Battery life

I understand that it is recommended to charge the tool with the charger that comes with the tool and also to avoid using the rapid charger if possible to maximize battery life.

I have the string trimmer that comes with a 2.5 Ah battery and a rapid charger. Can I safely charge the 2.5 Ah battery on the charger that came with the mower rather than the rapid charger?.. or would that be asking for problems?

400W Inverter

Amazon is selling the 400W inverter with charger and a 4.0 battery for $230. Is this a good deal? I'm just joined the Ego family with a string trimmer and it came with a 5.0 battery.

Why did I start this

Started out just getting a blower and a string trimmer and ended up here. Glad my wife is ok with me buying stuff. Even if she wasn’t I would still end up where I am going all in on Ego.

In near future likely will replace my Ryobi hedge trimmer and need some kind of shop vac.

Been using an Edge 830 for about 5 years now and it’s been solid, but I’ve been thinking about upgrading lately. Just noticed the 1050 is going for $599, which seems like a decent drop. Is it actually a noticeable upgrade in real use? Would you say it’s worth it at this price?

String trimmer 2017 issues

Model # St1500sf from may 2017 no longer runs. The 7.5ah battery is just as old so I'm not sure which is the problem..the battery is light green while this happens. Does anyone know how I can find out if it's the battery or the tool itself I need to replace? I wish I knew someone with a new battery just so I could test it and see if that remedies it..

Replacing string trimmer head

I have the string trimmer version that you have to hand crank to reload the string. I think they came out with the power feed about 3 months after I bought mine. I saw at my local Ace that they sell just the power loader head. A couple questions:

-I’m assuming the head is compatible with my older version. Right?

-Has anyone done this before? Is it reasonably easy for a moderately skilled person to swap out?

Battery Question

Hey there, brand new to the Ego ecosystem. I just picked up a string trimmer and pressure washer yesterday. The string trimmer came with a 4.0 ah battery and a deal for an extra 2.5 ah for free.

I’m trying to figure out what my expectations should be from these batteries.

I charged them fully before using. Ran the 4.0 dead and switched to the 2.5. 4.0 wouldn’t charge. Did the three button press and hold method to “reset” it and it was fine. No issue charging the 2.5.

Fast forward to today and I’m trying to pressure washer my deck with one battery always on the charger, but these things don’t want to charge. I finally got the 4.0 to charge again after unplugging the charger for a bit and doing the reset. Then after using it, it won’t charge again. Same with the 2.5. Do they really need a long time to “cool down”? Never seen a battery platform so finicky.

TLDR: Should I be able to charge a battery as soon as I take it off the tool?

EGO 800 56V 7.5AH vs Greenworks Pro 80v 4AH

Hello, I have narrowed down my search into these two mower combos as a new homeowner. My front lawn is about 2,000sqft and the backyards is maybe 1,000sqft but has fescue grass. The Greenworks is currently on sale for $550.00 and the EGO is on sale for $780. Is the EGO worth the extra $200?

Walmart batteries legit/authorized?

I needed a new 5ah battery for my mower. Got the blower and free battery deal from Lowes but didn’t love how unbalanced the LB765 felt (compared to my old Greenwise Pro that still works fine) and I’m thinking about returning.

Found Walmart online sells 5ah batteries for $200 when the list price is $330 at Lowes and from Ego.

Are Walmart batteries counterfeit? Will I be able to register it with Ego?

Thank you!

Spring fell off 1100 Series Mower

Anyone have any idea what this spring could go to? I got a new 1100 mower about a month ago and when I was mowing yesterday I noticed this spring on the ground next to where I had just mowed.

The lever that controls the handle height/angle still worked and had its spring. The self propelled also seemed to work fine as well. I didn't notice anything but I imagine this spring goes to something important.

Edit: I am an idiot and it looks to belong to the trimmer!

Ego+ LM2114, coming from a Briggs and Stratton 190cc mower

My gas mower is finally dead. Replaced the carburetor, replaced countless spark plugs, replaced the pull cord... now I'm looking at electric. I have a decent sized lawn and it takes about an hour and a half to cut the back yard. I usually do it in two stages, so a 50 minute run time doesn't concern me. From any longtime lm2114 users here, how is the longevity? Anything I should know before I bite the bullet? Any cons you wish you knew before you got one? Thanks

Designed a Battery Storage Tower

I wanted a better way to store and access my ego batteries and it morphed into a universal tower carousel type design. Rotates and can be as tall as needed for more batteries. You can swap the battery brands out for any brand too!
