It has a function available for charging a single battery, but it’s best to charge both at once since the power turns off if either battery runs down – they operate together as a unit in this trimmer. WORX WA3578 PowerShare 20V Lithium Ion High Capacity BatteryĪnother helpful feature is the dual charger that you may receive with your purchase or buy separately. This collection of more than 75 models of lawn equipment and power tools can all be powered by the same Worx batteries, be they 20-, 40-, or 80-volt. I want to start by mentioning that Worx has a good thing going with its Power Share line. Now that that’s out of the way, let’s talk about the key features that set this model apart from the competition. They aren’t for clearing lots – yours or your neighbor’s. Trimmer/edgers are built for keeping the edges of the lawn tidy, and weeding spaces where you would be spending hours on your hands and knees and returning to do it again next week if you weren’t using a weed eater. Nor should you use these types of tools to cut thorny canes, dry tree branches, entire lawns that are larger than 100 or so square feet, or overgrown vegetable gardens at the end of the season.Īs my husband relayed to me based on decades of experience, a tool like the WG184 might survive one of those jobs, but the duress would run through the battery charge really quickly and use up spool after spool of weed eater line. You’ll quickly destroy a trimmer by trying to use it for hardcore jobs like clearing brush from a gulley or cutting scrub from a quarter-acre that hasn’t been mown for years. I’m sorry if this is going to burst your bubble, but that’s all, folks.
