The longevity of the batteries remains to be seen. So far (notwithstanding a defective battery) it's a non-issue. And I don't think anyone ever bought an electric auger to drill holes more quietly. You buy one for the reliability, weight savings, and maybe the lack of fumes if you're opening holes in a shack.
If your gas works for you great...keep using it. The reliability isn't an issue for you, and ignorance is bliss as far as the weight savings go. But mark my words, one day you will get an electric auger and regret you didn't sooner. That's just the way it is.
