      Really the main info I'd like to know is, on a full charge would the backpack battery last all day switching between tools etc? On say a medium size battery system? Also how is working with the backpack on? Does the lead get in the way at all? Any real fatigue? I'm guessing it makes the tool your working with that much lighter? Many thanks

        The length of time really depends what kind of jobs your doing but if I'm doing a variety of tasks in a garden my back packs last 1 to 3 days on a charge but if you were strimming or blowing non stop then they could run out in less than a day. The Pellenc is a bit lighter but the stihl has a more comfortable harness. The hedge cutter and blower are much lighter but it makes less difference with a strimmer. I get much less fatigue using the back pack vs petrol tools and much more pleasant due to noise and fumes.

        When I first started using the cable with the hedge cutter I nicked it but since then I worked out how to loop the cable through the belt and take up any slack so it's behind you and since then I've not cut it in 2 years.

        The Pellenc has been faultless over two years and I've had some issues with the Sthil hedge cutters.

            No probs happy to answer any questions on this kit as it was a bit of a leap of faith when I got the stuff but so glad I did.
