What happens here

Continuing the interview with Chad, the discussion elaborates on the battery management system (BMS) in Greenworks' batteries. Chad explains that the BMS ensures consistent performance (e.g., chain speed, RPMs) regardless of the battery's charge level, from full to nearly empty. While battery runtime decreases with charge, the power output remains constant. The presenter clarifies that this means users only experience a loss in runtime, not performance, dispelling the misconception that a partially charged battery is 'wasted' if performance drops.

Goal: Explain how Greenworks' battery management system maintains consistent tool performance regardless of battery charge.

- almost almost a full-on jock okay so I have one last question for you that you said was majorly important to the Greenworks battery platform and that's the output staying consistent throughout the entire lifecycle of the battery can you quickly summarize what that means yeah the battery management system within our packs we control the the performance through the run of the battery so performance chain speed rpms that kind of thing are all the same at full charge half charge down to almost empty it's the same through the run of the batteries so now the battery life cycle is how many times it fills up and then drops back down to zero and you fill it back up and the average battery out there's gonna be at about two thousand cycles correct yeah yeah it depends on the user we the easy kind of especially from a homeowner perspective it's you're looking at probably five years before you would even get close to that 70% initial capacity okay so let's talk about what that 70% of initial capacity means you know at 2,000 cycles you drop down to about 70% capacity of the 100% charge but one of the fallacies that a lot of guys are going well then that's a wasted battery but in reality if you're only charging to 70% but you're getting the same efficiency out of that battery then you're not suffering a loss of performance you're only suffering a loss of runtime and that means you don't necessarily just have to toss this thing out am i right you are so right you should probably do the next four rotations you know exactly all right so that's why it's battery technology where it's at right now is only going to get better and we're gonna see some of the coolest stuff that these guys have to offer absolutely all right let's keep going
