Yes, the crews would need many batteries over the course of the day and would need to recharge them at night.
My lawn guy died, and thinking both of my waistline and the money paid out for lawn maintenance I decided I'd to it myself. I considered battery powered stuff but a trip to Lowe's ended in buying a weed whacker, hedge trimmer, and mower--all 110 volt. Also a 100' extension cord. All items work wonderfully and at a noise level much less than gas-operated, though the mower sounds like my wife's Cuisinart on steroids.

Total for all three plus the cord: about $350.00. And the waistline is looking better too.
