I recently picked up a leaf blower and I've been trying to use my old 4Ah XR batteries with it. While these batteries work fine for my other tools, they don't seem to handle the blower well. The power drops significantly after about 30 seconds, and they last only around 4-5 minutes.
Can anyone recommend a better battery for this blower? It's clear that the 4Ah isn't cutting it. Thanks!

I highly recommend either the FlexVolt 6Ah or the 9Ah. Personally, I use the 9Ah and it gives me 10-15 minutes of good power. Also, if there’s a Bomgaars nearby, they have the 9Ah on sale for $99, plus a deal where you can get $50 off if you spend $200 today!
I switched to a 6Ah FlexVolt battery and it worked wonders! I was able to run it for a solid 20 minutes without any drop in power. Definitely worth trying out!
That's impressive! I might have to grab one and see how it performs for me. I'm wondering if my old 4Ah batteries could just be worn out after a lot of use.
