A:  Charge 75-85% and store in a cool dry place (over 60% under 90%) 

A:  You need to just call Home Depot online sales & ask them directly. This is an availability question they should answer directly, but instead they've just sent it out to past purchasers to answer, which we would have no clue on the availability! Personally, the 5 AH lasts longer, but I always wait for them to be on sale before purchasing, because regular price is far too expensive. You also need to call to see if you can get some credit for battery dieing after only 2 yrs, because all of my 40v batteries have lasted atleast 7+ yrs.

A:  buy green works 60 volt tools

A:  Hello, Warren - Thank you for your interest in the 40V Lithium-Ion 5.0 Ah Battery. The 2.6 amp hour battery is no longer being made.

A:  Have no idea. All I have is spare 5AH batteries for all my 40V tools I found that size was better on this trimmer, because it counterbalanced to heavy cutter head and of course lasted much longer. 

A:  You can use the one with 5 amps. It just will hold a longer charge.
