Mine lasts about 30 minutes or so, and does a very good job on a leafy property.

Get a second battery (a 3rd party one from Amazon. They are much cheaper than B&D's batteries and have done well.)

With a spare battery, you will always have juice. I have a corded one also, but that cord is a REAL pain. I only use it when I have heavy duty jobs.
