Kobalt 80V leaf blower battery life

Danno99 · Mar 23, 2021

Hey all,
I have the above leaf blower and the battery life for me is about 20 minutes

I have a second battery so I get a total of about 40 minutes. I have a decent size lawn with a lot of trees bordering it. This is just not enough battery life for me to get the job done. I'd have to have like 2 chargers and 5 batteries to get a day of leaf blowing, which is what I need.
How do you all do it?

Ive got a Ryobi 18v blower and 6 4ah batteries, so Ive got plenty of battery. I only use my blower for places where the mower cant get. I usually just bag up leaves with the mower or just get out the rake.
Moving air takes a lot of energy and when you have an 80v tool, no battery is going to last long in it. 80v is a lot of energy.

That's about the same amount of runtime I get with my Ego blower when used in Turbo mode, and they are considered a leader in the market. Unfortunately I think that's just the nature of battery powered blowers.
