Greenworks launched its Pro 24V POWERALL platform exclusively at Walmart on May 21, 2026 — a significant retail move that also carries good news for shoppers who already own Kobalt 24V outdoor tools.
The backstory: Greenworks has manufactured Kobalt’s 24V outdoor tool line under private label for years. In April, Lowe’s issued a stop sale on all Kobalt 24V and 48V tool kits, pulling inventory without an official recall or explanation. That left a significant number of Kobalt platform owners wondering whether their battery investment was stranded.
Greenworks’ response is effectively: move the platform to a new retailer under their own name.
The POWERALL Platform
The Greenworks Pro 24V POWERALL launch at Walmart includes both a professional-grade line and an expanded consumer assortment. Key specs across the platform:
- Voltage: 24V standard; 48V tools (24V × 2) use the same batteries in tandem
- Charge speed: 80% in 15 minutes with a compatible rapid charger
- Tabless cells: 38% more power under load vs. prior generation, per Greenworks
- Torque improvement: 2× vs. legacy 18V/20V systems, per Greenworks
- Motor type: Brushless throughout the Pro lineup
- Platform breadth: Greenworks claims the widest 24V tool assortment in the industry, spanning OPE, power tools, and cleaning
What This Means for Kobalt 24V Owners
If you already own Kobalt 24V tools, POWERALL batteries at Walmart are built on the same underlying platform — which means they should be physically and electrically compatible with your existing equipment. Greenworks has not issued a formal compatibility statement, so verify on the product page before purchasing. But given that Greenworks is the manufacturer of the Kobalt 24V system, these are the closest replacement batteries currently available anywhere.
For new shoppers who haven’t committed to a 24V ecosystem, the retail landscape is now clear: Ryobi ONE+ 18V at Home Depot, Craftsman V20 at Lowe’s, and Greenworks Pro 24V POWERALL at Walmart. All share batteries within their own ecosystems and compete in roughly the same performance tier for most homeowner and light-pro work.
