Do Sun Joe cordless pruners include batteries and chargers? It depends on the exact model and kit configuration. The pruner kits listed below include the battery and charger specified on their official product pages. A model marked CT / Tool Only does not include either accessory.
Sun Joe offers both 20V ECOSHARP X20 and 24V IONMAX pruning products. Their batteries and chargers must not be treated as interchangeable.
Important: The X20 ECOSHARP pruner is explicitly not compatible with 24V IONMAX batteries or chargers. Check your exact model and battery system before purchasing replacements.

How to Charge Your Pruner Battery
-
Identify the Battery System
Check whether the pruner uses 20V ECOSHARP X20 or 24V IONMAX. Do not mix the systems.
-
Remove the Battery
Turn the tool off and remove its removable battery before charging, following the instructions for your exact model.
-
Check the Charger
Use only the charger specified for that battery. Inspect the battery, cord and charger for damage; do not use damaged equipment.
-
Connect and Charge
Follow the battery and charger connection procedure in the applicable manual. Charge in a dry location and follow the manual's temperature and indicator guidance.
-
Disconnect and Reinstall
After charging is complete, disconnect the charger as instructed and install the battery securely before operating the pruner.
Charger Safety
- Use only the battery and charger designated for the model.
- Do not use a damaged or modified battery pack.
- Keep batteries and chargers away from moisture and rain.
- Keep battery terminals away from loose metal objects.
- Remove the battery before adjustments, cleaning, blade handling, or maintenance.
- Do not force a charger connector into an incompatible battery.
20V ECOSHARP vs. 24V IONMAX
The X20-PRU-2A is part of the 20V ECOSHARP system and includes a 2.0 Ah battery and a 20V charger. The official product page explicitly excludes compatibility with 24V IONMAX batteries and chargers.
The listed 24V pruners belong to the 24V IONMAX system. Match the exact battery and charger to the model manual; a CT configuration requires separate battery and charger purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the X20 cordless pruner include a battery and charger?
Yes. The X20-PRU-2A kit includes a 20V ECOSHARP 2.0 Ah lithium-ion battery and 20V charger.
Can I use a 24V IONMAX battery in the X20 pruner?
No. The official X20 product page states that its 20V ECOSHARP system is not compatible with 24V IONMAX batteries or chargers.
How long does the X20 battery take to charge?
The X20-PRU-2A product page specifies a maximum charge time of 3 hours 30 minutes.
Does the 24V-LRPL2-CT include a battery and charger?
No. CT means Tool Only. Use the manual-identified 24VBAT-LTE 24V 2.0 Ah battery and the recommended 24VCHRG-QC replacement charger. Both are sold separately. The manual's approximately 5-hour charge time applies to the original XZ2600-0450 charger, not necessarily to 24VCHRG-QC.
Do all 24V pruner kits have the same charging time?
No single charging time should be applied to all kits. Check the specific model and charger information in the product page and operator’s manual.
Can I use a different battery capacity?
Use only capacities and battery models designated as compatible with the exact tool in its operator’s manual. Do not assume compatibility based only on voltage.
