SKIL PWR CORE 40V 4.0Ah Lithium Battery, BY8708C-01

My old 2.5 amp battery just didn't last long. This battery allows me to cut larger limbs and last much longer.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This battery is incredible. From dead to fully charged took about one hour. There is a built in fan that runs while charging and while using to prevent overheating. What a game changer. I’ve been using the same size battery for lawn care and typically need to recharge between projects. Not with this one! I was able to complete two hours or more of work and the battery never came close to being half drained. I love that this brand fits so many of its different products. I’ll be upgrading for sure purely due to this battery life.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We used this product for the edges and tall grass on the sides of the yard. As a parent I love that it has a safety lock when the battery is on. My previous one didn’t have that. We had to be cautious if we used it we always made sure to take the battery off. It is heavier and sturdy. The battery lasts for hours after being charged. It also has a fan that helps cool the battery to prevent overheating. I had my husband use it as well and he loved it. He loves how easy it cut the edges, and it wasn’t loud.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Skil 40v lithium battery trimmer is easy to operate. The battery lasts for a while too. The battery seemed to last 45 minutes at least and recharged quickly too. The size is larger for a small woman, but I got the job done! Will continue to use this product & hope to expand my Skil collection.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been great! We have had this for a few weeks now and haven’t had to recharge it yet. Honestly the biggest issue we have with it, it’s so LOUD when you charge it. We plugged it in the get a full charge and for a few hours we heard a loud fan sound that could not be ignored.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love that the battery recharges quickly (compared to other brands and sizes that I own). It held a charge for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on how intensely I was using it, so I was super excited that I didn't have to stop what I was doing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This powerful and long lasting battery has been central to powering my spring lawn care. With a universal battery system, this battery works on many different products making for an easy one system set of products that I can rely on. The battery has easily lasted me well over an hour of consistent work which is plenty enough for what I need. It also charges quickly for quick return to service once it does eventually run out of charge.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this battery complimentary to review. To test the battery, I used it on a string trimmer to weed eat my yard. Overall it was a decent battery. The charging station was a bit loud during charging and I would have liked the charge to have lasted a little longer. I was able to just barely do my whole front and back yard on a single charge. It started to lose its effectiveness towards the end. For reference I have about a quarter acre of land to maintain with a good portion of that needing edging around landscaping fixtures. It attached easily enough to the battery stand and trimmer and handled well on the trimmer. I like that it is interchangeable with other tool options s as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The SKIL 40v Lithium battery has excellent performance and battery life. It lasted approximately 35 mins on level 2 (high) mode, which was plenty of time to get my yard job completed. It also charged quickly, quality built battery. I love how it’s also interchangeable between the other SKIL tools, like a leaf blower or trimmer. I fully expect this to last a long time and be durable for my yard jobs.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried a SKIL weed cutter (string trimmer) and overall it’s a solid option for basic yard work. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, which makes trimming around edges, sidewalks, and tight areas much more comfortable. The cordless design is really convenient—no dealing with cables, just grab and go. The cutting power is good for regular grass and light weeds, and features like auto line feed and adjustable handle make it easier to use. It’s not the most powerful option for very thick or overgrown areas, but for everyday maintenance, it gets the job done well. Overall, it’s a practical and affordable tool if you want something simple, efficient, and easy to use for keeping your yard clean.
