"you're welcome.... forgot to take any AP200 with me today so was using an AP500S with the HLA135 which was heavier but not unmanageable...conversely might get away with using an AP100, which has fewer cells so would be under more strain to provide…"

"I tend to use AP200 in my HLA135 as for that specific machine it's the best weight to balance the blade end to the battery/motor end. Usually run it on level 3, the fastest blade speed range. Seem to get about half an hour out of it but maybe a…"
"Not sure on the ap 200. Think it was around an hr and half with the ap 300s. Depending on how hard the cutting is. I mostly use my hla55 which gives 2.5hrs trigger time with ap 200. I have two ap 200 and two ap 300s. "

"But for the extra cost, how much better actually is it, and if battery drain is the same or worse.... hard pass"
"For comparison the HLA 135 which is basically the same motor with hedge trimmer attachment, the run time is up to 39 mins with an AP 200. Which doesn't seem to bad, would you say that was fair?I don't mind buying another AP battery, possibly a 300s…"

"I've had the kma 135r for 3 years. It's good for light strimming and works perfectly well for tackling thicker hedges. I mostly use ap 300s batteries. Big power drain when strimming. Comparing it to my over 10yr old km130r, the kma 135r is…"
