How long does this battery last while cutting grass? 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or more?

I own several GreenWorks tools, and both the 2amp and 4amp batteries. It depends on what tool you are using the battery in. I can mow my entire yard on a 4amp battery. It would probably take two 2amp batteries to do the job. I can trim and blow off the mowed area on one 2amp battery, with some time to spare. The tools that are a bit more power hungery, like a hedger, run through the batteries faster.My best guess is 30-45 minutes on a 2amp battery, but that varies with the tool being used.David

It depends on how deep your grass is, if it is wet (try cutting it when it is dry), etc. I use 2 of these batteries when I cut grass, and I would estimate that the 2 batteries last about 75 to 90 minutes. It is much longer, I think, than a tank of gas. It certainly meets my needs.

Not sure, read the specs. But I can tell you that with a fairly small suburban yard, I had to buy two extra batteries to have a chance of getting the job done in one shot. And they were expensive. This the biggest problem with this product.

The time varies according to how much power is needed to cut the grass. When the grass is short and dry, battery life is longer. When it's long and/or wet, etc., more power is needed to cut through it.

We use it on a Blower. The task itself only lasts 15 minutes. Then we don't need it for another week, and put it on the charger, so we never use it till it runs out.

Not sure. I would guess that means the battery is not being fully recharged. That would explain the lack of battery life. You should be able to edge and trim an average size lawn without a problem.

Johnnie, never ever have had a completely dead battery. After mowing both front and back yard I charge for 24 hours and then take it offthe charger. This battery seems to have a lot more power/storage than my previous one. I've gone 3 weeks between mowings and still have full power between charges.

no problem charging on US electric. the grass catcher stays on very well during use, but comes off with nearly no effort when you need to empty iy. the blades have not gotten stuck on me yet under electric power, but when using as a non powered push mower they do bind up from time to time in thick grass. I have no idea where to get the battery. i did see one here on amazon for $150 (wow). I do need a second battery as the main battery is not enough to cover my whole lawn. i get about 2.3 of it done. i don't know the exact size of my lawn but it is typically about an hour mow from start to finish

Ive had mine for 3 seasons and now into the 4th. Same battery, always charging when not using. Flat lawn about 1/4 acre. Super happy even in wet grass thats a bit tall, you won't plow thru it but it won't be any slower than expected. No obstacles like acorns or branches to contend with either on our lawn. Charge it fully before you first use it, and aviod draining it completely, in fact if possible just use it til half a charge and your battery will last much much longer ( about 25-28 mins). Go get one!

I no longer have my mower, but I did not have a problem with the battery. I tried not to have it charging longer than 24 hrs, but often forgot about it. I had other problems.

I'm pleased with the battery life because when it runs out I'm finished and ready to quit. I can do my all my yard needs on one battery. I'm guessing it runs about 45 minutes full speed.

I have a standard sized yard (0.5 acre lot). I would estimate that I user trimmer 20-30 minutes at a time. I can use it two or three times without having to recharge.

I have both...The 40v battery lasts longer in my experience using a grass trimmer, leaf blower, and hedge trimmer:you get a good 20-25 minutes using grass trimmer; under 20 when using the hedge trimmer; and the leaf blower lasts so long with a 36v that I only exhausted it once before finishing a big job (the 40v lasts longer as I can use it twice without recharging for typical driveway cleanup).

My yard is a pretty decent size (borderline big enough for a riding mower) and the edger/trimmer 24v battery lasts long enough to edge and trim all of my front and back yard...then I usually have to plug it in while I mow the lawn so that I can use the blower when I'm done, but it lasts quite a while and works great. I have used it for the dreaded "first cut" of the year and had no problems with it trimming the taller grass down (roughly 6" in some areas)

Battery charge takes anywhere from 4-5 hours. I've found that I can get quite a few uses on one battery charge with the weed whacker. The blower doesn't last as long...maybe 20 minutes if I'm lucky.

I have a fairly large yard and can do all my trimming on one battery and a small portion of the second batter. I would say that each fully charged battery lasts about 30 minutes. (just a guess)

I have a bunch of black and decker yard tools so I honestly don't know how long it takes to charge (I just grab another battery off the shelf). It lasts about 45 minutes on a charge. Beware of this tool though. I had it for one season and the plastic part that holds the impeller just shattered while in use. Didn't drop it or anything, it just broke apart. Several other reviewers had the same problem and black and decker wouldn't do anything to fix it.

I'm on my 4th summer using this battery. It lasts at least 3 mowing days on my yard. It takes me about 45 minutes to finish.

I have found the battery life to be almost precisely 3 years. Both myself and a neighbor of mine purchased this mower within 1-2 months of eachother and we both had to replace the battery within 1 month of the 3 year anniversary.

On flat driveway and grass around 2 hours. If on hills or more rugged terrain, a little over an hour. If there are a lot of hills, the motor will shut down and cool for a few minutes as a safety measure. It lasts long enough my son has never run the battery completely out at one time and that works well for me.

Takes about 2-4 hours to charge. I trim the fence of my half acre and other landscaping on a full charge.
