Review on Snapper 82V MAX PowerGrip Cordless Leaf Blower 700CFM 4.0 Battery Rapid Charger by Eli Saumell

Received the blower in April. My first purchase of a lithium battery powered blower. Was hopeful for a better alternative to replacing my gas blower.After unboxing and putting battery in charger to fully charge before first use, a flashing red light appeared on the chargerRead all troubleshooting in manual, and it was a bad battery.I called Snapper service, and they concurred it was a battery failure.Told they would replace it and would let me know via email.The next day, I received their email, and it stated the battery was on backorder until mid July!So that would leave me with no blower for 3 1/2 months and burning that warranty time.I decided to return the blower to revain and did so. These are the reasons for my rating.
