Does the Husqvarna 320iL come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool. It runs on any Husqvarna 40V battery, which you buy separately unless you already own one.

How does Boost Mode work?

A button on the handle raises power by about 20% for thick weeds and tall grass. Expect the battery to drain faster while it is engaged.

What line does the RapidReplace head take?

It uses standard trimmer line in the diameter Husqvarna specifies for the head. You align the head, feed the line and twist to lock it, with no tools needed.

Is it strong enough for brush and saplings?

No. It is a string trimmer for grass and light weeds. Dense brush and woody stems need a brush cutter.

How does it compare with the Husqvarna 220iL?

The 320iL adds Boost Mode, the dual-direction head and the RapidReplace system, and it is lighter. The 220iL is the simpler, lower-power option on the same 40V platform.

Can I use it with any Husqvarna 40V battery?

Yes. It is compatible with the full Husqvarna 40V battery range, so larger packs give longer runtime at more weight.

What reviewers say

Owners of the 320iL generally praise its light weight, the easy RapidReplace head and the extra push from Boost Mode. Criticism centers on battery runtime under load and on the bare-tool packaging, since the trimmer does not come with a battery or charger.
