I need a replacement screw for attaching the dethatching/scarifier blades. Can you tell me the correct size and where to purchase it? Thanks

How long does a fully charged 4.0AH battery last on a Wen battery operated dethathatcher before needing a recharge and also how long does it take to charge the batteries with the included dual port charger. Thank You
