Disappointed in 80v battery performance

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a garage full of 60v tools but bought the refurbished 80v 800cfm blower because the price was too good.
This is my first blower, so I don't have a comparison, but I’m only getting about 15min of run time on the 2.5ah battery (reconditioned). Maybe the reconditioned battery has decreased capacity. But I was expecting to see the 69 minutes run time. Granted, that’s for operating at “low” setting. But still, I can only get a fraction of my job done on this battery.

Hello Skidinsko, Thank you for sharing your feedback and for choosing Greenworks! We are glad to hear you are expanding your collection with our 80V blower. Run time can vary depending on factors such as air speed setting, ambient temperature, and the condition of the battery. For reference, the running time of an 80V 800 CFM brushless leaf blower with a 2.5Ah battery on high is up to 15 to 20 minutes, which aligns with what you are experiencing. For longer jobs, we recommend using a higher-capacity 4.0 Ah or 5.0 Ah battery. You can view the 80V battery platform here (https://www.greenworkstools.com/collections/80-volt?uff_knr5hq_productType=Battery). Having a second battery on hand can also help reduce downtime. If you continue to notice shorter run times, please contact our Customer Care team on 1-888-909-6757 (1-888-90WORKS) or via Live Chat we are happy to assist.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This renewed blower has more power and battery life for my yards needs. Out of the box it looked new. The only sign of renewed product was the battery had someone’s initials engraved in the plastic. Everything else looked new.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the second time I have purchased this snow blower. Not many changes from the first version visually except the cheaper directional control. I bought the first one used and the board failed so I could no longer use the unit. I hope this one lasts longer since it is factory new.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Simple to use, powerful, and gets the job done!
Doesn't last as long as a gas blower with a full tank, but the battery charges VERY quickly, so not a major issue. Runs for plenty of time to build a few piles, then you can put the battery on the charger while you deal with those piles, and by the time they are dealt with, the battery is ready to create more!
Optional strap is probably a good idea, blower isn't crazy heavy (most of the weight is the 80v battery), but it does tire out the arm/hand of a reasonably fit 56 year old man!
MUCH quieter than a gas powered leaf blower, so early morning, late evening tasks with this blower can be performed without driving the neighbors crazy!
Garage has 3 Greenworks tools in it now, all using the same 80v battery (16 inch chainsaw, 20 inch snow blower, and now the leaf blower)!! Likely going to add at least a couple more!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this on Friday and had my entire yard blown clear of leaves by Monday! I was shocked and very happy with the performance of this thing!
