Got a couple of the 2100 chargers I n my trailer. A fat LiFePO4 and pure sine wave inverter to charge them during the day. This setup gave me the flexibility to use the Milwaukee mower and Ego for most everything else. Leaf season I am doing a lot of blowing, early spring I am doing a lot of mowing. And the same trailer battery recharges both. Also it was easy to add solar to my trailer using off the shelf components. I didn't need the EGO solar charger adapter.

Watts, the true measure of power output. Volt, amps, are important, but what does it add up to? Here is a real comparison of some of the larger power tool battery packs on the market: EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 2.5Ah Battery - 140 watt-hours Milwaukee M18 12.0Ah HO Battery - 216 watt-hours Milwaukee MX Fuel CP203 - 216 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 4.0Ah Battery - 224 watt-hours Skilsaw TrueHVL 48V 5.0 Ah Battery - 240 watt-hours Dewalt Flexvolt 20v?60V Max 15.0 Ah Battery - 270 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 5.0Ah Battery - 280 watt-hours Flex 24V 12.0Ah Battery - 288 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 7.5Ah Battery - 420 watt-hours Milwaukee MX Fuel XC406 - 432 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 10.0Ah Battery - 560 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56-Volt 12.0Ah Battery - 672 watt-hours Ryobi 80V 10 Ah Battery - 800 watt-hours Stihl AR-3000L Battery - 1,148 watt-hours EGO ARC Lithium 56 Volt 28.0 Ah Backpack Battery - 1,568 watt-hours As you can see, the EGO batteries are some of the highest power capacity you can get. Impressive stuff.

HH battery tools are great for a quick job. But if we’re doing trimming and mowing all day w batteries, were gonna end up running out of juice before the next ones topped off. I don’t see going to all batteries anytime soon. I’ll wait until they are more commonplace and ALL the kinks are worked out before I go switching everything to battery only. We currently do supplement quite a bit w stihl battery equipment. But there is just no way current battery technology can cover our use cases entirely. Just isn’t happening.

I think with the right investment you would be able to. Depending on the part of the country you live, a solar panel or two put on the top of the trailer would charge something like a jackery battery pack, that could be recharging the spare batteries when you are in the field. I switched to electric a while ago and love the instant start and stop, no gas/fumes, significantly less noise and no maintenance. Of course there are situations where gas is going to dominate but for residential use, even commercial residential use battery is where it's at IMHO.

So, you can charge the batteries in your trailer overnight while you are sleeping (up to 96 batteries) and the ego line is designed to work great in both extreme heat and extreme cold (from Florida to California), but you want to bring your batteries inside of an ambient temperature room to prevent them from wearing down? Is that right?

Does everyone know that all EGO batteries have a hibernation mode? If a battery sits idle for 30 days, it goes into a self discharge mode. With Gen 3, the light flashes RED until the battery has discharged itself to a 60 percent range. This protects the battery from deteriorating over time. Great tech. Not sure if any other brand does this?

l was an early adopter of EGO tools. We use our 9 or 10 EGO tools primarily on the 6 acre landscaping surrounding our farm house. Generally, they are more reliable and easier to maintain than alternative gas-driven tools. We have found EGO tools to be well-designed and durable. Their battery systems, however, are another matter. When building-in the cost of operation, expect the batteries to last no longer than 3 years; often only 2 years. This can be an issue considering their cost. Moreover, about 1/3 of the chargers have failed. Net net, we find EGO tools to be of value, but with higher than expected operating cost.

i regret to inform you, but as a landscaper id hate the day i have to have multiple hundred dollar batteries in the already exposed truck, and the fact that if they run out well i guess im quitting for the day, the flexibility of gas is to much to be replaced anytime soon, where electric equipment comes in handy is for you're own house or if you're a property manager of some place, they aint bad if there only ever going to be the same place also there good for job sites that may require a weed wacker or maybe a blower, that is also where the power tool brand stuff comes in handy, but landscaping is to much of an ever changing environment to rely on something so finite, a weed wacker in the hands of a pro can knock a contract in a fraction of a fraction of the time that it would take for a newbie or even a moderate user to do.

I think it would be so cool if you could make a Tesla Power Wall type configuration with all your EGO batteries with this daisy chain charger. Imagine having a giant wall of batteries in your basement charging off peak and/or over solar and being able to run your house off them if need be and then when you need to do some yard work pull off a few batteries from the power wall and go to town.

Thats one way to sell a boat load of batteries. Why cant they just make a 12V charger and not just 110/240V chargers. I'm in the Ego ecosystem for my home and love it but am thinking about moving to electric for my work but I don't like that I have to have a tonne of batteries or run inverters for the chargers for "on the run" charging from my car/solar setup. I have 2x 10Ahr and 2X 5Ahr which are more than enough for the kit I've got if I charge them after use. But if I had to do this battery wall and charge at the end of a day, I would probably need 20-30 batteries... that's just ridicules.

@@robertthompson3447 Yeah I'm already going down the Inverter road. I find that the 4 batteries do fine for more or less continuous use. The 2 5Ahrs run the blower and snipper perfectly fine and the 2 10Ahrs run the chainsaw and mower fine. The only time I come unstuck with that layout is if I've got a lawn with thick long grass to which I may need to use a 5Ahr just to make the difference in charge times. Where I might really come unstuck is when I add a ZTR.

@@VCGConstruction well charging on 240V would either double the charging speed or double the number of batteries being charged at the same time. One single 700W fast charger is half the capacity of an standard outlet. Most 240V circuits are 30-50A and can support much higher loads then a 15A 120V plug. The company I would for has 8-10 work crews, going electric would mean charging 30-40 batteries daily, on a 120V outlet that not be possible. Most shops already have 240V wiring for a welder, air compressors, heaters, etc. Only makes sense to use that capacity to charge a large number of tool batteries, charging from a higher voltage is also more efficient, so it would cost less in the long run.

I have found the ego batteries are not nearly as durable as Milwaukee batteries and not resistant to water. They’re also super expensive to replace you might as well buy a new tool kit if you need to get a new battery. This makes them not ideal for a professional landscaping crew.
