Yeah. I have a newer Kobalt blower that takes the new batteries compared to the mower we got in like 2014 and it does not perform as well. We intentionally avoided Kobalt for that reason. Plus the blower seems to eat away at charge if you store the batteries in the blower. I now store all batteries loose to prevent draining. Wonder if my experience is related. Do you store the batteries loose or in the mower/blower/weed eater?

I charge them up and then keep them on a shelf in the basement. During the winter, I don’t top them off.
Pretty sure the only thing the manual said was to not store them in the charger.
Hm. No idea then. Well at least you found a workaround.
