Not happy with the battery. Is there an upgrade battery that will fit Green Works GMAX 40-Volt 2.0 Amp Hour Lithium-Ion Pole Saw.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello SharpEdge,
We are sorry to hear you are not happy with the cuts per battery charge. All Greenworks 40V GMAX machines are compatible and interchangeable with all Greenworks 40V GMAX batteries and charger. In regards this lawn mower, or any other 40V product that does explicitly indicate GMAX on our website, they would also be compatible and interchangeable with all Greenworks 40V GMAX products. Follow the link below to view our 40V GMAX battery platform: https://www.greenworkstools.com/collections/batteries-chargers?sort_by=manual&filter.v.price.gte=0&filter.v.price.lte=899&filter.p.m.attribute.voltage=40V. It's worth noting, using a heavier battery is an added weight to the unit which may not be as comfortable to handle as a smaller battery.
Thrilled with this chain saw. Lightweight, quiet, no kickback, easy handling. This saw made quick work of my tree trimming work. Love this product. Wish I had bought one years ago.
I bought this to help out with trimming trees and not have to tire myself out with a regular pole saw. Works fine except it leaks oil! Read your manual and it says if you intend to store it for prolonged periods of time to empty the oil reservoir and run for about a minute. Not sure why they would make a product that knowingly does this because none of my gas saws have ever had this problem. I have this model 20672, i dont know if the newer models have this problem but please be aware of this before you buy.
Pros: Convenient, Easy to Use, Quiet
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello BigAl66,
Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of your unsatisfactory experience. All chainsaws will slowly “leak” oil in storage (mostly from it seeping off the chain). To prevent excessive leakage, store with as little oil left in the reservoir as possible, lay the chainsaw flat with a rag beneath it and the pole saw upright with the motor head at the top. During first use, operators should only fill the reservoir to roughly half full and check periodically to see if it needs to be refilled. Eventually, you will become accustomed to the amount of oil required for each job. This procedure will make it easier to store the unit as oil free as possible and reduce oil run off. Should you require further assistance, please contact Greenworks Pro toll-free helpline at 1-855-345-3934.
Unlike many, the length is easy to understand, and the extensions are great. With too many extensions it can get heavy if holding straight out, but for more vertical work it is great to have. Price is good for 40V 8" saw plus hedge trimmer with battery. Battery life is good. Ove rall very satisfied.
