Is this good for heavy snow?

No. A single 20V battery puts it in the light-duty class. It handles a few inches of dry snow; wet or deep snow will bog it down.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Check the listing carefully. Many Garvee bare-tool listings sell the blower alone, so confirm whether a battery and charger are in the box.

It is quieter, lighter and needs no fuel or maintenance, but a gas two-stage blower throws far more snow and clears deep drifts this cannot.

Brushless motors are more efficient and have fewer wearing parts than brushed ones, so they typically run longer per charge and last longer.

Only if they share the same battery platform and connector. Garvee batteries are not guaranteed to fit other brands' tools.
