Right amount of Power and Run time for the fall leaf pickup. I was tired of different gas mixtures for the various tools. Make a switch on my Chain saw and Blower from Gas to battery powered. Two tools - two batteries so that I never run out of power. Both have worked well. Rapid charger definitely a plus. 80V battery does add weight but still light enough for the fall cleanup.
Blows leaves w/o a doubt. 80 Volt gives needed power for 20 minutes full power....reduced trigger power up to 40 minutes. Blew out gutters deep with leaves, directionally accurately without difficulty.
You simply can’t beat the convenience of no chords and plenty blower force to do the job. There are three settings for blower strength. Works awesome. Plenty of battery life.
Tool worked fine and used it for about 5 times. Next year when tried to use it, the battery wouldn't charge. Not sure if we need to jump the battery and how to do it. It's strange such a great tool but can't have a good battery. Very disappointed :(
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Bobby, Thank you for your review. 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. If the battery has been stored with little to no charge for a long period of time, the battery will go into recovery mode, which will take 24 hrs. to recharge. This helps enhance the life of the battery. Once it is fully charged, the next charge will return to standard charging. Please know that our batteries are covered by warranty for a 2-year period from the date of purchase. We hope these tips will help you with the issue you have encountered, however, if they do not please kindly contact us at 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or by email on info@greenworkstools.com.
