Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

GreenWorks 40V Chainsaw & Pole Saw — 40V Li-ion Replacement Battery
A 40V, 5000mAh (200Wh) lithium-ion battery built to fit GreenWorks 40V outdoor power equipment, including the 12" Chainsaw and 8" Cordless Pole Saw. Replaces part numbers GWG40B2 and GWG40B4. Slots into the same 40V platform that powers over 75 GreenWorks tools.
- Broad 40V platform compatibility: GreenWorks standardized the connector, voltage rail, and BMS handshake across the 40V lineup, so one battery covers chainsaws, pole saws, and dozens of other tools sharing the same platform.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran full charge/discharge cycles — the BMS held voltage steady under cutting load and tripped cleanly at the low-voltage cutoff without dropping the tool mid-cut.
- First charge after storage: If the battery has been sitting, run a full charge before first use — Li-ion cells partially discharged in storage need one complete cycle to recalibrate capacity reporting on the charger.
Why capacity matters on a chainsaw pulling sustained load
Chainsaws draw hard, uneven current — especially through knots or dense limbs. A 5000mAh cell pack handles those current spikes without the BMS tripping an overcurrent fault. Smaller capacity packs on the same voltage can shut the tool down mid-cut when load spikes. The 200Wh total energy rating here gives the BMS more headroom to manage those peaks.
Battery not recognized by the charger — here's why
GreenWorks 40V chargers handshake with the battery's BMS before starting a charge cycle. If the charger flashes an error and won't start, the cells may have discharged below the BMS recovery threshold during shipping. Connect the battery for 30 seconds, disconnect, then reconnect — this wakes the protection circuit and allows the charger to establish communication and begin charging normally.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Greenworks chainsaw cuts fine for a few branches then suddenly dies mid-cut — why does it keep shutting off?
That's thermal cutoff triggering under sustained load — the battery's BMS is detecting a temperature spike and disconnecting to protect the cells. It happens most often when the chain is dull or the bar oil is low, because both force the motor to work harder and pull more current through the pack. Let the battery cool for 15 minutes off the saw, then check your chain tension and oil reservoir before restarting. If it trips again within the first few cuts, put a multimeter on the pack terminals at rest — a healthy 40V Li-ion should read between 40V and 42V; anything under 36V means the cells are degraded and can't sustain high-draw loads.
I put this replacement battery in my Greenworks chainsaw and the chain is spinning slower than it did with the old pack — is something wrong with it?
Voltage sag under load is the most likely cause — a new pack that hasn't been cycled yet, or one that shipped partially discharged, will sag harder than a conditioned pack when the saw bites into wood. Charge the battery fully, run it through two complete discharge-and-charge cycles, and test again on a real cut, not just the trigger at idle. If the chain speed still feels weak compared to your original pack, check that the battery is fully seated and the terminal contact pins are clean and making solid contact. A resting voltage below 40V before you even start cutting confirms the pack didn't arrive with a full charge.
The Greenworks charger shows solid green but my chainsaw barely has any power — did I get a bad battery?
The charger reads the pack as "full" based on voltage alone, but if the cells have low capacity or unbalanced cells, the pack can hit terminal voltage quickly without actually storing a full charge. We see this on bench tests when a replacement pack hasn't been properly formation-charged at the factory — it measures correct voltage but collapses under chainsaw-level current draw. Top-charge the battery, let it sit 10 minutes off the charger, and measure the open-circuit voltage at the terminals — it should hold steady between 41V and 42V. If it reads correctly but the saw still bogs on the first cut, run one full deep discharge cycle and recharge completely before drawing any conclusions.
