Just was at home depot today and saw the new Echo line of battery powered tools. This includes a chain saw, lawn mower, hedge trimmer, and leaf blower. But what is really exciting is the tool system runs on a 58v and is running 4.0ah batteries (also have a 2ah one), That is ~230wh per pack. No idea what cells they are using but the 4ah version charges in 1 hour and the 2ah in 30 minutes. The blower appears to have the highest consumption killing a 4ah pack in about 30 minutes.
4.0ah battery looks to running about $169 USD which is cheap for the amount of watt/hours in the power tool realm.
All the too are also running brushless motors.

I would love to buy one and tear it down to see what makes it tick and also see if it would make good donors our projects. I will have to see if they start to show up on ebay.
