Honestly I won’t be pushing them hard like a contractor would, just typical stuff around the house.  It’s more the yard tools (lawnmower, leaf blower, etc) where I was mainly worried about the battery.

But I am interested, what are some of the ‘good brands’ you mentioned?  And where can I learn more about the control boards?

Thanks 

 Yard tools depend on size of yard. I prefer gas. I have a leaf vacuum that is better than blowing for most clean up besides patio. Collects everything and mulches it up for the compost pile. 

 Pretty small yard, maybe 1/4 acre of grass 

 Check to see how many batteries you would need to get it all done without lag time. Upfront cost. 

 Yeah should be only 1-2 batteries I think.  Even if I have to buy 1 extra battery, seems worth it… just trying to see if there are any major issues or gotchas I should be aware of with that tech vs gas.
