I hesitated answering this question because it can be hard to get an accurate run time with a tool like this owing to the stop/start nature of the task at hand.

Today I used it on in a situation where I would usually use a high powered 2-stroke machine due to the volume of material to move and the size of the job.

Started out with a full charge on an AK20 (mid capacity) battery and a spare AK10 (low capacity) battery as a back up.





These images only depict half of the length of this footpath and also include gutters. The blower had not trouble lifting these damp Manchurian Pear leaves.

Lots of leaves in those bags...........


Charge level afterwards on the AK20, didn't need the AK10 .....



I find these batteries recovery somewhat after a rest, gaining an extra bar of charge after about 15 minutes. That said, when they are flat, the simply stop rather than gradually getting slower and slower like a my Makita gear does.

Charge level at the end of the day after a couple of smaller jobs moving grass clippings from pavement.......



Certainly wont be able to use this on an ''all day'' basis, but I was very surprised today by its capability.
