Do you expect batteries to last a lifetime now? 2-4 years is all you "should" expect.

All batteries degrade and die in short order. Don't care if you are talking about a cordless flashlight, car, boat or screwdriver batteries. Most have X amount of charge cycles.

All these great sales gimmick features like no tune ups, no oil to changes, no gasoline emissions and no starts and runs are all true. Or "I" am saving the environment by using battery mower gear. Ever wonder how your electricity is actually generated? Most are dirty coal or nuclear. So the environment is getting hammered before the juice gets to your house. Maybe you have a baby solar grid at your house???

For me, there are 0 lawn crews using any battery anything tools around here. They wouldn't last 3 weeks on a typical lawn crew truck. Replacement batteries are a continual, very expensive cost that goes with them. Most are 80% the cost of a new tool so people push them to the curb.

Electricity produced from coal is far far cleaner then gasoline. Small engines are horrendous polluters. In Minnesota. 25% of electricity is renewable. And going up

I enjoy throwing away the EPA sparkler screens from all my 2 stroke gear. All in effort to make them louder because the neighbors LOVE IT. LOL

The spark arrestor screen for my SR225 went in the garbage just the other day.
