Notes

Battery leaf blowers are used seasonally and often fail from switch wear, electronics, or fan/impeller damage after debris ingestion. Repair is a good choice when the battery is healthy and the blower needs a straightforward fix like a trigger switch or fan housing.

Replace if the motor/controller is burned out, the tool overheats repeatedly, or the battery ecosystem change (new platform) is driving the decision more than the fault itself.
