Depends on how heavy the brush is you are trimming.  I have a Dewalt 60V
flex trimmer that has two settings.  On the low power setting with the
largest pack, it will run for an hour.  I have use this on all but the
toughest weeds and it did the job admirably.  On the really heavy stuff, I
had to switch it to high power.  On high the battery drain is quite a bit
faster.  I have not done the math, but the 12ah battery was VERY
expensive.  It might be more economical to by two of the 9ah batteries
instead and swap halfway through.
