A: Yes, all of the tools in the COMPACT Cordless System use the same style of battery. There are three different batteries in the range, which all have different capacities. For the HLA 56, we recommend the AK 20 battery which will mean the tool is perfectly balanced, but you can use the AK 10 and AK 30 battery in this tool. The HLA 56 has double-sided blades with a droplet shape on the end of each tooth to help guide hedge material towards the cutters. The cutter bar is 45cm long with 30mm tooth spacing. This is ideal for trimming annual growth and overgrown hedges with branches up to around 16mm. That covers most traditional British hedges like laurel, yew, hornbeam, buxus and beech.
