Cordless lawn tools

...48V batteries were just packed full of AA size ones!!

Small cylindrical battery cells is industry standard. Take apart a battery pack from an Acer laptop, a Dell laptop, E-bike, almost any electric car, or any of the battery power tools.

Some companies are starting to make rectangular cells (DeWalt now has the "power stack" variant) and one of the big car companies is starting to play with this but this is not yet standard.

I have one battery down in 6 years. But when they go down, I won't be wishing I could still go down to the station for a gallon of gas. Yes, batteries are high. But as others noted, they can be fixed more cheaply than purchased new...but that holds true for most things, right? I don't miss the oil and gas, gas cans, replacing fuel and air filters, smell, yanking a pull cord, the noise, winterizing, etc. etc. And the same better I have for the mower also run=s my leaf blower (also used for snow), and trimmer. The trimmer allows all the trimmer plus attachments. So that means those same batteries also run my hedge trimmer, pole saw, edger, and another blower. The ship has sailed for gas hardware for me. And I don't know if you can still get the 80V batteries. However, a couple of years ago they were $180 for the Kobalt. You can get off-brand batteries to fit on Amazon for about $90.
