Hadn't planned to buy battery as well as strimmer but the price was good and a spare is always handy.

This new battery lasts about 15 minutes at most, very disappointing. Will have to buy another battery as it simply does not do the job.

I've used Makita for a long time now and needed a smaller battery than my 5Ah ones. So I went for this one at a brilliant price.
