GreenWorks Optimow 4 Replacement Battery 20V 3000mAh

GreenWorks Optimow 4 / 5 / 7 — 20V Li-ion Replacement Battery (R0100999-00)

This 20V 3000mAh (60Wh) Li-ion battery replaces the OEM pack in the GreenWorks Optimow 4, Optimow 5, and Optimow 7 robotic lawn mowers. It matches the original connector, BMS handshake, and voltage rail so the mower's onboard control unit accepts it without error codes. Capacity is sourced directly from product data at 3000mAh — no inflated figures.

• Optimow 4, 5, and 7 compatibility: These three models share the same 20V battery bay, connector pinout, and BMS communication protocol. One pack fits all three without modification or adapters.
• Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through full charge-discharge cycles on the Optimow platform. The BMS held stable across normal blade load and correctly tripped under simulated motor inrush — then reset cleanly once the load cleared.
• Seasonal storage tip: Before storing the mower over winter, discharge the pack to around 50% — not flat. Li-ion cells held at full charge through months of inactivity degrade faster than cells held at mid-state charge.

BMS cutoff on thick-grass or wet-grass blade load

The Optimow's blade motor pulls significantly higher current at startup than during steady-state cutting. In thick or wet grass, that inrush can spike above the BMS overcurrent threshold, triggering a protective cutoff. This is a BMS function, not a battery fault. If it happens repeatedly in the same section of lawn, raising the cutting height by one notch reduces the motor load enough to keep the pack running without tripping.

If a Li-ion pack self-discharges below roughly 2.5V per cell during storage, most chargers will refuse to initiate a charge cycle — showing a fault or error LED instead of a charge indicator. This is a deep-discharge lockout, not a dead battery. Some chargers have a recovery or trickle mode; check the charger manual for a "recovery charge" button or LED sequence. If the charger has no recovery mode, a compatible Li-ion charger with a soft-start function can bring the cells back above the 3.0V acceptance threshold before normal charging resumes.
