✅ 40v vs 80v Battery Powered Snow Blower - Which Is Better? - Greenworks

Comparison test of 40v and 80v battery powered Greenworks GMax single stage snow blowers. Difference between 40v 2Ah and 80v 2Ah. Lets put these two tools to the test to see which one I like the most and can they replace my big gasoline snow blower and hand shovel? These have virtually no maintenance; no oil, no gas, no spark plugs or carbs to clog up. The snow blower is 20in wide and 10in deep cutting capability. This video is not sponsored.

The pip is cool. Your video editing skills are increasing!

You need some of those slip on chains for your boots. Happy with the traction

[@NaterTater]

good tip, I think I have some squirreled away somewhere.

[@minigpracing3068]

I wish they made an 80 volt two stage like so many other companies make. We've had out 80 thrower for over 5 years and still seems to work OK. Heavy wet snow and really deep snow is the downfall, taking half a cut helps it work better.

[@NaterTater]

They do. www.greenworkstools.com/products/80v-24-snow-blower-with-2-5-0-ah-batteries-dual-port-rapid-charger?variant=42846901534880&currency=USD&campaign_type=evergreen&funnel_stage=mid&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAkp6tBhB5EiwANTCx1P73-GhsDJVGRLp6wcoNJLG9QeFw5tH-Jr8cnVa0lBuqABYYx-9EmhoC4FIQAvD_BwE

@@NaterTater I'll have to keep my eye out for that, the batteries fit in our mower and the old batteries are starting to get a little tired.

[@AAtta-3286]

Nate totally agree on 80v vs 40v as you proved with the snow blowers. My experience is with battery operated lawnmowers. The 80v comes close to gas powered in mulching and cut. The 40v models bog down in high grass and don't proved a clean mulching cut as do the 80v models. I have the 80v line of Lowes Kobalt models, including the mower, leaf blower and edger which are made in the Green works factories. Wouldn't go back to gas after using these 80v products. Stay warm Lolo Anthony

[@NaterTater]

Thanks Anthony! I mow about 3 acres of grass so i havent been convinced the battery ones will handle that yet. Maybe the commercial ones will but they are really pricey. I'm keeping an eye on it, I would love all my "on property" tools and vehicles to be electric.

[@danielpage8249]

Works ok with with a minimal dry snow cover!

[@NaterTater]

I've had the 40v on clear 10" of wet snow but you have to go slower. 80v hasnt seen that yet but will soon.

[@ajgreen868]

Did you not just see this go through told frozen snow? Lol

[@sumidorpopolf5173]

Очень познавательно, благодарю товарищ.

[@NaterTater]

нет проблем, пожалуйста

[@mwolrich]

What happened with the big heated cab Toolcat machine? I’d use that, lol

[@NaterTater]

😆 I still have the Bobcat Toolcat. Just nice to clear a few feet in front of the buildings otherwise I might accidently plow the garage doors right off the house. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5OVdp1mdqySfKc

[@frankbrowning328]

GREAT TEST!! 1st time to the channel and had to subscribe. My driveway is 150 feet long and 24 feet wide. Is there enough battery to clear a driveway the size of mine with 4-6'' of snow? If you get a big snow fall of 8''-12'' can the machine clear it if you take a 1/2 cut instead of the full width of the blower? Thanks

[@NaterTater]

You might make it with a 5ah battery but I would plan two 4ah for that size drive way. You can clear partial machine width if needed.

[@frankbrowning328]

@@NaterTater Thank you for the reply. I see it comes with a 2ah battery so probably need at least 2 batteries.

[@NaterTater]

@@frankbrowning328 they do sell it bundled with other batteries. I think two 2Ah, one 4Ah or 5Ah.

[@frankbrowning328]

@@NaterTater Thanks, yes I did just see that on Amazon. Thanks again for the help

[@raidernationcali]

Which electric lawnmower do you recommend for an average size front yard and back yard?

[@NaterTater]

Idk what an ave size yard is or if you want a push or riding mower but I would go with an 80v system. This page has several options: amzn.to/3U5899g

[@NickWindham]

Def go with 80V. Gas-like power and faster charging in case your battery runs low.

[@raidernationcali]

@@NickWindham Thanks man. I knew it wasnt a trick question. Thanks again for simple to the point answer.

[@davehenderson6896]

Man that some terrible snow you are going through I would not advise you to use your blowers on that, it could wreck the blades.

[@NaterTater]

someone has to test them!

Wait for light fluffy snow.@@NaterTater

[@danyeo]

I didn’t realize an 80v 2.0ah would have longer run time as the same AH batteries of different Voltage. Interesting.

[@NaterTater]

It won't necessarily. It has more energy (Wh) but they also tend to use more power so run time will vary based on that not just the voltage.

[@ekbuz]

A 2ah 80v battery has double the power of a 2ah 40v battery. Volts * Amps = Power (watts), so if you simply double the voltage, you have double the available power. You need a 4ah 40v battery to have the same capacity. Granted it all depends on what the motor does, but allows it to draw a smaller amperage from the higher voltage to get the same power...or use the same amperage and have "double" the power. Depending on what it does, will affect the actual runtime.

[@NaterTater]

Ah is a measure of capacity, not amps/current as you are treating it. Ah x volts is Wh which is energy. So 40v 2Ah and 80v 2Ah has the same capacity but the 80v one has twice the energy.
