This is my second one in three years. My battery charger quit working,so I bought a whole new unit. I really didn't use the hedge trimmer that much and felt it should have a longer life and be of better quality. The product is lightweight and easy to use and the price is okay.

Not sure what happened with the guy that's having all of the battery problems -- I actually stored the battery that came with this... more info
