What enormous strides? The energy/weight figure for battery is still
light years behind petrol.

No, not light years, about 50%, For the whole package. A neodymium based
brushless motor is a lot lighter than an equivalent 2 stroke. But the
final weight is really all about battery capacity. That means a cordless
is a winner for occasional consumer use, but is ****ing pointless if you
need to run the thing all day on a major bit of tree surgery
