You're seriously asking why would someone need a battery powered vacuum? Lol

Another "wrong" person. Have a 20+ year old Ridgid 16 gal vac thats been abused and still works great.
Another situation where I wish I had a cordless shop vacuum occurred last year. I bought some cheap rough cut fence pickets and culling 2X8 redwood boards and processed them with my neighbor's corded dewalt planer. The problem is we had access to only One 15 Amp outlet. Whenever we plug in both planer and one of our corded dewalt shop vacuum to suck up all the wood shavings, we can trip the circuit. The planer + shop vacuum can exceed 15 Amp draw. We had to settle for using a leaf blower to clean the planer just so we can continue to plane my fence pickets. You have to have some dust collection or some way to clean off all the wood shaving effectively as when the planer is full of wood shaving, you can't really use it well to say the least.
If you use your shop vacuum often and you don't want to drag the cord around, a powerful cordless shop vacuum is definitely convenient. This Ego, Milwaukee double battery M18 shop vacuum, Bosch heavy duty (not the $150 18V shop vacuum) shop vacuums are worth your consideration. Just remember, battery life is going to be bad. This one benefit from the 56V platform so its battery "lasts" longer. It's just simple physics. V * I = watt = work. So the higher voltage produce less potential waste in heat generated by the wiring (Amp * Amp * Resistance = heat wasted as current passes through your wire). The more powerful vacuums generally need more wattage. That's one big reason that corded shop vacuums are more powerful.
I love Ego tools but they are spendy and their batteries are way overpriced.

I'd have to agree 100%
