I own the cultivator, weed eater and blower. Was looking for a battery that could supplement the original battery and get whatever job I was doing completed without recharging again. Mission accomplished!
Loooong life in this battery. I’ve always had good luck with Greenworks tools and batteries. The only negative I can think of is the weight of the battery, but if you’re looking for extended time using a tool, it’s a minor consideration.
The 4Ah battery is great. We can cut the entire lawn without stopping and have plenty of power left over for the leaf blower and string trimmer. Worth the money.
The life on these batteries is excellent. It took me about 90 minutes to mow myb1/2 acre undulating yard that hadn't been cut in 6 weeks.The first battery lasted over an hour and the second had all the charge light showing when finished mowing. On the 80 V blower the standard battery lasts for over an hour at medium speed.
The battery is larger and heavier than expected but has good run time. However, my 11 month old Greenworks charger died while charging it and the company did not offer any compensation or rebate. I had already bought 4 greenworks 80v tools so I'm too heavily invested to go elsewhere. Had to buy a new charger at full price. I'd recommend going with Kobalt instead.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

My lawn is very dusty and always clogged the engine of the gas lawnmower. Since I have had the battery lawnmower, mowing the lawn is much easier. The batteries are great and last long.
