The snow blower takes about 35 minutes to do my walk, driveway and two neighbor's walks. The two batteries drain about 20% of their energy during that usage.

The hedge trimmers uses one battery on about 40 ft of hedge. My arms wear out before the battery quits.

In other words, modern batteries are such that you are not likely to run out of charge before the task is complete.
