Battery capacity: 48 Wh · Chemistry: li-ion
The 24V lithium-ion battery powering your cordless grass shears is engineered to deliver consistent cutting performance across multiple trimming sessions, making it ideal for the frequent touch-ups that maintain garden edges and borders. Unlike older battery chemistries, li-ion technology ensures minimal memory effect, so you can charge your battery whenever convenient without degrading its long-term capacity—whether after a quick 15-minute edging job or before tackling a larger landscape project. This flexibility encourages regular maintenance charging, helping you keep your shears ready for spontaneous garden work without the worry of diminishing returns over time.
Proper storage of your 24V battery between growing seasons is just as important as regular charging during active use. Store the battery in a cool, dry location away from extreme temperatures, and consider giving it a maintenance charge every few months if the shears remain unused for extended periods; lithium-ion cells maintain their health best when neither fully drained nor constantly at maximum charge. When charging, always use the dedicated charger supplied with your shears, as it's calibrated specifically for this battery's chemistry and voltage profile, protecting both the cells and your device from compatibility issues that could reduce performance or create safety hazards.
With the fastest charger listed here (Fast charger, 70W) it takes about 58 min. With the slowest (Trickle charger, 15W) it takes about 4 h 31 min. Cordless grass shears are lightweight trimming tools designed for detailed edge work and finishing touches in gardens.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does it take to charge a Cordless Grass Shears Battery (24V, 2Ah)?
- From 0% to 100% with the standard 40W charger, it takes about 1 h 42 min. Using a faster charger shortens that; using a weaker one extends it, see the table above for exact numbers.
- Can I charge the 24V battery even if it still has remaining charge, or do I need to let it fully deplete first?
- Unlike older nickel-cadmium batteries, your lithium-ion pack has no memory effect, meaning you can safely recharge it at any point during its discharge cycle. In fact, partial charging between uses is actually beneficial for longevity—topping up the battery after each trimming session keeps the cells in an ideal state of health and ensures your cordless shears are always ready for the next garden task without unnecessary stress on the chemistry.
- My battery seems to lose power faster in cold weather. Is something wrong with it?
- This is normal behavior for lithium-ion batteries in cooler temperatures; the chemical reactions that generate power slow down temporarily in cold conditions, which may reduce runtime during winter months or early-morning garden work. The good news is that this is a temporary performance dip, not permanent damage—once the battery warms up or you move to a warmer season, your shears will return to their expected cutting endurance. Storing your battery indoors at room temperature between uses helps maintain optimal performance year-round.
- How is this charge time calculated?
- We divide the energy needed (48 Wh times the percentage you're charging) by the charger's effective power, which is the charger's wattage times the battery chemistry's real-world charging efficiency (85% for Lithium-ion (Li-ion / Li-Po)). The same formula powers both this page and our API.
