I have the 765CFM previous "top of the line" version, and a 5ah battery can go for nearly 30 minutes combined as long as I'm not going full ham on it. The battery itself has a pretty decent "life meter" on it already. Who the hell is asking for this stupid readout that is eating battery power?!? Add to that, the 765CFM version has the same "mph" rating of nearly 200mph, so I don't know if this model will catch on.
And like another poster already pointed out, the two 4ah batteries and charger that are included with the kit make this a far, far better value that a "tool only" option.
I've used 2.5ah batteries in my ego blower(s) in the past, and they're good for smaller, shorter tasks as long as you don't pin the trigger back the entire time on the blower. I wouldn't use them for, say, my entire 1/2 acre property. And it can't be overstated how much lighter and easier it is to use the entire unit is with a 2.5ah vs a 5ah. After half a day with the 5ah, it feels like you're lugging around a small car battery.
