Battery pack improvements have to be right up there with why electric have gotten so much better now.

The new tabless batteries in particular are a good step forward even with older tools. And they are last 18 months or less depending on your tool colour of choice.

Really big tools like most landscaping or concrete tools that use the really big batteries (think back pack batteries) have an insane amount of watts they can push out.

I never used petrol tools but I did use mains tools a lot due to the extra power but now 240v is often lower than the top battery tools now.
