Hello B Barker.
We are sorry to hear of your experience with the battery. To remove the battery from the trimmer, you will locate the release button near the battery compartment and press and hold the button down. This will eject the battery from the lock position, and you can remove it from the unit.
Here's a video to a different model but the battery removal feature is the same (https://youtu.be/KGjb1FJr0pE?t=221).
Should you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us directly through Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com that will direct you to a live agent or call us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) to speak with a live agent.

Great product!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Super great trimmer! I love how easy it was to set up and no need for gas and oil. It is also very quiet and does a great job. It feels cheaply made, everything is a heavy plastic except the metal alloy shaft. It comes with a strap to help with the weight, which is nice because the battery is solid 10-15 lbs and acts as a counterweight.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful

Lightweight and powerful

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far we have been cutting wet weeds with this string trimmer. It is doing a much better job than I expected and my gas weed eater will be kept only as a backup. This has so much power and the run time with even the smaller battery is pretty decent. I'll be investing in some larger ah batteries soon to extend run time. Great product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased a green Works mower just over two years ago. I’m so pleased with it. I just purchased a green works string trimmer to replace my current gas powered one. I’m very excited to try it. Been very pleased with the quality so far of Green works products.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Decent trimmer, poor battery life
on April 3, 2025
Posted by: Olem
from Olema, CA

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Trimmer is very slow to ramp up (takes 3-4 seconds to get to usable speed), but once there it's nice and powerful and trims well.
Main complaint is battery. I have a pair of the 2.5AH batteries, advertised as giving up to 50 minutes use each. I'm lucky if I can get 10 minutes of continuous trimming before they are out of energy and need a 45 minute recharge. I don't know where the 50-minutes comes from; maybe walking around doing little touch-up trims?
It is certainly not 50 minutes of continuous use cutting grass! Mind you, these aren't heavily used batteries near the end of their life; I've got maybe a half dozen charges on each.

Hello Olem.
Thank you for sharing your experience. High-power string trimmers can consume battery life quickly, especially when used for extended periods or when dealing with thick vegetation, but runtime can vary depending on the battery capacity and the trimmer's setting. The trimmers variable speed controls, allow you to adjust the power for different cutting conditions and potentially extend battery life. We hope these tips provide a better user experience. If you would like us to investigate the runtime you are getting, please start a Live chat on www.greenworkstools.com or call Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934. So, our experts can discuss your experience; please have your unit, battery and charger with you along with the model and serial number to complete troubleshooting to ensure quick resolution is provided.
