I have had this battery for over 2 years, use it regularly and have never had an issue with this or any other Greenworks product. I own: selfpropelled lawnmower, chainsaw, blower, line trimmer, hedge trimmer and a pole saw all 60V. I had an issue once with a blower and Greenworks quickly sent me a replacement trimmer so I would not have to drive 50 miles to a certified repair shop. I have also purchase Greenworks products for one of my sons and a self-propelled lawn mower for my 88 year old mother who mows her lawn weekly and loves it. I would recommend Greenworks products and this 5.0 battery to anyone who wants a quality product.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Durable, Effective, Powerful
I bought this battery and tool combo over 2 years ago and they still work as if brand new out of the box. Plan to upgrade my battery eventually but overall very satisfied with the 2.5 Ah battery. I have spent many hours reviewing cordless equipment and Greenworks wins against the competition. This comes from a guy that has only used gas powered equipment and Greenworks tools definitely can hold their own against them.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Durable, Environmentally Safe
After 1 year, this battery life lasts 30-40 minutes of use in the backpack leaf blower even when used on the lower speed.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Zeke200,
We are sorry to hear about the experience you have encountered with this battery. The overall battery life is dependent on many factors such as where they have been stored, charged, and handled. When the battery will not be in use, we suggest storing it indoors, in a cool dry area - away from direct sunlight. Leave the charger unplugged and the battery disconnected from the charger unless it needs charging. It is recommended to store the battery with a full charge, and if it is being stored for a period where no use is expected, to check on the charge every couple of months. If you notice the charge has dropped, we advise charging the battery back up to full before returning it to its safe storage place. Following these steps will ensure you receive the most of the battery life. Please know that our batteries are covered by the manufacturer's warranty as stated in the owner’s manual period from the date of purchase. Should you continue to experience a problem with the battery and charger, please give us a call at 1-855-345-3934. All we ask that you have access to the battery and charger so that we can complete troubleshooting with you and gather necessary unit information.
I purchased a greenworks combo package which included a lawnmower, trimmer, blower, two battery chargers, and two batteries (one 60V 2.0 and one 60V 5.0) at a great deal (approximately 1 year ago). Both batteries were well taken care of. Kept in a cool area and charged properly.
The 60V 5.0 has already malfunctioned. When placed in the charger, it will initially flash green then turn red. The battery life indicator light will display 3 of 4 bars but when in use (such as the leaf blower), it will briefly give a surge of power then shut off.
I am very disappointed in the quality of this battery and don't see how this battery alone can be priced a little more then half of the combo package I purchased.
The 60V 2.0 is still going strong but I am now weary of how much longer it can or will last.
As others have said. I don't plan on purchasing a new battery every 8 months to a year.
Deal or no deal, it's ridiculous to invest in products that you expect to last (at least 3-4 years).....but doesn't.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I bought the leaf blower during the summer and the battery doesn't charge anymore. Even when it did, it only lasted 15 mins.

We have an older (4 years old) lawn mower whose battery has eventually lost life. The replacement battery is working great and making my lawn mowing much more timely!
