I just got the Dual battery M18 leaf blower, but I realized I have different sizes of M18 batteries. I'm curious if I can use these varying sizes together. I have three different M18 batteries and couldn't find much info online about this. Can anyone shed some light on whether I can mix them?

I had a similar issue with my M18 tools. I returned my leaf blower since it didn’t meet my expectations. But I used my two smaller batteries during a test, and surprisingly, it worked quite well! Just be ready for the blower to stop when your smallest battery runs out.
Yes, you can mix different M18 battery sizes, but keep in mind that they run in series. This means that if you use a large capacity battery like a 12Ah alongside a smaller one such as a 2Ah, once the 2Ah battery dies, your blower will stop working, even if the larger one still has charge left. So basically, the blower will stop once the smallest battery is drained.
