Hello there, We are sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this must be when the battery performance does not meet expectations. For charging concerns, a typical charge time for an 80V 2.0Ah battery should be significantly less than 17 hours, so we recommend first confirming that the charger is functioning properly, check that the indicator lights are behaving as expected and that the battery is fully seated in the charger. It can also help to try a different compatible charger if available, as an issue with the charger can lead to extended charge times. For runtime, factors such as cutting thick or overgrown grass, using high power settings continuously, or mowing when the grass is wet can reduce overall runtime. Raising the deck height and mowing in drier conditions can help improve efficiency. Additionally, ensure the battery is allowed to cool before charging and is stored at room temperature, as extreme temperatures can impact both charging and performance. If you continue to experience unusually long charge times or reduced runtime after these checks, we recommend reaching out to our customer success team so we can further evaluate the battery and charger and assist with next steps. They can be reached either using the online chat function, on Greenworks Tools page, or by calling 1-888-909-6757.
WILL NOT WORK IN A CRT428 Riding Mower. Works fine in my push mower, trimmer, polesaw, and leaf blower. GW sent me two, to replace failed BAB727 batteries, but they will not operate the mower (powers on, shows 0%, and powers off.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I bought the battery to reduce weight when using my trimmer and blower. No such luck, it’s almost as heavy as the 4Ah battery that came with it. FYI, since it’s a refurbished I’m stuck with it!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that weight expectations can vary, especially when comparing different battery capacities. While the 80V 2.0Ah battery is designed to be lighter than higher-capacity options, the difference may feel minimal because both batteries use the same housing platform and internal components required to deliver consistent 80V power output and durability. The 2.0Ah battery weighs approximately 2.8 lbs., which is slightly lighter than the 4.0Ah version, but still built to balance performance and runtime. If reducing overall tool weight is a priority, using the lower-capacity battery for shorter tasks or alternating usage between tools may help improve handling comfort. If you have any questions about compatible batteries or charger options, please contact Greenworks Success at 1-888-909-6757 or through live chat, and our team will be glad to assist.

Hi Chuck 53. Thank you for your feedback. A Greenworks 80V 2.0Ah Battery can yield up to 20 minutes of runtime depending on the product and power applied. Actual runtime can vary depending on the load applied to the battery, such as higher power settings or Turbo Mode, as well as the type of tool being operated, such as a self-propelled lawn mower versus a leaf blower. For extended runtime, we recommend using a higher amp-hour (Ah) battery within the same voltage platform. Should you have any new question or further concerns, please contact us directly at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) to speak with an agent or start a chat and we will be happy to assist. Thank you for continuing to choose Greenworks Tools!
