About this replacement
GreenWorks Cordless Leaf Blower & Outdoor Power Tools — 60V Li-ion Replacement Battery
This listing covers a 60V 5000mAh (300Wh) lithium-ion replacement battery for GreenWorks 60V cordless outdoor power tools, including the GD60AB leaf blower, GD60LT string trimmer, and compatible chainsaws. It replaces part numbers LB602, 2918307, G60B2, G60B4, and LB605. The 60V rail and physical connector match the GreenWorks 60V interchangeable battery platform directly.
- 60V platform compatibility: All listed models share the same 60V battery rail, connector, and BMS handshake — one battery fits the full range without adapters.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran full charge/discharge cycles — the BMS held voltage stable under load and triggered the low-voltage cutoff cleanly without hard shutdowns.
- First charge after storage: If the battery arrives partially discharged from transit, run a full charge cycle before the first use — Li-ion cells settle to accurate state-of-charge reporting after that initial cycle.
Why 300Wh matters on a brushless blower motor
The GD60AB uses a brushless DigiPro motor that draws hard during the turbo function — the spike load is significant compared to standard airflow mode. A 300Wh pack at 60V gives the BMS more headroom to sustain those peak draws without stepping down voltage early. Brushless motors are also more sensitive to voltage sag than brushed equivalents, so pack capacity directly affects how the blower performs late in the discharge curve.
Battery not detected by the tool — what causes it and how to fix it
If the tool shows no response after seating the battery, the most common cause is an incomplete BMS handshake at the communication pin. Remove the battery, wait ten seconds, and reseat it firmly until the latch clicks. If that fails, place the battery on the charger first — some GreenWorks chargers reset the BMS communication state before the tool will recognise a new pack.
