Does the kit include a battery and charger?

Yes. The kit comes with a V20 battery, a charger, the string trimmer and a blower.

Is this trimmer good for thick weeds?

Not really. It handles light grass and edging well, but 20-volt power bogs down in thick, tall or wet growth.

Yes. The V20 battery works across the Craftsman V20 cordless line, which is the main reason to pick this kit.

Small to medium yards. Runtime and the narrow cutting swath make it slow on large lots.

It uses standard replacement trimmer line for its bump-feed head; check the head's line diameter before buying refills.

For light trimming, yes. For heavy overgrowth or all-day use, a higher-voltage or gas trimmer is a better fit.
