Possible Causes

Aged lithium-ion battery pack, Increased friction in drive or blade motor, Cold ambient temperatures, Battery not fully charging due to charger fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn OFF the mower before inspecting mechanical parts.

  • Check battery age: If the battery is several seasons old, it may have naturally lost capacity and require replacement.
  • Inspect for drag: Ensure wheels and blade disc spin freely without resistance.
  • Charge fully: Leave the mower on the station overnight and verify that it indicates a full charge.
  • Operate in moderate temperatures: Battery performance drops in cold weather; schedule mowing during warmer parts of the day.

If runtime remains very short, replace the battery pack with a Greenworks-approved replacement.
