    1st gen Kobalt 80v circuit board (not self propelled)

    The fuse is probably integrated into the removable safety key. If the key is missing, the mower will not run. If the key is present, remove it and check it with an ohmmeter for continuity (zero resistance). The relay coil is 24 Vdc, so it does not operate directly from the 80 volt battery. The...

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    Don’t bother answering a question on the GreenworksTools website that corrects an erroneous answer by the official Greenworks tech staff. They will refuse to post your answer, stating that it did not meet their website guidelines. No foul language, no insults, just a statement that they are...

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    Security Alert Back in March I bought a 60 volt blower from the Greenworks Tools website using my credit card. Approximately two weeks later my card number was used fraudulently on another website, requiring me to cancel the card and go through the tedious process of assigning a new card to...

    New EGO 56 Volt Li-Ion Battery garden tools at Home Depot

    Actually, Lowe's now sells the EGO lawn mowers as well, although you do have to purchase them online. For example >>> https://www.lowes.com/pd/EGO-21-IN-PUSH-MOWER-SELECT-CUT/1003130740 As to why they don't seem to sell that many, it's simply because they cost a lot more than other brands such...

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    I did a search on eBay, and the only thing I could find was the Greenworks 82 volt commercial bare tool for $259. CPO doesn't even carry Greenworks 60 volt tools.

    New Greenworks Pro 60 volt outdoor tools

    So, today I visited the greenworkstools website and discovered that the 60 volt edger is no longer listed. It is also no longer to be found on the Lowe's website. Instead, it has been replaced with a more expensive 80 volt version that is the same price as the 80 volt Kobalt version being sold...

    What is the shelf life for lithium-ion batteries ?

    So, today the seller of the defective battery agreed to issue a refund w/o having to return the battery. Since it was a free return, the seller would incur the return shipping cost and it makes sense not to waste money on something that they could not resell. Since I did not need to return it, I...
