Today, very many owners of household plots use trimmers to ennoble them. In comparison with the lawnmower, the trimmer has greater maneuverability. It is much more convenient for them to cut a lawn near a fence or in hard-to-reach corners of a garden plot.
Trimmers are different, and the main difference is in the type of food. The topic of our article is a battery trimmer. Let's look at what it is better than gasoline, and what are the features of his work.
Features of electric cordless trim tabs
Undoubtedly, battery trimmers have significant advantages in comparison with electric and gasoline:
- autonomy and lack of wires;
- independence from the availability and quality of fuel;
- low noise level;
- The presence of a telescopic bar, allowing you to adjust the trimmer for any growth;
- less weight - this tool can work for women and adolescents.
Among the drawbacks of battery trimmers, it should be noted:
- small power (mow only grass and not too thick weeds);
- a small number of similar models in the line of manufacturers of trimmers;
- significant time costs for recharging.
In addition, the battery trimmer is designed for only 30-40 minutes of continuous operation, and this despite the fact that the process of charging the battery takes about a day. So, he is unlikely to cope with a large area and densely overgrown area. This technique is ideal as an addition to a bulky lawn mower, or for use on small lawns overgrown with soft grass.
How to choose a battery trimmer?
Many models of trimmers, powered by a battery, have a lower engine layout. Due to this, the design is more balanced and less vibration. However, such a trimmer can not mow the wet grass. Models with the top location can be used in any weather, but less ergonomic.
Also, the vast majority of battery models have a D-shaped handle. It allows you to hold the instrument with both hands, while not reducing its mobility.
As already mentioned, there are not so many battery trimmers. Consider the most popular of them:
- The Bosch ART 26-18 LI cordless trimmer is positioned as a light mini grass trimmer with an innovative knife system for precise lawn mowing. Indeed, this tool has a weight of only 2.5 kg and a knife with a diameter of a cutting circle of 26 cm. The tool is equipped with a button to switch the trimmer to the cutting, finishing or edge processing modes. Interestingly, the battery of this trimmer is also suitable for other garden tools using Bosch's lithium-ion technology (Power4All).
- The Stihl FSA battery trimmer is quiet and environmentally friendly. The weight of such devices varies from 2.7 to 3.2 kg, and Stihl cordless trim tabs have a convenient Auto-Cut C 4-2 mower head. A very convenient feature is the automatic adjustment of strings, which is possible without opening the case.
- The battery trimmer model from this manufacturer is only one - it's Gardena AccuCut 400Li. Nevertheless, it is very popular, mainly due to its great power compared to the trimmers of other manufacturers. Also Gardena has a higher speed of mowing - for this, the design provides two lines, and the speed of rotation reaches 8000 rpm. Sometimes this model is even called a "turbotrimmer". It is more resistant to the hardness of grass, so it is suitable for mowing grass and weeds from fences, stairs, trees. But, of course, neither this, nor any other kind of battery trimmer will not be able to cut the shrub plants.
