Adapting 80v Greenworks leafblower to use 82v Greenworks Commercial batteries.

[@Finger112]

Did you get this from Costco? Thats where I got mine from as this blower is exclusive to their site. Greenworks at the minute is selling a renewed product on there website (assuming they got these from previous owners that bought them at Costco).

Exactly...I got mine "renewed" from Greenworks directly. I had never even seen it before, then I realized that, like you said, it was exclusively for Costco. I'm working on a comparison between the Costco blower and the 730 cfm version.

Do the tabs help the battery stay in?

[@reusefull]

No, there's another set of guides parallel to what I removed that help line everything up and then on the flat wider side of the battery, there's a tab that latches it in place. I've have other tools that accept either 80v or 82v Greenworks batteries (snowblower, zero turn, pressure washer) and then I have Greenworks portable winch that isn't even brand specific... no guides, it will take Snapper or Kobalt batteries as well.

Can you use an 80v battery on an 82v tool?

[@ajmedeiros77]

@@hussnour6232I would not do that. Might kill the battery slowly since you’re asking more of it. 82 battery in 80 volt tool is fine if that makes sense
