For 2020 we are recommending starting the new decade with a greener
approach to gardening. Battery power has advanced over the last few years and almost
all the top garden machinery manufacturers have released their own cordless
ranges. The new lithium batteries contain high-quality cells, offer longer
runtimes and will comfortably match the power of a small petrol engine. Newer cordless
products are fitted with efficient brushless motors for reliability and added
reassurance of a long product life. Cordless machines incorporate the
practicalities of both electric and petrol machines, offering the capabilities
of working cable-free around the garden and offsite but also producing enough
torque to tackle the more demanding outdoor tasks. Most importantly, battery
power has positive health and environmental benefits which include:
- Reduced noise – keeps the neighbours happy and it allows you to work without the worry of hearing loss
- Zero-emissions – no pollution is not only good for the planet, it’s good for everyone’s lungs too
- Minimal running and maintenance costs – batteries are recharged using electricity, not at the petrol pumps and the lack of engine means no more messy filter changes and fuel spills
- Low vibration – reducing the risk of HAVS (hand, arm vibration syndrome), making working for longer periods less strain on the user
