EGO batteries are super expensive but the tools they feed are by far the best. All the battery-electric lawn tool makers claim "gas-like power"; EGO delivers. I got into the EGO ecosystem after giving up on my Ryobi mower. I still use Ryobi for hand tools (and I am a satisfied buyer/collector) but for lawn/garden - EGO rules. I need a larger lot so I can justify the zero-turn, that thing is a must get item

I purchased my ego lawnmower just three days ago, so everything here is first impression. The product is well made, easy to use, and stores in a small space. I cringed when I dropped the battery! But it survived with no issue. Make sure you adjust the self-propel control down. At the highest level, it wants to take of at high speed! lol!

I just got the Ego pole saw. It is nice and light and has a LOT of power for the weight. I've used my neighbor's gas-powered pole saw and it's as powerful as that one seems to be, but it's more convenient than either that or my old electric saw with the cord. I am thinking I'll get the weed-trimmer attachment by springtime, maybe the chainsaw also. The products seem strong. My sister has the weed-blower and family says it is VERY powerful.

Old ‘Barnaby baby,’ what a dude, pitching his heart out for Ego/ Chervon/ Flex! I actually like Burnaby, from the days of that Tool test channel he used to host. I hate to admit it, but Ive done the research, and EGO looking alright?! I recently tried out the new 40 Volt Ryobi Whisper Series 730 CFM blower, that came with two 4.0 Ah batteries. Batteries run down too quickly, and they’re real slick, easy to drop, and too big to carry the extra one in a pocket! Blower is really good, and on Turbo, really moves the air. It just deserves better batteries! The Cruise control switch is lousy design. Ima picking up a 765 CFM EGO at my local Lowe’s. Peace

Have had 2 batteries since 2014. Still going! I slow charge mine almost every time and store batteries inside the last few years. I never keep going after the light turns red.

How do I store mine and why do my new ones smell sort of like sweet chemical while charging?? I'm scared of it. 😞😦 I don't know if it's okay and im a girl and new to all of this but just bought the EGO snowblower

i have 3 batteries for ego lawn mower, blower, when i charge them they have a burning smell and if i sniff the charger without the battery and not plugged in it has that same burning smell, the ego lawn mower lasts about 15 minutes and the 615 blower lasts around 10 minutes tops

I have 6 of these batteries and they all died at the same time. So, I have all these tools that I can’t use right now. I’ve been debating whether or not to replace the batteries or to just move on to different tools.

I cannot find any information on whether these are LFP or NMC. This information should be readily available, IMO.

You got Anderson Cooper to demo the riding mower? Nice.

How does the 3 year warranty work? How do you know which generation of the battery you have? Here in 2022 I just picked up the 2021 weed wacker w/ the adjustable aluminum shaft.

Just be sure to register your purchases for the warranty. My Ego battery would not charge a year after having the mower. Called the warranty department. They mailed a new battery.

interesting, never knew that about batteries

Can't believe he just threw that across the room👍👍. But I'm glad because now I'm ok if I accidentally drop my battery ill know it will be ok.

Hello. My 1st gen blower quit working but the battery is still green circle. Will this 1st gen battery work on a newer blower? To add a second battery basically. The EGO LB4800 I believe is the model I have.

I had to sell and give away my EGO chainsaw, mower and line trimmer at a very significant loss because I had three separate battery failures within a year, including a replacement battery under warranty. My wonderful local hardware store told me EGO Australia was not very consultative so as more of my 3rd Generation batteries failed, they actually gave me two of the 2nd Generation batteries from their own stock, as EGO was not very helpful with customer replacements. I was told a number of customers were having similar problems to me with the 3rd Generation batteries. Typically they would flash red and not run or charge properly. I ended up donating my line trimmer to a community garden club and selling my mower and chainsaw cheaply. I love the EGO equipment and can hardly fault it but the batteries are too expensive and unreliable and customer service is not good, in Australia. I've moved to Ozito brand and the quality of their mowers and chainsaws and batteries have been superb. In many years of using battery equipment, the only brand batteries that have failed me, are the EGO ones. PS: I sold/donated my EGO equipment with 2nd Gen batteries, the ones using the Duracell branded internal cells. I think the 3rd Gen use Samsung.

I've been using this battery hard, I'll pay for the research tone if it's done right. I know a thing about power storage and super-capacitors. This one has good cutoff and temp charge delay, kinda about like spektrum batteries are, if used right, they keep things safe. I'll let ya'll know in a year how long this one will last since it's only a 2.5 ah battery.

I have a leaf blower which is great, and I use it twice a month in the fall, I purchased it about 4 years ago. However the batteries seem to be rubbish, and expensive, and my 2nd battery has just died, searching the web - it seems the battery is not very reliable, I will be looking for a better quality product.

I just ran the EGO weed wacker after I got it earlier today. The battery out of the box was in the RED so I fully charged it. Now I've run the battery down one notch, four green lights remaining. I want to use it hard tomorrow. Is it OK to fully charge it even though it's 80% charged or should I run it all the way until the red light comes on?

Questions not addressed but would have been helpful: 1. What is the useful life of the battery? It seems many batteries are replaced at the 2 to 3-year mark. Would have liked this addressed. 2. What is the best way to get the full life of the battery? Charging, use, and storage "best practices" for these batteries. 3. What faults are 'fatal' and which are fixable and how to do this? 4. Many have mentioned heat issues caused by heavy use or outside temps while mowing. How to solve this? 5. Finally, what improvements, if any, have been made to extend the useful life of these $$$$ batteries?

I haven't had any problems with greenworks batteries for the last 8 years

If I have to store mine over a long winter should I keep it on the charger so it goes into maintenance mode or manually charge it? If manually how often?

I had a very good experience at first. Before the batteries failed in less than 3 years. But the warranty replacement batteries lasted less than a year. I had 2 since I purchased 2 tools and the batteries failed at about the same time. One of the replacement batteries lasted less than 8 months, the other lasted about 10 months. Just enough time to get past the warranty period. New batteries are over $150 each. I could buy new tools cheaper. Probably gas tools this time because they are clearly better for the environment since they last longer and don't require toxic Lithium to be mined with fossil fuels and then left in a landfill. It is my opinion that these tools are both a poor choice for performance and longevity but also a poor choice for "going green". I would strongly advice someone to avoid these products.

Please tell me what the button on the back is used for

I have an Ego mower, string trimmer, hedge trimmer, snow blower, chain saw and 3 batteries. I regret buying all of them, their warranty dept is horrendous and wouldn't help me with a leaf blower (I ended up getting a craftsman) and all 3 batteries have now taken a dump. To replace all 3 im looking at nearly $700 or even more to get larger capacity ones. I think im going to phase myself back to gasoline options.

If you all don't get the battery prices under control over the long run people will walk away. Great products but they cost way to much to replace.

My ego battery died out after 3 1/2 years of running, bought a new battery, and within 2 weeks my charger quit on me, shelled the cash out to replace both, but long term, I will probably go with a Stihl trimmer

OMG--That's "Barnaby" from my hometown (Grand Rapids, MI) Wood TV 8!

I have a red light on my charger and it says that the battery could be too hot or too cold.

I was charging my battery and blew the breaker half way through the charge. Now the battery won't charge more than half way. Is there a fix or am I just S.O.L. ?

Anyone can tell me why their chargers are making so much noise when charging a battery or is this normal that we have to live with it?

EGO tools are well made and high quality. However after 2-3 years their batteries start to trip overheat protection faster. I had to warrenty all of their batteries. Now I am concerned about what I am going to to do in 1-2 more years when these replacement batteries start to exhibit the same early trip of overheat again.

What cell they use on 4, 5, 10, 12Ah batteries ??

My EGO battery charges and then when I plug it into the EGO leaf blower it runs for a minute and stops. Does this mean the battery is longer useful? Is there an EGO battery exchange program?

Can you replace a 42 deck with a 54 deck

Just had two of their batteries die in sequence after 3 years total use. As they are so expensive I think I’ll go back to petrol lawn mower

Commercial operators are experiencing substantial battery fail rates after a few months usage in the real world. Sydney, Australia.

Went to my local Ace… they had no clue about Ego. They had never heard of the brand and told me they don’t carry it.

My luck I'll end up buying the battery he threw across the floor.

after 2 years the batteries run only 10 miutes

Sales promo. No trouble shooting.

I have 3 of Ego batteries and all of them are worthless after 2-3 years of use, maybe 20 times a year tops.

How long should the new Lithium 10 MaH battery last in my little 56V 21" mower. $500 plus tax better give me 3 hours run time. Haha.

EGO in Australia are just well below par for battery quality and service. I moved to Ozito and have not had one issue with my seven batteries that are much cheaper. I have eight Ozito tools and two Ryobi tools and five Ryobi batteries. The Ryobi batteries still going strong since 2017. EGO batteries are hit and miss. Poor quality and too heavy and expensive. My three EGO batteries didn't make one year. I wouldn't use EGO ever again, even if I was given them for free. Too many red lights flashing on my batteries, sometimes after ten minutes of use. Never had issues with Ozito or Ryobi. I've done multiple reviews on all three brands. The 36V (2×18V) 14 inch chainsaws are amazing. So good in fact, I bought a second one. Same with the 36V mower. Just great. And of I ever do have an issue, Bunnings Australia are great with returns. EGO are very poor with warranty and service. Even my local hardware store that sells EGO says the company is difficult to deal with.

What you need to know about E-GO batteries is they have TERRIBLE heat sensitivity and no longevity. 3 of my 4 have failed after 1 season. (I tried to use them as pro. Bad idea) and I actually had a customer service operator hang up on me when I said I hadn’t registered the batteries. (That was when the first one died) another one fallowed each week. I have one 2.5 left. So I can work for 10minutes between one hour recharges!🤗 oh, joy

WARNING! If you keep these in your house or garage-they can be a house fire starter. I am now going back to plug in and gas tools. That battery can be more dangerous than a gas can! If we can go to a battery that doesn’t contain lithium or other alkali metal then we can get somewhere.

Nothing but problems with the batteries. Once they go out of warranty, look out because the 10ah battery is $500 and the 5.0 ah is $250 a piece. At that point it’s almost better to buy a new power tool because the battery purchase is about the same cost at the tool w the batteries. Ugh

Better to buy the tool with a battery than trying to buy just the battery. Batteries are far to expensive! You price them out of many peoples range.

I bought and returned ego blower and trimmer. Batteries suck.

It suck that all you need to know

what a load of bullshit , I have a 56 volt ego chain saw , and the battery fucked up , now what , they all fuck up , so what I have to buy a new $250 battery now , or I will just sell it like it is

Dudes laugh in the red is so fake 😆

Bought a ego leaf blower and the batter only charged twice and now isn’t charging anymore. pos product

EGOs battery program seems like a scam! Mine just quit working right after the warranty ran out. Works like new for the first 3 years....then whammo. Their costumer support wishes you best of luck after the 3rd year! Insanely expensive to replace. Super disappointed in their business model!

Never explained what 2.5 or 10.0 MAH meant.

Try buying a different brand

garbages last 2 yr or less….

EGO has the worst customer service help line I have ever experienced. Stay away from EGO products.

EGO IS #1 IN GARBAGE BATTERIES..... Ive had 8 die right around when the warranty ran up as of now, EGOS customer service is 1000% hot garbage just like their batteries. Every time I left a review on their website they deleted it, no wonder why they have all 5* reviews. Do yourself a favor and buy anything else.

These batteries SUCK! Mine lasted a little over 1 year in a blower. Way to expensive to replace. Going back to gasoline.

ego power is. scam

EGO is shit.

There is so much bullshit MISINFORMATION in this video. A 10.0 battery will absolutely put out WAY more power than a 2.5. While a 10.0 does have more runtime, it ALSO gives you more power.

Crap batteries. Grossly overated products.

These batteries do not work good, you can only charge them a few times and they stop charging. They also run down fast . This company dies not replace the batteries. So you are stuck with an expensive battery that does not work.

EGO BATTERY ONLY WORKS 20 MIN. AND STOP WORK, AND THEN TAKE HOUR AND 20 IN. TO CHARGE, INFORMATION OUT THE BOX SAYS THE BATTERY WORKS FOR MORE THAN 90 MIN FULLY CHARGED AND IT IS NO TRUE, THIS IT IS A FRAUD ,I THINKA LOT IS SAYD THATTHEY ARE VERY GOOD TOOLS IS NOT .

Those batteries are a big ripoff they last nothing and they are so expensive ridiculous
