I'm trying to figure out if my two DeWalt 20V Max batteries can power a decent leaf blower for my small backyard. Specifically, I need something that can handle maintaining my deck and walkway. Should I just go ahead and buy a blower that comes with a new battery, or are my current ones strong enough to manage?

I just got the DeWalt 20V blower with the gray tip, and honestly, it drains batteries super quickly. I tried it with some older 2Ah batteries, and they only lasted about 10 seconds—no joke! If you do go with this blower, definitely have a couple of 4Ah batteries or bigger on hand, especially if your yard is larger than mine, which is about 20x30 feet. Those 60V models probably chew through batteries even faster!
I totally recommend spending a bit more for a 60V blower and getting the Flexvolt batteries. Trust me, the power and battery life are a game changer. The 9Ah Flexvolt batteries that come with the 60V models are awesome—they pack a punch! You won't regret it if you go that route. It really blows away the competition! ?
Just realized my batteries are both 1.5Ah, so yeah, not ideal! Thanks for the recommendation!
