Introduction
The fans in Greenworks Pro 80v battery chargers tend to have issues with failing bearings after a few seasons, leading them to become noisy and move less air than originally intended. Fortunately, the fans are fairly common commodity items, and the replacement of both fans takes less than 5 minutes per charger with the proper tools.
