Greenworks Commercial has never had a 60 volt battery line. They use 82 volt batteries that are unique to their brand. Also, there are significant differences between many of the tools. For example, the new X-Range 21" push mower has a dual battery compartment with auto switchover, whereas the...

Amazon has now dropped their price on the Greenworks 16" mower to match Walmart at $238. https://www.amazon.com/GreenWorks-25322-Mower-Battery-Included/dp/B00BBQVL5U/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=greenworks+bl80l01&qid=1627748172&s=lawn-garden&sr=1-2

I just picked up the 700 CFM handheld blower tool only, and am using it with an existing 4 Ah battery that I had been using in my lawn mower until I recently obtained a newly introduced 8 Ah X-range battery. The weight with the battery and shoulder strap is a hefty 10.3 lbs, so the shoulder...

Well it looks like Greenworks has downrated their X-Range backpack blower from 760 CFM to 710 CFM. https://www.greenworkstools.com/x-range-60v-cordless-backpack-blower-tool-only-2420902t But, it is still one of the most powerful cordless blowers.

Again, Walmart has the best price on this mower...

It has the same crappy height adjustment system. There is no lever like on other models. Instead you have to push down on a button which has a very stiff spring, which at the same time lifting the mower to select the height. There is a crude position indicator (see little red post) that is...

I have the GW 40V 19" steel deck mower with a brushless motor and it weighs 46 lbs, which is 3.5 lbs heavier than the TF. The blade is actually only 17.5" long, so the cutting path is 1.5" less than the TF. Disadvantages of this model is that only the top portion of the handlebar folds flat, so...

Sorry to hear that your Twin Force is falling apart, but I'd definitely recommend that you do NOT buy the 17" model. It is positively awful in so many ways. The height adjustment system is a nightmare, very difficult to use and it's maximum adjustment height is only 3-1/8", which is 1/4" less...

Update on the 8 Ah battery. I just finished mowing my entire lawn with my Greenworks 60 volt 21" push mower, and I used only about half of the battery's capacity. My lawn is about .15 acre, so I'd estimate that I could mow up to 1/4 acre on a single charge. I have equipped my mower with an...

I just received the 8 Ah battery, which I bought for my 21" single battery port lawn mower that was unable to mow my entire lawn with the 6 Ah battery. This new battery is one inch longer than the lower capacity batteries, but fits easily in the battery compartment with an inch to spare for the...

Another link that suggests that 60 volt riding mowers are coming:

Greenworks has introduced a new heavy duty lineup of 60 volt OPE that they have named X-Range. These tools have durable magnesium housings and other features to make them suitable for hard commercial use. They also have a new lineup of batteries that can connect to smartphones via Bluetooth to...

I was referring to choices among the brands listed by the OP, but yes, there are other brands that sell dedicated edgers. As to warranty, Greenworks 60V and 80V has recently improved to 4 years on both tools and batteries, so the Greenworks battery warranty is now longer than Kobalt.

I just love trolls. :rolleyes:

Today I discovered that my 1800 psi Karcher pressure washer uses a gun that appears to be identical to the one that was recalled by Greenworks. I was already using the longer 25' pressure hose that came with the Greenworks 1800 psi pressure washer with the Karcher, which comes with a pressure...

Amen.

Well, first of all, what type of tools are you wanting to buy. If it’s a lawn mower, then Milwaukee doesn’t make them. Toro is the only brand that makes a dedicated blade edger. I know from experience that Dewalt is good quality, but a bit more expensive. If you want something that is...

I think you are correct regarding dual voltage batteries, and I think this is the first case of 40/80 volt. Dewalt sells a dual voltage battery line, but it is 20/60 volt.

The deck design on battery powered (cordless) electric mowers is the same as gas powered mowers, so I don’t think this issue has anything to do with the type of power a mower uses. Since I don’t cut my grass shorter than 2 inches and don’t bag my clippings, I can’t comment on this issue.

Same thing. I am talking about the application and you are talking about the principle of operation. https://www.electronics-tutorials.ws/electromagnetism/hall-effect.html "One of the main uses of magnetic sensors is in automotive systems for the sensing of position, distance and speed." They...

A Hall effect sensor is NOT a heat sensor. It's a magnetic sensor designed to detect position and movement, such as what is used in home alarm systems to detect opening of windows and doors.

Are you aware that the EGO mower you are looking at does not include a battery and charger, and that you need to pay another $100 to get one that includes them ? Certainly the EGO will run longer than 20 minutes on a fully charged battery, so it will work, but they are very pricey IMO. I would...

It looks like Kobalt is taking control of the 80 volt tool market, since Greenworks has not made any advances in their 80 volt products for years now. Instead, they are focusing on their 60 volt tools. As to Lowe's dropping Kobalt, that is simply impossible since Kobalt is truly their house...

https://www.cpsc.gov/Recalls/2021/one-million-greenworks-and-powerworks-pressure-washer-spray-guns-recalled-due-to-impact https://www.greenworkstools.com/product-recall I own two of the affected Greenworks pressure washer models that are affected by this recall, a GPW1600 and a GPW1800. I...

Often times those battery Ah ratings are grossly exaggerated, and should be taken with a grain of salt. Many times the cells that are used are substandard quality, or rejects from the manufacturing of name brand batteries.

It is probably the cheap aftermarket battery that is the culprit here. Often times, the voltage drops too much under load even when the battery is only half discharged, causing the tool to shut off. I'd recommend sticking with the genuine OEM battery, even though it will be more expensive. You...

Most likely you will be able to use a different capacity battery with the same brand and voltage. Sometimes there are different generations of batteries that are incompatible, but as long as you purchase a battery from the same model line you should be ok.

Well, the CFM wars continue, as Greenworks introduces a new 60 volt handheld blower rated at 700 CFM and 170 MPH maximum output. This exceeds by 50 CFM the previous king of the hill blower from EGO. Like the EGO, the 700 CFM blower is kitted with a larger 5 Ah battery, and comes with two nozzle...

So, I reordered the 60 volt 6 Amp rapid charger, plugged it into my AC outlet and it immediately alarmed my computer UPS, indicating a significant voltage drop in my house circuit. Didn't actually trip the breaker and was only momentary, but this beast pulls some serious power when first plugged...

It's now $19.99 !

Are you sure that it's this specific dual blade model, since it was just recently introduced ?

Ryobi has joined the dual blade bandwagon that was started by EGO with their Select Cut line of lawn mowers. Ryobi calls theirs Cross Cut, and it's featured on their 21" self-propelled lawn mower with SMART TREK Adaptive Variable Speed. It has dual battery ports, which are switched manually with...

Well, I never received my order for the rapid charger. It shipped via UPS, but then was placed on shipping delay due to severe weather, and that's where it has stayed for a week now. The last update was a week ago, so it is probably lost. I've just gotten Home Depot to refund my payment and...

Greenworks' new second generation 60 volt lawn mowers have precisely that, a turbo button that can force the mower into high speed operation as long as the turbo button is depressed. https://www.greenworkstools.com/pro-60v-brushless-21-inch-self-propelled-lawn-mower

Batteries are rated based on capacity, which affects runtime, not power. So, a 6 Ah battery will provide more than double the runtime of a 2.5 Ah battery. The problem with using a lower capacity battery is that it will provide a very short runtime, such that you will need a lot of them to...

So, today I did an inventory of all the different batteries and chargers that I'm currently using in my OPE. This doesn't include shop or indoor tools such as cordless drills and vacuum cleaners. The grand total is 21, with 20 being Li-Ion and one NiMH. The last time I bought an OPE with a new...

So, Jonsered took this product line off the market over a year ago, but batteries are still available for very low prices, so I bought a larger 5.2 Ah battery to extend the run time. The stock 2.6 Ah battery will only run in boost range for five minutes, after which it drops out of boost into...

There are a few interesting new EGO products: First, they are finally actually selling their long rumored 10 Ah Godzilla battery for $449 at Lowe's. EGO claims that it will fit all their 56 volt tools, so I guess that it will fit in the lawn mower compartments, despite it's larger dimensions...

Today's news is not about another 60 volt tool, but rather a series of new single and dual port rapid chargers. When Greenworks first introduced their 60 volt lineup, the largest capacity battery was 4 Ah, and it took two hours to recharge it with the standard 2 A charger. They have since...

The price has just dropped further to $24.39. Since I already own one plus one each of the standard GMAX and Elite 2.2 A chargers, I won't be buying another. Over the last several years I've switched my attention to the Greenworks 60 volt lineup, and that's where I've been spending my money.

Your pump is leaking oil, which means that it will eventually fail due to lack of lubrication. These are sealed units, so there is no way to add oil. So, basically, you need to return it to Greenworks for repair or replacement.

I think the individual 10 Ah batteries cost $450 to $500, and you need a minimum of two to power the mower. It comes with four batteries and has room to install up to six. Assuming a five year lifespan, this works out to $400 / year to replace four batteries every five years

So, we now know where the new EGO 56 volt 10 Ah batteries will be used, since they are too large to fit in the current walk-behind mowers. It will be interesting to see how much this will cost, since the current offerings from Greenworks and others are priced in the stratosphere. Assuming each...

That is a 2nd generation (GMAX) Greenworks 40 volt li-ion battery. The 1st generation has a silver side panel and doesn’t say GMAX.

Nope. The OP bought the battery at Lowe’s, so there’s no chance it was anything other than a genuine Kobalt OEM battery. Also, the OP noted that the battery worked properly in another Kobalt 40 volt tool. Besides, I’ve never seen any aftermarket equivalents to the Kobalt 40 volt batteries.

I seriously doubt this. All the batteries in a given series should be the same such that they are interchangeable in all tools that use that battery. Regardless of how the battery is wired internally, the terminal assignments should be the same. However, it is remotely possible that there are...

It sounds like there's something wrong with the mower's circuit board.

I assume those are SLA (sealed lead acid) batteries. Some of those older lawn mowers have dumb chargers that can overcharge the batteries if left connected too long. Although your batteries showed a high initial voltage, if they were damaged due to overcharging, they would not hold a charge and...

Well, that's because they use the same size case for all their different capacities. The larger capacity 60 volt batteries have twice as many cells, so the smaller ones fill only half of the case. The newer 40 volt Elite batteries are also made that way, with a single size case for all their...

So, now Greenworks has introduced another 120 volt AC/DC hybrid tool that uses two of their 60 volt batteries connected in series. This time it's a wet/dry vacuum that looks a lot like my old ShopVac from the distant past. I've decided to try one out, but I'm buying it this time from Lowe's...
