No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SSG Parks. 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. For reference, the difference between the amp hour (Ah) is runtime. The higher the Ah (amp hour) the more runtime a battery will provide. Yes, you could use a 2.0Ah batteries instead, just note that 2.0Ah battery yield a shorter run time of about 20-30 minutes in a mower. Larger amp hour batteries in the Greenworks 60v line but are essentials for larger tools like the mowers for optimal runtime. We would be happy to investigate to see whether your run time would be considered average; please start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com or contact Greenworks at 1-888-909-6757.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this in April have used probably a dozen times. Originally it would last about 17 minute, which already wasn't great. Just came in from most recent mow and it ran for a total of 6 minutes. I'd be better off buying generic batteries. Not at all worth the upcharge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Faster than using a weeder, more effective. I was using my weeder before but an actual edger is what you need lol saves on spool and its faster. Had a corded edger previously, qas annoying dragging around the cord all over the yard. Threw it away and thanked the heavens.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to put together, works great paired with the 60V mower. So much easier and neater lines than using a trimmer.
