How long does the battery last since there is no charger.
It depends on the amperage of the battery. I have a 3 amp, and use it on my makita drill, sander and other tools. It last around 20 to 30 minutes depending on the tool. No idea about the grass shear, since I am returning it due to replacement blades cost as much as the tool and the hedge trimmer is not available. If the hedge trimmer was available, I would have kept it.
The is no battery included either. You have to purchase them separately.
This unit does not come with a battery. You must purchase a battery and charger separately. How long it lasts depends on the battery you purchase with your charger. I got the largest battery and have used mine for about 30 minutes so far and still have a good charge. I am not sure how long the remaining charge will last.
Thank you for your question. The run time of the tool will depend on the work load it is under. This tool does not come with a battery or charger and they must be purchased separately. Please see the DC18RC 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Rapid Optimum Charger or the BL1840DC1 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack (4.0Ah).
Depends, for me its working 3 weeks. I am using the tool once per week around the flowers .
