That little red piece might be some sort of latch that you can press to release it.

Yes, it is a 12 volt SLA battery that is rechargeable. Any 12 volt charger with SAE leads should work. If the battery will not take a charge, you will need to replace it. You may have a hard time finding a new OEM battery, but should be able to adapt a standard 12 volt 5 Ah battery, which is the...

Eleven years ago, this was my stable of lawn mowers: The Husky gasser on the right has since been gifted to one of my friend's adult sons, the little WORX on the left was gifted to my next door neighbor for his five year old son so that he could help daddy mow the lawn, the silver 90+ pound...

Yes, any Ryobi 40 volt battery will work, provided it fits in the battery compartment.

Sounds like a switch has gone bad somewhere. Either that, or a loose / bad connection.

The charger should not continue to charge the battery if it is already showing that it is fully charged per the indicator lights. What it means is that the battery is weak, and not properly holding a charge. So, it looks like the battery is a dud, and you should be able to replace it under warranty.

It could be a weak battery. As soon as the trimmer shuts off, push the button on the battery to see if still shows that all the LEDs are lit. If it doesn't, then that's the problem. How old is the battery and how many times has it been charged ?

I just saw this review (not mine) on the Greenworks website: "Great cleaning power, far away from an outlet! I've had the 2000psi/1.2GPM plug-in pressure cleaner (GPW2006) for a few years and it has served me well. This year, though, a car accident on our property left a mess that needed a...

For the first time someone has offered a cordless electric pressure washer with performance to rival the corded electric models. In fact this new model from Greenworks has the same performance specifications as its top of the line corded electric model with a maximum pressure of 3000 psi and a...

You will not find any cordless electric walk behind mowers that will last 35 years, and none that will mow 3/4 of an acre on a single charge. The mower itself could last over ten years if it has a brushless motor, but the batteries probably will not and are the big cost component of the mower.

No, polarity reversal at an AC power outlet will not affect the operation of a connected appliance, it will just pose a shock or fire hazard.

The problem is that a weak battery may show a normal no load voltage, but as soon as a load is put on it the voltage will drop to the point that the tool will stop operating. Your symptoms really sound like a weak battery, and it should still be under warranty, so I'd suggest taking it back to...

Could be a weak battery.

The warranty on the Greenworks 80v battery and charger is 4 years, so the "goodwill measure" is total bs. Report those bastards to the BBB.

You have to press the green test button to activate the USB charging and Bluetooth functions.

Well, you would need to ask EGO if it would fit properly, but your EGO model mower is not listed by EGO as being compatible with the Select Cut blade sets. Just because you can mount them doesn't mean they will necessarily fit properly in the deck. The Select Cut decks might be deeper to...

Supposedly, you can scan the code on the battery to download an App that will let you communicate with the battery to see its status or even disable/lock it so that if someone steals your battery they won't be able to use it. Seems like a lot of useless mumbo jumbo to me, and I've never tried to...

They are made by Hong Kong based TTI (Techtronic Industries), same group that makes Ryobi, Craftsman, Milwaukee, Ridgid, Green Machine and Homelite. You can find reviews on the WalMart website.

The EGO and Greenworks batteries are less than 10 lbs apiece. The Ryobi batteries are a suitcase style, but I don't think they weigh more than 20 lbs.

Many of them have removable Li-Ion batteries, including those from EGO, Greenworks and Ryobi.

Definitely sounds like a weak battery that is basically dead. It's not uncommon for a weak battery to appear to be fully charged without a load on it, but then when a load is applied the voltage drops dramatically, such that the charge indicator lights show that the battery is nearly discharged...

No. Lithium Ion batteries should not be exposed to temperatures below -20 degrees C, which is -4 degrees F. You will damage them.

Look on it from the bright side, at least they haven't let your credit card get stolen. :LOL:

This forum needs better moderation. There's too much trolling and hijacking going on here. It's simply rude to hijack someone's thread and change the subject completely. If y'all want to start another thread about the flammability of Li-Ion batteries, then go for it, and get the hell out of this...

Just for the benefit of the trolls trying to derail this thread, the lawn mowers being discussed here use SLA batteries and NOT Li-Ion batteries. Not surprisingly, none of the problems being discussed involve fire. I personally feel sorry for the poor souls that have been the victims of the...

Sounds like a bad switch somewhere, but could also be a bad connection. If it were me, I would just return it to Lowe's for a refund.

Yes, they should fit just fine. They will equalize to the same voltage as the other batteries and provide about 20% more current than the 10 Ah batteries. So, all batteries will discharge at the same rate, and become discharged at the same time.

So you thought cordless electric chainsaws were just toys ?

I would start doing continuity checks to see if any wires or connectors are damaged and have become open circuits. Also, there may be inline fuses that are blown.

Like I said, it's all about charging cycles. If you use them a lot, they won't last as long as if you use them infrequently. Apple promises that their cellphone batteries will last about 500 full charge cycles before their capacity will drop below 80%. For most people who are constantly using...

This has been debated ad nauseum. Battery powered tools, especially large tools are more expensive than gasoline powered or even corded electric tools. People like myself buy them for other advantages, such as ease of maintenance, safety, quiet and clean operation, and ease of use. As to the...

Well, the deck on the 54" model is made from 10 gauge steel, which is quite robust, and the mower weighs nearly 800 lbs so it's not exactly lightweight construction. As to quality, well Ryobi is not exactly the best, but their warranty is 5 years on both the mower and the 80 volt batteries...

Ryobi is jumping on the lithium-ion battery ZTR riding mower bandwagon with 30", 42" and 54" cut models. They all use an innovative single joystick control that they call iDrive instead of the traditional lap bars. Although they use a proprietary 80 volt suitcase battery, they can also use their...

Until now this style of edger could only be found in gas or corded electric models. Anyone who's used a cordless electric stick edger knows how fatiguing it is to hold up the handle with the added weight of the battery. Then, there's the constant wear on the blade as it contacts the concrete...

I would not recommend buying directly from Greenworks. I had my credit card stolen on their website back in 2020. See post #48 of this thread >>> https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/threads/new-greenworks-pro-60-volt-outdoor-tools.41300/page-5#post-380051

The simple answer is no, you should not run a DC motor above its rated voltage. Will it explode and kill you, no of course not. It will simply overheat and die. You might have a 10% safe overvoltage, which would get you to 22 Vdc, but you are proposing a 20% increase, which is too much IMO...

Kobalt is made by the same company (Sun) that also makes Greenworks, which do sell replacement parts, so there's a possibility that you can find an equivalent Greenworks model. As to the "blowout diagram", the closest you can hope for is an exploded view of the parts, but you won't find assembly...

So, does it look like this ? Make sure the upper handlebar is fully pulled out and the latches are fully closed. There are some switches in there that need to be closed before the mower will operate. If it still won't run, there could be a problem with the switches not closing or some other...

So, are you pushing and holding the start button on the handlebar before you pull back the bail bar ? If the self-propel works then it is not a battery problem. Can you state the specific model of your mower ?

Did you try greenworks.ordertree.com ? I have the first generation 16" mower that uses the first generation 40 volt battery, but I think the deck is the same as the second generation that uses the G-MAX battery. The part number for the mulch plug is 34104470, and when I enter it into the search...

The CFM wars continue and EGO is again king of the hill with its latest 765 CFM handheld blower. Previously, their most powerful blower produced 650 CFM, but they were overtaken by a 700 CFM model from Greenworks. The new EGO blower generates a maximum velocity of 195 MPH and a maximum blowing...

I just checked the Greenworks Commercial website, and they appear to have an 82 volt 42" ZTR that is nearly identical to the 60 volt ZTR shown in the previous post and at the same $4999.99 price, which they advertise as a residential mower...

There have been hints for awhile that Greenworks would be introducing a family of riding lawn mowers based on their 60 volt lithium-ion battery line. Well, they are finally here, a conventional 42" riding mower and a 42" Zero Turn riding mower...

Sounds like the same design team that was used on the Space Shuttle.

So, have you received them yet ? Looks like they are in stock now, and the price has dropped to $20 each.

There is no industry standard, per se. Manufacturers are all over the place when it comes to battery voltage ratings. For example, I have a Jonsered (Husqvarna) 58V max 2.6Ah battery that is also labelled as 131Wh, which works out to about 50.4V nominal. So, per Jonsered, the nominal voltage is...

It's been awhile since Greenworks introduced any new 80 volt products, but they have finally caught up with their 60 volt lawn mower lineup with a new dual battery port self-propelled lawn mower that has an automatic switchover. The battery compartment looks like the new 60 volt X-Range design...

Looks like a connector for a bridge rectifier. Regardless, something is definitely missing.

Looks like you bought them out >>> https://greenworks.ordertree.com/heavy-duty-blade.html

The pole hedge trimmer shown in that video is the Greenworks Commercial version, NOT the X-Range, which is a completely different design. The X-Range has a top mount motor with a driveshaft, whereas the Commercial has the motor attached directly to the trimmer.
