Cordless hedge trimmers: neat hedges without the cable
Hedges give your garden privacy, shelter and structure, but only if you keep them in shape. A cordless hedge trimmer makes that job quicker and safer: no extension lead snaking along the hedge and no risk of cutting through the cable mid-job. The Batavia 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer 560 mm combines a long blade with a compact, lightweight body and runs on the 18V Maxxpack battery platform.
Applications
- Trimming privet, beech, hornbeam, laurel and conifer hedges
- Shaping shrubs, borders and evergreen bushes
- Keeping long boundary hedges straight and even
- Cutting back new growth after the spring or late-summer growth spurt
- Maintenance work at the far end of the garden, away from any socket

Hedge trimmer, shears or pruner?
A hedge cutter is made for soft, leafy growth and shaping. For small shrubs and detail work, the lighter cordless hedge shears are handier. For thicker branches, use a pruner or one-hand saw from our pruning tools.
Tips for a straight, healthy hedge
- Trim the sides first, working from the bottom up, then level the top.
- Use a string line as a guide for a perfectly straight top.
- Keep the hedge slightly tapered, wider at the base, so the lower part gets enough light.
- Move the blade in smooth, sweeping arcs and let the long blade do the work.

Frequently asked questions about cordless hedge trimmers
What makes the 18V Cordless Hedge Trimmer 560 mm a good choice?
It combines a long 560 mm blade with a compact, lightweight body, a two-hand safety switch and a hand guard, and it runs on the 18V Maxxpack battery that fits 50+ Batavia tools.
Is a cordless hedge trimmer safe to use?
Yes. There is no cable you can cut or trip over, the two-hand safety switch stops the blades as soon as you release one hand, and the hand guard protects your hands from cuttings.
Can I cut thick branches with a cordless hedge trimmer?
A hedge trimmer is designed for leafy growth and thin shoots. For thicker branches, use a cordless pruner or a one-hand chainsaw instead, as forcing branches into the blade can damage it.
Which battery does the hedge trimmer use?
It uses an 18V Maxxpack battery. The same battery and charger power more than 50 other Batavia 18V tools.
When is the best time to trim a hedge?
Most hedges are trimmed in late spring and again in late summer. Always check for nesting birds before you start. Our hedge trimming guide on the blog explains timing per hedge type.
How do I maintain the blades of my hedge trimmer?
Remove the battery, clean sap and debris from the blades after each use and apply a care oil to prevent rust and keep the blades running smoothly.
