I would NOT recommend a battery strimmer. They have a nasty habit of
losing charge progressively, and can't cut a wet paper bag.

I bought one for the allotment and within 6 months it would only strim
for 10 minutes as against the 30 it would to begin with. Waste of
money (I bought a petrol one after that). I have the cheapest B&D one
you can get for the back garden, but still wind up using the petrol
more often, simply because I don't have to worry about cables.
