It fits hedge trimmers, grass shears, and pruners that run on the GAM-E 33\/1 Li platform. Capacity is 4000mAh (72Wh), matching the OEM cell specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGAM-E 33\/1 Li platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    These tools share an 18V rail and a common battery bay connector footprint. The BMS in this pack communicates charge state back to the tool's control board using the same handshake protocol as the factory unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through simulated hedge trimmer load profiles — repeated inrush spikes at trigger pull followed by sustained blade resistance. The BMS held the overcurrent threshold without nuisance tripping across all test cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBreak-in procedure for GAM-E 33\/1 Li tools:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run at light cutting load for two full discharge-charge cycles before tackling thick hedgerow. This allows the BMS to profile the motor's inrush current and calibrate its overcurrent trip threshold accurately before you push the tool hard.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBMS cutoff on motor-start inrush in Gardol GAM-E 33\/1 Li tools\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe GAM-E 33\/1 Li motor draws a brief inrush spike the moment the trigger closes — often three to five times the steady running current. A new or cold battery pack that hasn't profiled this device's motor yet can interpret that spike as a fault and cut the output rail. The BMS resets within a few seconds, but if it trips repeatedly on the same trigger pull, the pack needs conditioning cycles. Two light-load discharge cycles recalibrate the overcurrent threshold to match the actual motor signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger not recognising the pack after extended storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion cells stored for more than three months can drop below the charger's minimum acceptance voltage — typically around 2.5V per cell. When this happens, the charger sees the pack as defective and refuses to begin a charge cycle. Place the pack on the charger and leave it for 20–30 minutes regardless — many chargers run a trickle pre-charge at 100mA to recover low cells before switching to normal CC\/CV charging. If the charger still shows a fault after 30 minutes, check the rail voltage at the pack terminals — below 10V across the 18V pack means cell recovery has failed and the pack should be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416016846938,"sku":"BWCS-EHX180PW-1","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416016879706,"sku":"BWCS-EHX180PW-2","price":83.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416016912474,"sku":"BWCS-EHX180PW-3","price":92.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-EHX180PW-1.webp?v=1779759462","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/gardol-gam-e-331-li-replacement-battery-18v-4000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
