The battery does not fit in kobalt tools. So close but …. Otherwise great tool and seem to be supported well by green works Lowes/kobalt seem to be losing enthusiasm for supporting their tools
I bought the chainsaw and two 5ah batteries separately about 4 years ago. I love the power but when I went to use the 2nd battery this year it was DOA. I hardly ever use this saw due to moisture during spring, winter and fall and usually use my gas saw during those times. Big disappointment!!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Grumpyolman,
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.
