I did buy a second battery so I always have one in the charger. I have a commercial property that I use it at so sometimes the first battery runs out.

There are a couple of them on sale now at Lowe's. I have had mine for about 10 years so that model is no longer available.

I purchased a Black and Decker weed whacker and hedge trimmer combo special that came with (4) 18V batteries and 2 chargers six seasons ago. One of the 4 batteries doesn’t hold a great charge any longer but the other 3 are holding up well. I’ve used the pair of battery operated tools mostly to maintain about 1/2 acre of property during that time. I switched to battery power as a bit of an experiment having been a 2 cycle user for a long time and it’s worked well in my case. I’ll look for my next set of battery operated tools on sale as well.
