Which cordless trimmer has best battery life?

[LoneRanger]

Most of the cordless trimmers seem to be "disposables" with built in battery, breaks or are [censored] after two yrs usage. Don't want that.

Want a medium duty and battery that lasts at least 30 minutes. Ideally, battery is replaceable. Prefer to spend under $100. Sub division house, 1/3 acre lot.

I bought a worx brand trimmer a few years ago. Its held up well. Came with 2 batteries and a leaf blower.

It was under 100 dollars when I bought it and The batteries do swaps between most me there tools

If you're looking for tools on a replaceable battery on a budget it would seem that you would have to choose based on what ecosystem of tools you're going to pick.
Like what cordless drill are you going to get? Do you see yourself buying more tools.
Otherwise doen the line getting the 2nd or 3rd battery is going to blow your budget if you're also buying different batteries for your other tools

I own a Ryobi and love it. Battery lasts for an hour of trimming. I timed it. I also have the blower and couldn't be happier with them. I have a Ryobi drill motor also and can use the same battery on them all.

The Worx batteries take forever to charge.Maybe one day Milwaukee will offer something in the M12/M18 range...

Exactly the info I'm looking for, thanks!! Looking at their $69 one sold by Home Depot w/ Li-ion battery. I'm also looking to get a cordless drill down the line, my trusty corded black and decker is getting long in the tooth.... like 25 yrs long. Still works good but just time to finally start going cordless.
