Bought a Ryobi lightweight leaf blower with P102 18 volt Lithium Ion compact battery. How long can I expect it to last before having to recharge?

It's definatly not the high capacity battery that comes with the leaf blowers it's best for small project with a drill. You will get 5 to 10 minutes in the blower but that's a guess

with our 100 dollar ryobi weed eater, we get between 20 to 30 minutes out of it and then it takes about the same amount of time to charge, you can top them up ahy time it doesnt have to be dead, they dont have a memory, so what we did was went onto amazon and found the exact same battery for 30 some odd dollars and free shipping ,and now we can go continuously by putting one on charger while the other is being used, keep in mind this is a small weed eater, i am sure a skill saw wont get 20 to 30 minutes, if it means anything to you ,we think they did a great job on the light weight and ergomics and the speed we can weed eat, we definatly will continue to buy power equipment that uses these batteries, bob n colleen

I would say one hour then you need to recharge it as it start to wind down but don't use it like you would a commercial blower as that is not what it is for. It is for small areas like a deck, patio, driveway etc. The nice thing about it is that is easy to handle and for women they love it because it is not cumbersome. It's a good but don't hesitate to buy it.

Hi Anne----I don't know how long it lasts;but I do know it's a lot longer than the 18V (no longer available) that I used previously...the battery is still strong after a few weed whacking jobs---I also have this battery in a WORX hedge trimmer---it's got a lot of hours on it!!!! I also bought the quick charger for my 20V batteries.... I'm impressed by how long these last.... Janet

I would leave the battery plugged in for a full 24 hours before first using it. I thought it was charged enough when I first put mine together to try mowing my front yard and I didn't get very far before it died. I charged it for 24 hours and the next evening it worked great and stayed charged for both my front and back yards.

I am unable to determine the model of the battery, because it's soldered in place. This leads me to believe that the battery is rechargeable. Will probably keep time for between 2 and 4 years, that's my best guess.

Frank,I am not familar with the 40 volt Ryobi battery.This one seems to be only for Greenworks.I will tell you that I have used both my sawand hedge trimmer for over and hour and not needed to recharge them.A good product!

the first charge is overnight, after that the recharges are 3-4 hours. usage depends on the equipment being used. My 20v Hedge Trimmer lasts for an hour of cutting time. My 18v weedeater lasts for about 30-45 minutes depending on what I'm doing with it. My 18v pole saw lasts about 35-45 minutes.

Hello, If you got to: http://www.cpooutlets.com/black-and-decker-ncc218-18v-cordless-trimmer-and-sweeper-outdoor-combo-kit/bdknncc218,default,pd.html?start=16&cgid=blowers, the site says that the reconditioned combo is $69.00 and has a 60 day warranty. The new set is $109.00 and has a 2-year limited warranty, but you have to pay for shipping if ordered directly from CPO. On Amazon, search for Black & Decker LCC420 String Trimmer and Sweeper Lithium Ion Combo Kit, 20-volt. This is shown to be the newer model with the 20v Lithium battery. You will get 2 batteries and 1 charger. That set is new and has 2-day free shipping. $99.00 is a great deal seeing that just one of the batteries cost $40 to $50.00. I hope that helps.

I found that the battery is very easy to be taken out and reinstalled. It is nice not having to drag electrical cords around with this leaf blower. It is light and easy to haul around. Not a ton of power but works great for blowing off sidewalks and patios. I hope that helps.

I can't say for sure but I've had mine on a single charge for a couple of months now & use it weekly for about 5 mins for quick pick ups & am amazed that it's still running w/out having to recharge it. I'm very happy with my sweeper.

We use it daily so no down time. I think the key is its a lithium batt. I have a portable drill with a lithium batt, it can sit for a month or so and no waiting to recharge, just go to work. Even though it costs a little more I will only buy tools with lithium power. Just bought another one for our son today on amazonwill be used to blow down around his pool. Hope this helps.

I've had 2 battery's for this blower. One lasted a month, the other lasted 4 months. Makita is known for their AC power tools, apparently not their batteries.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

it's all about the batteries. I purchased the LCC420 not LST. The combo trimmer/blower came with the 3rd generation lithium battery 4020 which stands for 4 amp hrs actual run time 55 mins. Where as the LST400 only has the string trimer and two second generation lithiums 2020 which only last 10-15mins each. I purchased an additional 4020 battery for the combo so when both are fully charge I have 1hr and 45mins of use. Recharge time with the provided charger is 6-8hrs. I am very pleased with the LCC420 combo.

remove battery pack from unit and plug it in the charger that you received with the blower. let it charge for 6 to 8 hours for a full charge. re install into unit and you are ready to go.

I just wait until the blower is not putting out much air and charge it then. I do not leave it plugged in between use, it keeps its charge pretty well between uses.
