Greenworks. Two blowers. Chainsaw, 4th chain, new bar. Weed whacker 4th season, never clean. Really good stuff. Strong and we beat the heck out it.
I have a varied set of batteries. The only sketchy battery is a cheap knock off (50% of rated Ah) - but point is EXPENSIVE for OEM.
As mentioned elsewhere, we've been working between HARD rains........wife was was string trimming along the beds and such. Welp, she takes out the discharged battery and leaves it on patio table.........got rained on pretty good, this was a couple nights back. I found it the following morning. She thought I would be angry. Silly girl, I don't get angry about such things. Sure it bugs me a bit, but never do I get angry at her about things.
I can hear water inside. So turn, turn, turn........no more water inside.
Anyway 80V 2A, ~$150. Made in 2021.
I do the AI chat bot at Greenworks. Useless.
I do the human online chat with Coreen. She just tells me warranty is void and good luck drying it. I told her I'm not a liar and if it dies, we are responsible. But zero tips on drying.
Call 800 number and do the call back thing see if they have tips.
So I start the serious drying process. Fan. Low heater. Blowing. Turning. Sun light. All day.
Call back comes in. Real guy. Fernando. He says, yes can dry. Should be OK/ Warranty still in place and will help if dead. He says, large bowl of rice! These bats are not tiny. 25# sack of rice......hahahahaha in a 5 gal bucket. Oh boy - but he said keep doing what I'm doing.
So yesterday AM the battery accepts a full charge. Seems dry. I used it exclusively. Near empty, full recharge. Use. Seems just fine! I have labeled it as being wet as of April 29 2024. Charged again just now.
Greenworks rocks.
