Great Charge Capacity

I bought this 6 weeks ago and to my surprise it had a much longer charge capacity to not only go through normal operation but much needed extra-oomph for few seconds during the yard work. I’m impressed by performance as well as features on battery pack showing charge indicator. Not to mention overall it appears to be Solid Build Product. The initial cost is high, but versatility of 60v tools available overall it’s quite affordable.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I put it in my ex range mower and it goes and goes and goes. It works. Nothing more to say.

The X-Range/Bluetooth battery is the one you want
on August 27, 2023

I own six Greenworks 60V X-Range batteries: three are 2.5AH, three are 5.0AH. I also own one 2.5 and one 5.0 that are NOT X-Range. The X-Ranges last a bit longer per charge; maybe 5 percent longer under a light load, 10 percent longer under a heavy load. They're more durable, with a higher IPX rating against dust, moisture, and vibration. I've paired four with my Greenworks app; the other two, I couldn't get to pair. I recommend going with the X-Range for the 2.5AH size, in particular. When used in my 610 CFM blower, my non-X-Range 2.5 battery cuts out as soon as I press the Turbo button. My X-Range 2.5s don't cut. I've even used my X-Range 2.5 in my 21-inch Gen 2 mower with the Turbo button or self-propelled transmission engaged, though not with both engaged at the same time.
The 2.5AH cells can handle 25 amps. If you need your batteries in a tool that draws a lot of power--say, in a chainsaw, an edger, or a cultivator--think twice before buying a 3.0AH or 6.0AH battery. Those batteries use 3.0AH cells, which pass fewer amps (15, I believe) before cutting out. If my numbers are correct, here's how many watts each battery can deliver:
0810 watts (54V x 15A) 3.0AH battery
1350 watts (54V x 25A) 2.5AH X-Range battery
1620 watts (54V x 30A) 6.0AH battery
2700 watts (54V x 50A) 5.0AH X-Range battery
And the 3.0AH-celled batteries, of course, lack the IPX5 rating of the X-Range batteries.
On one of my X-Range 2.5s, the indicator LEDs no longer light up. Even so, the indicator bars on the tool light up when I use the "bad" battery.
I'm very happy with my X-Range batteries and the now-discontinued X-Range tools. They're the main reason I went with Greenworks 60V instead of 40V or 80V.

Response from greenworkstools.comBy GreenWorks Tools, GreenWorks Customer Service , September 21, 2020
Hello anonymous,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this product. Here are a few troubleshooting suggestions to check out. 1) When the battery is inserted, the light should begin flashing green to indicate the battery is charging. If this light is not igniting or is flashing red, this may indicate an issue and we would be interested in hearing more about this. If the light simply goes solid red, try removing the battery and unplugging the charger for about 10 minutes and place them both indoors in a room temperature setting, as this might indicate the battery is at the incorrect temperature to be charged. 2) Ensure that the battery has been fully inserted into the charger. Sometimes this requires a firm push into place to make sure that it has been properly seated. 3) Try resetting the charger. To do this, simply unplug it for approximately 10 minutes and then plug it back in and try reinserting the battery. If the charger has been plugged in for extended periods of time, this can sometimes cause the charger to malfunction. Please note that our GreenWorks batteries and chargers are covered by a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase. If you have tried these suggestions and are still experiencing an issue, please kindly give us a call at 1-855-345-3934 or by email on info@greenworkstools.com for further assistance.

Biggest Range yet

I bought this a month ago due to needing a little extra to finish my yard and honestly I should've started with this one! Now the whole yard can be done with just one of these bad boys. The bluetooth feature was not a necessity for me however it is a huge plus. Shipping was pretty decent arrived in under 2 weeks.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Long life

Powerful battery. It seemed to last longer than the original. It has push button power meter so it's easy to check status. It also has a Bluetooth feature that you can use with the greenworks ap to monitor battery status. The construction also seems a bit heavier duty than the original.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased to 4.0 60V battery to have additional storage compared to the 2.0 and 2.5 version. Longer lasting and works better than expected.
