It fits cordless hedge trimmers and leaf blowers sharing the same 40V battery rail, including the 24-inch brushless hedge trimmer and the 40V 460CFM leaf blower. Part numbers BY8705-00 and BY8708C-01 identify the correct fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePWRCore 40 platform compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Models across this line share a common 40V connector and BMS handshake, so one battery pack serves hedge trimmers and leaf blowers without adapter hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ran full charge\/discharge cycles — the BMS held voltage under load and released cleanly at the low-voltage cutoff without triggering false protection shutdowns.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle conditioning for Li-ion packs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Charge fully before first use and avoid storing the pack below 20% — lithium-ion cells in outdoor tool batteries degrade faster when left deeply discharged between seasons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy 120Wh matters on a brushless 40V hedge trimmer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eBrushless motors draw current in bursts, especially when the 24-inch blade hits dense branches at or near the 3\/4-inch cutting capacity. A higher watt-hour rating means the pack sustains voltage under those spike loads rather than sagging mid-cut. At 120Wh, this pack sits at the practical threshold for sustained brushless operation without thermal rollback cutting in prematurely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBattery not recognized by the trimmer or blower — here's the fix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eIf the tool shows no power after seating the pack, the BMS communication contacts are likely not making full contact. Remove the pack, wipe the gold contacts on both the battery and tool with a dry cloth, then reseat firmly until the latch clicks. If the tool still won't start, charge the pack to 100% first — some PWRCore 40 tools reject packs that arrive below a minimum charge threshold from storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43175806206042,"sku":"BWCS-SKB200PW-1","price":101.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43175806238810,"sku":"BWCS-SKB200PW-2","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43175806271578,"sku":"BWCS-SKB200PW-3","price":132.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-SKB200PW_1.webp?v=1775236276","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/skil-24-inch-40v-hedge-trimmer-replacement-battery-40v-3000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
