Unfortunately it doesn't look like they tell you which battery you get with most of them. The 2.5Ah battery comes in two flavors: BA1400 and BA1400T. The "T" gives you a 5 bar fuel gauge, and the other relies on a different color LED - not great if you're color blind.

I have to buy a hedge trimmer, but wondering whether to buy the one without a battery or with a battery. I already have a 7.5Ah and two 2.5Ah batteries (one came with the string trimmer and one with a new leaf blower). The trimmer and the blower don't really run out. I really need the the extra batteries for the mower. I have a large front and back yard (0.5 acre plot). The problem is that the 2.5Ah batteries hardly last on the lawn mower. You would think that they should last 1/3rd the time as the 7.5Ah, but they don't. Not by a long shot. And if god forbid the grass is a bit tall or a bit wet, they overheat too easily, and I hardly get to use them for two back and forth passes. Practically I just have to wait till the 7.5Ah battery charges again. The 2.5Ah batteries are well suited for the handheld machines, but they don't really work well with the mower. So I'm wondering getting the extra battery with the hedge trimmer is going to be a waste of the $35 price difference (between the battery-less one and the one with a battery). If I get one, theoretically I'll have and extra 7.5Ah's for the mower (via three 2.5Ah batteries), but practically I know all three put together won't last as much as the single 7.5Ah battery. Maybe half that.
I've been waiting for a deal on the pole saw for over a year without any luck. Seems like the attachments don't have many good deals since eGO and HD broke up and the supply chain has tightened.

It completely changed the paper shredding industry.
LM2102SP [acmetools.com] with a 7.5Ah 56v battery for $359 after coupon code.
Seems like a good deal. My lawn is pretty small at about 5000 sq ft so one battery so one charge should be enough. I do prefer to mulch rather than bag though.
Are there any other brands/models that's better value?
