Who sells extra or replacement batteries for these?
Apparently not Amazon, Lowes, HomeDepot, nor Walmart. (Unless their search functions and chat bots have become even more useless than ever). Same at Scotts themselves.
@phendrick
A quick Google search for “Scott’s 20 volt battery” showed up multiple replacement batteries available. Not sure why you’re having trouble finding one.
(I had initially posted a reply offering you some of mine, thinking this was from an old sale, not one from two days ago)!
Makita LXT style that’s popular with cat-sat-on-a-keyboard brands.
Scotts.
Looks like a WORX compatible.
Looks like a DAYI style that’s also popular with cat-sat-on-a-keyboard brands.
Hercules is sold at Harbor Freight.
So Google doesn’t know a whole lot more either. FWIW, the one that is correct says “Brought to you by Montgomery Ward”. Considering it’s $70 (+shipping), is that really viable for a $40 trimmer?
@narfcake
The #1 style is the one I see most often for this type tool (from the CSOAK brands) @phendrick
Given that I can’t imagine the trimmer has already been delivered there’s no real way to know what style battery it’s going to be paired with. Maybe post a picture once you actually get it and we’ll see if we can match it up
@chienfou@narfcake Most of the 1-star reviews i saw (about half of the total reviews) were because of the battery not taking a good charge, sometimes very soon after purchase. That’s why i started looking for some.
Aligning with @narfcake 's take, i decided not to purchase. Would only have sporadic use at best for me, even if battery held up.

@chienfou Honestly, this is the way to go. The tools themselves are usually less the problem; the batteries that are used to be able to meet that price point is the bigger issue. Using a battery shoe that’s common to real brands allows one to use batteries with real numbers.
These are actually pretty handy for trimming around new plants/bushes when you first put them in, in order to keep from damaging the trunks with a weed eater.
I have similar ones I’ve gotten through the Vine program which worked pretty well, but are not nearly as robust as a dedicated hedge trimmer like an 18 or 40 volt Ryobi or some such. For light trimming they work okay.
Many of the Amazon “unknown Chinese brand” of mini (6" hand-held) chainsaw and electric pruners use the same battery format.
What’s included?
Warranty
90 days
Estimated Delivery
Monday, May 19 - Tuesday, May 20
Cordless shrubs? Aren’t they all?
@werehatrack thought that about trees, but apparently you can get those with cords.
