[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These batteries work great with my mower. My yard is just large enough that the pair that came with the mower don't last. I bought this set so I could mow the whole yard without waiting for them to charge in between. No issues!
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet, Environmentally Safe, Effective, Powerful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The battery and charger get very hot when charging
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello JPO1956. Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. It is not normal for one any of our batteries to overheat while draining, especially in a temperature-controlled environment. The battery may be warm to the touch after use in a tool but not "hot". If you are concerned that there may be something wrong with your unit, battery, or charger, please call us at 1-888-909-6757 or start a live chat via https://www.greenworkstools.com.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought a mower combo kit which uses these batteries six months ago. Battery life should be longer than 15 minutes, but mower stops working around that time. Putting the batteries on the charger doesn't do anything until they cool off. Takes about two and a half hours for them to cool down and recharge. My yard, which is less than 1/4 acre. should take one charge and 45 minutes to mow, but instead requires three charges and 8 hours to mow. So I bought more batteries and another charger.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello R Bits,
Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the run time of this battery when used in this lawn mower. It is important to recognize that the run time depends on the load acting against the unit and fluctuates depending on the height setting, the terrain, grass height, type of grass, whether you are mulching, operator technique, etc. - there are so many factors to consider. The harder the unit must work, the quicker the battery charge will drain. Similar to how the gas in a vehicle will deplete quicker when driving at higher speeds or carrying more weight. When using your battery, you have to be aware of the ambient temperature as well as the battery temperature. If you are working in very warm areas, try to keep the batteries cool before using them to avoid shut-down due to the battery pack overheating. Your product will shut down if the battery reaches 70°C (158°F) cell temperature.
How to keep the battery from overheating:
Do not use it in high ambient temperatures (higher than 40°C/104°F).
Do not use battery-powered tools for tasks they are not designed to perform (cutting tall grass with a battery-powered walk-behind mower requires more power).
Do not store the battery in an unsuitable, warm place like a car.
Do not leave the battery in the product (e.g. walk-behind mower) while in the sun.

I love the mower. It was a gift. BUT!!! The batteries are HORRIBLE!!!! I might be able to cut for 25 minutes (if I'm lucky), then they die.

I have a 16 inch chainsaw with 2 batteries. The saw is 48 volt so it takes 2x24 volt batteries. I also have a 24 volt power washer that takes one 24 volt battery. The life of these batteries is great. They also charge really fast. Happy I purchased this brand.
Drill/Impact Driver Kit Arrived w/ 2 Batteries DOA. Forward to 8th Battery as Replacement. I Contact C.Serv. re: #7 inability to Charge. Their Superv. Listens to Recorded Call of Rep & Myself, I Freely State Use of Drill (Frame a Closet) in a Residence w/Contractors[Electr.,Plumbers,etc] She Terminates Warranty for my Sins i.e. Pseudo-Commercial Infraction. Kangaroo Courts or PizPoor Management. Bottom Line- Lets' Find the TRUTH, When 7 Batterys r DOA's a Preponderance of Evidence is Blatantly Clear. As a Tool-Lover it's Disheartening when Ignorance trumps Truth, We All Loose. I'll go to the Gates of Hell cause an "IDEAL" Cannot be Terminated.
Pros: Quiet
