as long as the battery charge. Petrol hedge trimmers are the most powerful, but are noisy and need regular maintenance.

What is the expected run time of a fully charged battery on the 20 Volt Lithium powered String Trimmer? The run time of the trimmer is 10-15 minutes per battery on a fully charged battery.

What is different between them: - Weight: 20v is amazingly light (especially when using a 2Ah battery). With 2x 4Ah nitro batteries the 40v is significantly heavier. The blowers themselves are same weight, it's all in the batteries.

When choosing between 20V and 40V hedge trimmers, consider yard size, hedge thickness, runtime, weight, maneuverability, and budget. 20V suits small to medium yards, with shorter battery life but lighter weight. 40V is ideal for larger yards, with longer runtime and more power, but heavier.

For best operation and longer blade life, lubricate the hedge trimmer blade with a lightweight machine oil before and after each use. Do not lubricate while the hedge trimmer is still connected with the battery or running. Some models require harder-working lubricant.

You should not cut or trim hedges or trees between the dates of March 1st and September 1st without a derogation. You may only apply for a derogation if you plan to cut hedges before any new grass ley or oil seed rape is sown in the Autumn.

Can hedge trimmer blades be sharpened? Hedge trimmer blades can be sharpened by hand, and it is recommended that you do so regularly: the job needs a flat file, a whetstone and a little careful attention. Alternatively, your STIHL dealer can sharpen the blades perfectly for you.

What is the best length for a hedge trimmer? ›

16-inch or smaller blades are ideal for small and average-sized hedges. 18-inch blades are ideal for average and larger-sized hedges. 20-inch and larger blades are the best hedge trimmers for thick branches and ideal for large, established hedges.

Thanks to the powerful lithium-ion battery, cordless hedge trimmers are also suitable for demanding cutting work and hedges with thicker branches. However, very thick branches or resistant hedges are best cut with petrol hedge trimmers or electric hedge trimmers, even if you're not a professional.

Generally, if you just have a few shrubs or an average hedge to trim, a tool with a 20-volt battery is more than sufficient to get the job done. According to James, one of the most important considerations in a cordless hedge trimmer is the battery run time, which is the length of time the tool can run on one charge.

Hedge trimmers are powered by electricity, and due to their twin-action blades, they move in a back-and-forth motion, ideal for precision trimming on smaller branches. On the other hand, hedge cutters use a power source that provides more force necessary while dealing with larger branches.

Base your purchasing decision on how much portability, cutting capacity and power type you need. Electric models are lighter, quieter and vibrate less than gas units. An electric motor drives the blades, so there's no need to mix fuel or refill. Smaller yards are especially good candidates for electric trimmers.

Run time with the included 5.0 Ah battery is about 20 minutes (even less if temperatures are in the low 40's), which is surprising given the blower has a brushless motor.

According to Battery University, the everyday lithium ion battery should last between 300 and 500 charge/discharge cycles. If you charge a cellphone once a day, for example, the battery would last for more than a year in ideal conditions.

The LBXR20 20-volt MAX lithium-ion battery is always ready to go thanks to its ability to hold charges up to 500 days. The BLACK+DECKER 20-volt MAX lithium-ion battery offers a longer lifespan and retains its charge 5x longer than similar 18-volt NiCad batteries.

A 20V hedge trimmer is suitable for small to medium yards, with a lighter weight and a shorter battery life. A 40V hedge trimmer is ideal for larger yards, providing a longer runtime, more power, but it is heavier.
