Battery is exactly as described. It lasts about 30 to 40 minutes with semi-constant use. It also recharges quickly with the rapid charger. I have not had it that long, so I cannot say if it will continue to hold a full charge or not.
I bought a snow thrower then a tiller. I used nether one a lot, but was happy with both. Looks like now the battery is shot, I thought it should have lasted better for no more for as little as it was used.

Hello Bobboomer,
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.

I get excellent results blowing snow from my driveway and dirt out of my garage using the 5.0 AH battery in my Greenworks leaf blower. Easy recharge and lasts 25-30 minutes even using the turbocharge button!
