    I bought the black and Decker cordless leaf blower and drill at wal mart 20v lithium ion have had it a little over 2 years and batteries still work like new .
    I ussually get 2 to 3 blowouts per battery.
    I use my cobra 1500 watt inverter to keep it charged

    I"m gonna go out on a limb and say it probably depends on the brand. As to how long they last.

    Some trucks with pre installed inverters have a plug in the side box... So all you have to do is run a dropcord from the cab to the trailer.

    I use a broom but have thought about a blower option too.

    Now that will be a good option...
    I must remember this in the future.

    Thanks

    But then you need a 120 foot long extension cord to go to the back of the trailer then all the way inside to the front.

    That's one of the benefits of vents on the wagon, 75 ft cord and your good.

    Good point... Unfortunately, we don't have those on our trailers... But the cordless option might work for me... But a broom is fine too.
