Electric equipment, particularly battery powered, is underpowered versus it's gas counterparts when it comes to outdoor equipment
You’d be surprised. Battery size/hr life are usually the main problems.
Yard size would play a big role in getting a battery mower. But a trimmer and blower(so long as you don’t have a lot of trees). Edgers don’t seem to do as well.
I have a backpack blower and a battery. I use the battery blower for most jobs and the backpack in the fall when I have to use it for hours because of leaves. Awesome can even use it in the house but for a quick clean off the porch or driveway it’s even better. Just press and blow, and you don’t stink like gas. I also had a stihl handheld blower prior, the battery op unit had the same specs.
Get a good brand and get a few of the high amp hour batteries.
I have Milwaukee cordless tools in just about everything so just got their blower. 9 and 12 amp hr batteries

Battery powered are more convenient, but I haven't found a battery powered sawzall that works as good as the corded one.
Only really have an issue with the gas smell if I'm using a chainsaw.
Gas also has the convenience of not having to wait on a charge, buying multiple packs, or having to drag a cord
