Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Litheli 40V lithium-ion battery and charger, which are sold separately. Check that your existing Litheli 40V packs fit before buying.

How much snow can it handle?

It clears a 20-inch path and takes in up to 12 inches of snow at the auger. It is a single-stage machine, so it works best on light to moderate snowfall and struggles in wet, heavy or deep drifts.

How long does the battery last?

Runtime depends on the 40V battery you use and on snow conditions. Expect shorter runs in wet, heavy snow; keep a spare charged pack on hand for larger driveways.

No. The handlebar folds, and the bare tool weighs about 34 lbs, so it stores on a shelf or in a corner more easily than a gas blower.

The bare tool, a hex key, two cable clips and four handle locking knobs. Battery and charger are not included.

How does it compare with a gas snow blower?

It is quieter, exhaust-free and needs no fuel or oil changes, but a gas single-stage or two-stage machine throws snow farther and runs as long as you keep fueling it.
