I bought this string trimmer with some cash a present for my retirement from work 27 years as a power station electrical technician. It's been quite useful for my small garden at home but the battery charged light comes on a bit early to do all round and 4 paths of my alllotment, could I fit a 4Amp hr battery instead of the 2Amp hr one fitted please? Will a 4Amp hr battery fit the 2 Amp hr charger please? Or should I buy just another 2 Amp battery? The item code for the battery I've got is 29807.
Your web site gives the correct one as different number has the model changed at all please? mine has four connectors and a grey bump click button other end. The number G24 in oblong box 24V funny device LITHIUM. Greenworks tools on the side.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hello Frank
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. The run time for this 2Ah battery when used with this String Trimmer is up to 25 minutes, it run timer is depending on the load. Yes, a 4Ah battery can be used with this 24V 12 inch string trimmer, this 4Ah battery will offer double the run time of model 29842. While a 2.0 battery (29842) takes about 60 minutes to fully charge from a completely discharge states and the 4.0Ah ( 29852) will take approximately 120 minutes to fully charge from a fully discharge state.

I have not used battery-powered lawn tools before. The performance of the string trimmer and blower is about as expected and OK for a small residential property. The small "cell phone" looking charger is cheap and doesn't lock to battery. I recommend you get a kit with the large charger, or otherwise figure out the most economical way to get the big 29862 charger to use with your 24V tools, as you will be more satisfied.

Hello Johnny Deere
Thank you for taking the time to post your experience for this Greenworks 24V 12" String Trimmer + 330 CFM Axial Blower Combo.
A higher voltage battery does not provide additional runtime; it offers more power and torque. Each voltage platform has its own set of interchangeable tools and batteries but is not interchangeable across different voltage platforms.
A larger amp hour (Ah) will provide more run time, and you can use a larger amp hour battery in the G-24 24v voltage platform to increase run time.
If you would like to purchase an additional charger please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 888-909-6757 or visit our website at www.greenworkstools.com to order replacement parts.
Have only used the tools once, but they seemed to do the job well. The trimmer was easy to work with and light. The blower nozzle felt abit cheap, but having not used one before I don't know if that is normal. It doesn't have alot of power but is good for removing the grass and dry soil from the patio. The battery lasted long enough for my small area and it really does charge quickly (less than 30 min). But I was disappointed that the 24V battery with these tools was a different 24V battery from my other greenworks tool. In the descriptions online it only indicates that the battery is a 24v lithium ion battery, not that it is different from other 24v lithium ion batteries by the same company. It did say 24v max on the box, but again it had images of the other tools I had. My dad bought a trimmer that looks the exact same as the one I have, but is apparently different, because the battery is interchangeable with my hedge trimmer. So be very careful at checking the model number and battery of each piece of equipment you buy. They have models of each tool that uses each of the different batteries, even though they seem identical. I am very disappointed that the batteries are not the same and can't be interchanged.
I've been using this all summer now and I love it!

It's hard to believe that a lightweight trimmer has so much power! It zips through the toughest grass and weeds without wearing you out. I'm not a tall person so the adjustable head makes it just right without bending over. I can use this with NO backache afterwards!
after using it occasionally for just one month, the battery no longer connects correctly to the tool and I have to use a clamp to make it work. Disappointed
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
