Review on Snapper XD Cordless Electric Tools Battery: Briggs & Stratton 82V MAX 2.0 Lithium-Ion by Brian Nicholas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

First review of the 4Ah pack

I bought the 4Ah battery; I already have the leaf blower and a 2Ah pack it came with. I didn't think about it before I bought this, but it is a) heavier, and b) longer than the 2Ah. It still locks into place into the leaf blower because, if you look closely, the plastic catch on the pack is about half the way down the pack, while on the 2Ah pack the catch is about 3/4ths way to the end. The weight and balance is not so good with the leaf blower. It leans backwards when held by the handle, and it has a longer rear-end. So, tradeoffs. The plus side is it lasts a lot longer before needing a charge. Also, I feel it is easier on the batteries when spending a lot of time on the top speed to have the 4Ah pack (I'll be discharging them at half the rate vs the ones used in the 2Ah pack). Blowing leaves I don't spend much time at top speed, but blowing dust in a parking lot structure I spend all the time at top speed.I paid a lot less, as I got it from Warehouse Deals, otherwise I'd probably not get it just for the leaf blower. Seems its best match, considering the weight, is for the lawn mower. It's going to be kind of heavy to use with the hedge trimmer or the weed wacker.

Pros
  • 1 Lithium Ion batteries required. (included)
Cons
  • The battery may need to be replaced after only a few uses
