female wise?
Cordless for me, thanks.
They are still terrible. And I guess if you are in the "you will own nothing and be happy" crowd then I guess that you would be OK with constantly replacing the batteries.
They are lithium batteries now. Don’t let the bad experience from Nickel hydride affect your opinion.
Cordless are great when they don't use so much power that you have to buy $150+ batteries to get decent runtime. My shortest runtime cordless is a leaf blower, can't get 15 minutes out of it but that's okay because I only need it for driveway, walk, and patio. Most of the leaves get mulched with a gas mower.
All depends on what equipment and battery size. My Dewalt 5 AH is $65. My original battery is starting year 4.
Music in general, started going downhill in the 90's. Pop country, Rap, Hip Hop,
Even the best replacement Nickel hydrides (I rebuilt my own; and they were not cheap) only worked good for a year. And by worked good it was still nowhere near as good as my corded weed whacker in terms of performance. Plus I don't have to plan ahead and have the batteries charged in advance and stuff.They are lithium batteries now. Don’t let the bad experience from Nickel hydride affect your opinion.
What brand and number of amp hours is the battery?
Nickel hydrides? Thanks for post grandpa.
Craftsman V60 (60V) 2.5Ah battery CMCB6025 cost $125-ish, or CMCB6050 5.0Ah > $200.
There might have been a short window of opportunity (that I missed) when they were on clearance for much cheaper, or it might just be invalid pricing once out of stock, that I find doing web searches as I remember these prices when in production.
I thought the V60 was a safe enough bet since these were the new CMan, SB&D designs, but apparently not, has been discontinued. At least the kit didn't cost a lot, $100 including battery & charger, and it does perform well for 10-15 minutes. I'll probably rebuild the pack when the time comes, as I never found any 3rd party Chinese makers either.
Much of the design is shared by one of the Dewalt blowers, maybe there's a way to 3D print a battery adapter for their 60V packs but I'm not sure if the BMS circuit between the two is compatible. I can probably test that, see if the blower will run on varying DC input as I think the whole BMS is in the pack.

My 30-40 year old corded Milwaukee hammer drill still rocks. I use it every 10 years or so.
sooner or later you will find batteries being worn out or just die from age.
murphy´s law- cordless is more expensive (lithium ev situation), battery will go poof when you need it most.
i´m a cord believer.
