With a full charge I only get about 20 minutes of use. This is disappointing. I thought it would run for i hour
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello anonymous
We are sorry to hear that you were not completely satisfied with the run time of this battery. The run time varies depending on the tool that it is being used in but also the load acting against the unit while in use. We would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please kindly contact GreenWorks at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.
The 5ah greenworks 60V is a beast of a battery. With it's large number of battery cells and watt hour rating, I keep these puppies for my larger amp drawing tools; I have the mower, chainsaw, wet/dry vac, and hybrid pressure washer. Works phenomenally well with weight vs capacity in these tools. Also charging these with solar, can be accomplished with a 1200 watt inverter ;)
I received my battery in a timely manner. It is charged and ready to provide extra power to complete the yard mowing. Loving the battery powered mower!
