I generally go out to the recycle centre twice a week and I have been noticing a growing number of battery powered stuff amongst all the rovers and victas. I was just given a Kobalt 80v trimmer and by sheer luck got it going again. I was going to come here to ask for help and It got me wondering if we need a section here for these things. Mind you, I am still very skeptical that they are at the stage where they have enough grunt to do a normal yard let alone an overgrown one but there's no denying they are becoming popular. I know most of the guys here are dedicated internal combustion buffs and probably can't stand this trend either.
Are they even worth trying to repair?
If they are, do we need a new section for them?
Are they just throw-away things or can we get new knowledge and skills repairing them?
I would like to hear your thoughts.
