I've used 3 different top-brand models that an elderly neighbour bought. All were very underpowered compared to mains versions, and discharged quickly. Charging times ranged from 2 to 5 hours.

The hedge actually belongs to their neighbours who let it grow above 3 metres and across the boundary line, but refuse to do the trimming on both sides or reduce the height. The High Hedges Law cannot help as the over grown hedge is to the north of their garden.
