1.Is it safe to leave the battery connected to the USB-C charger after it is fully charged?
Our chargers include auto shut-off protection. However, for best performance and safety, we recommend: Unplugging the charger when not in use Disconnecting the battery once it is fully charged This allows the charger to reset properly and helps avoid false-fault indications.
2.Does fast charging affect battery lifespan?
No. Our Greenworks USB-C charging technology manages temperature, voltage, and current to ensure safe, efficient charging that protects long-term battery health.
3.Can the battery be used to charge other devices (power-bank mode)?
Yes. With bi-directional USB-C, supported 24V batteries can power external devices such as phones, tablets, laptops (depending on wattage).
4.Why do batteries cost so much more than the tool?
The battery is the most important component for a battery-operated unit. Please be assured we price our batteries with the cost of material, manufacturing, and current market pricing in mind. Batteries are the costliest items to manufacture and ship in any kit. Full kits including a tool, battery, and charger are priced affordably so that consumers can begin building that line of tools and move forward purchasing tool-only units. When you purchase batteries on their own, it is more notable the cost that they carry.
5.Do all batteries of the same voltage use the same charger?
Yes, they do. Each product line has designated charger models that can charge all batteries in that voltage platform, despite Ah rating.
6.Can I use any Greenworks battery in any Greenworks tool?
Our batteries are interchangeable with tools that are of the same voltage platform only. The difference between batteries of the same voltage is the ampere-hour (Ah) rating. The higher the ampere-hour (Ah) rating on the battery is the more run time it has to offer.
7.My battery is stuck in my tool. How do I get it out?
24V/40V: To remove the battery, press the latch button on the battery pack down and hold. Pull the battery pack out of the handle. The battery pack fits securely into the product to prevent accidental dislodging while in use; it may require a strong pull to remove. Before use, be sure that the rails on the battery and product are free of debris that could cause the battery to get stuck.
