This I do not know. I threw my word away that that that battery replacement. I ordered on line ,like you but the battery never held the charge. I had 3 batteries,none ever held the charge. So I replaced with the new Worx.And now I use the 24 volt Max Lithium battery. Read the instructions on the stuff, or go on line and ask it it can replace that battery. Sorry

If you register your worx product through their website you received free prewound trimmer cartridges for LIFE. It's totally worth registering it!!!! It also registers your product for the 3yr limited warranty... which also covers your batteries if they by chance start losing charge, or whatever else...

I have 2 batteries for use on my drill and hedge trimmer. Thy are now about 1 year old and have never had a problem. It is important that you do not leave batteries discharged for long periods. When I use the battery, I put it on charge immediately. A charged battery will store fine, a discharged battery will not. If you did not leave the battery discharged, I would suggest that there is a problem with the charger and, since the battery will need to be charged quickly, I would also suggest that you need to do something about this quickly.

I didnt like my worx trimmer because in order to get a nice clean edge you had to stay in one place too long then the trimmer would need to be recharged before I could finish the yard, and I dont have a large yard. The features sound good, the way you can position it and it is light weght. I ended up buying another trimmer from Sears. I was not happy with the worx trimmer. It is now a fixture in my garage.

Mine worked 3 months last year. I went to start it this year in May and the battery is shot. I finally got in touch with WORX and paid $28.00 shipment for a replacement battery and charger. The charger here and I'm still waiting for the replacement battery.I'm paying $30.00 a week to have my lawn cut weekly and have a $350.00 lawn mower that don't work with a new charger. I would find another brand of electric lawnmower if I were you. Good luck Dave

I've had my trimmer for only a short time so the batteries are very new. You have one of two problems. Most likely the battery is not accepting a charge and has reached it's useful life. The second problem could be the charger itself. If you don't have a voltmeter, take it to any Radio Shack or good hardware store and have the output voltage checked. It should be near or over 24 volts. I hope this helps.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser! Worx had the two models of lithium trimmers on their website a couple days ago complete with downloadable instruction manuals, etc. etc. Finally had time today to delve into it and was going to download everything and decide on which model to buy and make purchase on Amazon. Today the only trimmer on the Worx website is the old Ni-Cad model. No mention or info on the lithium ion models! Called the Worx number and was told that there is a 45 minute wait for customer service!! Don't have a good feeling about this. By the way, Neuton will have a Li-ion trimmer available in a few weeks.

It comes with two 40 V Lithium Ion Batteries. They are not G batteries. Don't know if the Motor is brushless. Perhaps you should consider the single blade G mower because the availability of batteries in the future might be more assured.The upside of those old batteries is that I bought a new one recently to supplement my original 2 and it was a lot cheaper. I have the non G 19 " and have been very pleased with it. No problems whatsoever over the last two years.

I pay the extra and only use Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries, which provide much longer life than other batteries that I've tried. Rechargeables are hopeless. The suggestion about trying other batteries is a good one, and if that doesn't change anything, I think you do need to deal with customer support, either by phone or by e-mail.

it comes with a charger, but you should buy another battery. The life isnt super long. their are 2 versions of the worx gt....1 has place to put the wheel in the flat position alogn with the edge way. the other only has edge only spot to move wheel. I got one of each style for my father in law and my father. this is how i know what is what. with wheels in flat you can just push it like a mower. its not heavy to begin with. I would suggest having some type of blower as well to get the grass off the sidewalk/driveway. the worx one is adequate but its not super strong either and that has same battery as trimmer and its own charger. so that might be soemthing that interests you.

It comes with one battery that would only hold a 3 minute charge & I received no satisfaction from the Worx company. I threw it in the trash & bought a 40 volt unit from the big box store. There was nothing about theWorx unit that I liked. I agree with another responder that it is only for light use.

may be interested in your Worx, please send me the details i.e. usage, condition, price, age. You posting is confusing - is it one used and one new battery?Assume it is the LI-ion model?rsnodgress@hotmail.com

I have two B&D; 40V lithium-ion batteries, one for this product and a second one, which I received with a B&D; 40V Max Lithium Trimmer/Edger, Model LST136. The problem in answering your question is that I don't remember which battery came with which product. They have different capacities, but can be used interchangeably. I see there is a response to your question for this product, which is one of the two batteries I have. The other battery, which then probably came with the trimmer, is a B&D; LBXR2036, Type 4, 72 Wh battery, which would make sense since a trimmer would probably need more running time than a vacuum.

My experience was the same, after a couple of months of use , the battery also went dead and will not charge, not sure if it is the battery or the charger, not sure where you brought this from, you could call Worx to found out, Worx prroducts has the worse quality there is, check out the reviews at amazon, most people who owns a worx grass trimmer have their battery goes bad in a couple of months, I am like other, I was fool by their commercial, I will never buy their products again, and I want to let every one know, don't waste your hard earn money on any worx products.

Melanie, truthfully I don't know. Purchased this along with the blower. So now I have two batteries in case I'm trying and I need a recharge. These are a tad heavier than regular electric trimmers, but can trim without hesitation in a rainy environment and don't have to get out cord. Depending on your use, I would expect 2-3 years out of them. Don't know for sure, threw all paperwork away. I use them all the time on hollies and regular hedge and have been well pleased with their positives as I mentioned before. Much better than the old Black and Decker cordless I used to have. Hope this helps. Dr. Speck
