What can I do to get more battery run time on the 20v

@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP 2 года назад

@@Rogerwayne96 three things that helps me 1) run it in low speed mode 2) move yourself faster so you aren’t wasting time on the throttle that isn’t cutting 3) get a bigger capacity battery How that helps a bit

What battery’s are best ?

@TOOLMANTIMSWORKSHOP 2 года назад

The bigger the better depending on your budget. The best weight to price I like are the 5ah 20v amzn.to/3aHrkBu or the 6ah 60v flex volt batteries amzn.to/3oepaMI

@someonespadre Год назад

This is good news because the T35 is readily available. I’ve run my Husqvarna 40v in hard service for 5 years, the head finally failed, trying to get a new one (that one is right hand thread T25B). I bought this DeWalt, overall it’s okay but like you say the head is cheap crap, the DeWalt string is more durable than their head. I broke it after 30 minutes. DeWalt says don’t touch the ground, how are you supposed to bump it? Bought a new one ($34) but came here looking for a universal replacement next time I break it. Husqvarna actually understands that hitting hard things hidden in the grass is unavoidable but their smooth disk just bounces off with almost no damage. The DeWalt head has protrusions of brittle plastic which break if you inadvertently hit something hard.

@someonespadre Год назад

Ironically I can walk into Lowes and buy the Husqvarna T35 head for my DeWalt trimmer (sold at Home Depot and Ace where I got mine) but I can’t get the head I need for my Husqvarna 40v trimmer.

@JDMasonFX Год назад

Right, as promised I've done exactly what you said and, though it's a bit late I'm here! If you own a DeWalt trimmer, buy the Husqvarna trimmer head one as shown in this vid by Tim. It is literally light years better than the one DeWalt provides and removal / attachment is as easy as he says it is. 5 stars.

Hey Tim, thanks so much for the information. I have a Dewalt 20v trimmer and I lost the spring in the line head and of course, Dewalt doesn't sell just that spring, they want you to buy the whole head. I never liked the design anyway so I decided to take your suggestion and replace the whole thing with the Husqvarna T-35 head. Thank a Bunch!!

I replaced the battery thinking it was just the battery and it ran for about another 5 minutes then died again and would not restart. The next day it started again and I've been just running it on low. I'm guessing it just overheated. Pretty pathetic when you consider how lightly I was using it. My $30 black and decker junk trimmer is far more capable but I was getting sick of the cord and thought the dewalt would be an "upgrade". How wrong I was.
