Pretty good deal as you get the saw and charger with the battery. Not a slick deal rally but the saw sure is handy for small jobs.
Several years ago, I modified some Porter cable batteries for B&D tools and it worked just fine. These are just pricier and more substantial so it seems riskier. I don't want a battery loosely shifting around or disengaging and dropping.

BTW this is a good deal for the 4ah battery. Rarely this cheap.

The 80V string trimmer is the older model, the same as I have. It is very hard to control the speed with the trigger, it wants to go too slow or too fast. A friend has the later model, and it has an off/on power button and also a low and high speed/power setting separate from the trigger. His is much easier to control and more pleasant to use. If this were the new model, I'd buy it and sell the old one. I have a few accessories for the trimmer, and they are handy (steel blade edger, hedge trimmer, cultivator).
Costco also sells a GW 80V string trimmer, but it is not the attachment capable model. It does have the extended Costco warranty and the last I looked it was $199 with a 2Ah battery and charger. If you don't need the attachments, that's a better deal just for the 8 year warranty.

What I like to do is only put one battery in the mower at a time. Then when I run that down I pop it in the charger and put the fresh one in the mower to keep going.
To date I haven't run both all the way down. It's nice this way though because the discharged one is almost finished by the time I'm finished up.
I bet the 2ah from gw is similar to ego in that high draw items drop the voltage too much. So something like a string trimmer is perfect but a mower or chainsaw is too much for it and runs out down really fast.

If you really don't need the attachments I would get the weed wacker only model. I personally have it and it's legit.
