I just replaced my cordless string trimmer with a gas powered Echo. Batteries were never charged when I needed it (my fault) and even though I have 2 batteries I barely made it between edging and weed eating. I also have a chainsaw which I rarely use , but a few weeks ago I put about 5 hours on it cutting down some trees and chopping them up. I was happy to not have to deal with batteries, just kept going and got the job done, plenty of gas to go around. The only electric item left is a hedge trimmer which I only use once in a while for 5-10 minutes, so it's fine. Guess it's just a matter of the right tool for your needs. The Echo I got was a PAS-225 so I'll probably just buy attachments for it going forward.
