Vince. .this channel breaks it down for the average tool buyer and the way you break it down is awesome. .keep up the good work. .learn so much from watching your vids. .
Dude you rock! Not only informative but entertaining as well. You should have your own show! Love the Nikola reference!
Wow, thanks!
Great video. I swapped over to Milwaukee a few months ago but they still don’t have a bloody mower. So I brought a 21” SP ego mower with the 530 blower. The combo came with the 7.5ah battery and it’s a bloody tank!
I’ve upgraded to the 580 blower as the 530 had some features I didn’t like. I would definitely love to see more Ego related videos 🤩
Awesome!!
I have the snow blower ... it comes and uses 2 - 5.0 batteries.... I love it for the amount of snow in Maryland... while you can get a big massive snow blower at the price... I'm tired of the maintenance on them...
Nathan Potter Maryland has weird weather so I dunno how u “love the weather”
Thank you for the demo and show. What is the major difference between 2.5 ah and 5.0 ah? How long will each last on ST1521? For residential lawn care, shall I buy a trimmer with 2.5 ah or 5.0 ah battery with the price difference around $50? Thanks lot!
How are you coming up with 280 Ah when it’s a 5 Ah pack? Are you adding individual cell amp ratings together for 280 Ah but at 3.7 nominal volts?
Does he mean watt-hours??
@@davec.6456 How can anyone know ... he does not know what he's talking about!
If you read the instructions, they say NOT to plug it into power strips. Plug it only into the actual wall power source.
That is all I really learned from reading the manual.
Great Video as always ! I own a String trimmer blower and hedge trimmer ! Ego quality haa suprised me I started out with the trimmer and was impressed so added the blower fall three years ago ! I just bought the hedge trimmer and wow it makes trimming all my bushes a breeze 3 of my neighbors have jumped in the ego line after borrowing my toys ... LMAO .... My next purchase is going to be a snowblower as the reviews are impressive ! I'd love to see your honest opinion of the snowblower ! Wish EGO would send ya one to review !!
These batteries last 2-3 years after that they fail and new one is $150 for 2.5A or $350 for 7.5A. Either way these are about $50 less then just buying entire new tool with a battery and charger. EGO is not saving the environment by price gouging their customers on the battery and charger. I have returned my EGO trimmer to home depot and sold my line trimmer went back to gas tools.
I wish i would have this thing is a dead paperweight now.
I know mine just died after 3 years with minimal use , there BS , and price gouging, I have Makita batteries for over 12 years and there still going
I would love to see one on the power inverter, does it take 7.5ah batteries? what about the two stage snow blower?
Is it true that charging on the standard charger is better for the battery rather than a fast charger?
Generally, the more current you run through a battery, the shorter its life will be. Higher current = shorter life
Holy moly you must get crap ton of magazine reading done Vince. Showing up to your 5 o'clock appt almost 7 hours early. Hope your doing well. Haha
If you’re early you’re on time, if you’re on time you’re late
He didn’t realize what he said I think lol
The fan cools everything. That is another reason for the vents on the battery
Chainsaw and lawn mower would be another cool set of videos as well
I agree Antonio!!
Happy Friday VCG! Have a great day everyone! Keep up the good work!🧰⚙️🔩⛏🧰🌞
❤️
If my appointment is 5:00 I like to show up 10:05 🤔🤔😂
I guess thanks for your first video. Next time can you make a video of of your garage walls’ paint drying? It ought to be fun watching.
Yep. good video!! keep up the good work!
I hate my new electric mower. I now have to cut the grass twice a week to try to keep the thatch down. It does not mulch it creates thatch, it leave long blades of grass to turn brown. Keep you gas mower as long as you can you will be much happier.
Depot had the blower/edger combo with a battery for $199. I got another 10% off plus 11% Menards price match for another $20 off. I use the blower to keep my job site clean, especially during framing.
You like edging?
Is it OK to leave it in the Mower/ blower after charging when not in use?
You can get all the ego tools wet in the rain and still get your job finish 👍
No, the manuals all say not to do what you are saying. Its dangerous. Do whatever you want to but please don't advise others to do dangerous stuff. Thanks.
I just bought the 56v lawnmower and was considering a spare battery but the rapid charger may just have changed my mind.
I am probably getting the 56v mower with the 7.0amp/hr battery and also the snowblower later on, was wondering if I should get the snowblower as a "tool only" with no battery & charger and instead invest in this rapid charger. My only thought was would it cause the same battery to deteriorate faster over time? Decisions, decisions...
@@indiansfanzz return it all. it wont last more than 4 years
I bought the 580, more than enough for around here.
Does anyone know if it's ok to use the rapid charger with a (1000 Watt Car Power Inverter 12v DC to 110v AC Converter with Dual AC Outlet 2.4A USB, 12 Volt)? Just in case I have to use my small SUV to charge my EGO batteries.
Great video Vince
Nice! Isn’t it the same color as Ryobi? Are they the same company? Happy Friday 😊
They are both green
Ryobi by tti and ego by Chervon. Totally different companies
Ego’s better than Milwaukee
That rapid charger is Wicked Nice
Hello, in that circuit, there is a component marked as C30 and another marked as Q16, and D22, you can provide me with its values, I have a charger like the one shown in your video, and it is damaged, and those components their values are not visible, since they were destroyed by an overload, you can provide me with that information, Ego PowerPlus/Power+ CH2100 battery charger
Is it best to completely charge or to charge to 85% capacity. I had been fully charging but ive switched to charging completely then using the 150 watt EGO Escape inverter and an electronic device to reduce the batteries to 85%. They will usually sit on the shelf for a couple days between charges and use. Id love to know whats best
If you're going to be reducing the battery charge to 85%, you may as well just charge to 85% and not put the extra load on the battery to charge and then drain it.
You're just burning away life by discharging the battery to 85%. The battery is well managed on its own, it charges to around 4.1v to 4.15v, as opposed to the actual 100% charge of 4.2v per cell. It's already doing what's needed to preserve the battery lifespan. Not only that, but a resting battery that sits for over a month will discharge to 30% for storage, just make sure you keep your batteries in use if they're not actually going into seasonal storage or you're wasting battery life.
@@Jaker788 yea i know i realized that shortly there after sir. warburg theory is the remedy for most dis-ease
Do a video about the ego backpack grass trimmer.
Good question... can u use that battery for ebike?
Bahaha!
Hey! I want to see Ego in action! I purchased an Ego chainsaw very recently. I almost prefer this chainsaw to gas powered. ALMOST!
Only trouble I encountered is with the bar oiling. It would get so much debris packed in there after only a few minutes. I was spending more time with my saw apart then I was using it.
Needless to say I got a different (brand) bar. Problem solved.
Final conclusion: I'm convinced. Ego rocks, I'm prepared to invest! I want all of Ego's equipment. 1 of each, please.
I am curious if others have had the same issue with Ego's bar.
I enjoy your enthusiasm, my friend. Happy New Year!
Kayla-Marie Harley I just spent a day cutting dead pine trees and had the same issue. Chips packed around the chain sprocket and bar.
@@wharrison7131 did the debris affect the performance of your chainsaw?
For mine it acted like I needed to take the guides down also the bar would get hot (no oil) and the chain would get increasingly tighter on the bar.
But like I said I put a different bar on and haven't had a problem with the chainsaw since.
What type of bar did you put on?
Very much so. Bar got so tight, hot. After only a short time running it. No where near the life of a battery.
Yes, exactly same issue.
I ran the 14" bar, I think.
Just ended up manually oiling it... Finally it got the hint and started oiling. But not before i warped the original bar.
@@shaneallison7259 14" bar that came with it. Probably played around with a Walmart bar n chain. But i think ultimately it was a Tractor Supply bar that worked best.
Don't quote me on that. It was 2 years ago. Ive been working through 15+ saws since.
How is Camden nowadays ?
I would love to see the power inverter station Vince @vcgconstruction
Thanks for the feedback Antonio!!
Me too 🙂
I love me 2nd super Ego……she keeps shutting off on full charge.
Pops has the lawnmower with the 7.5 amp hour battery.... which they made a riding lawn mower... I mean ryobi does and it has high reviews.
They do now
Isnt it bad to let a lithium battery die completely?
This guy knows what he's talking about! "280 amp hours of power"!
It actually says 5Ah and 280Wh that's Watt hours.
Plus if he has "an appointment at 5 o'clock I'm showing up at ten 'o' five". At least it sounds like that.
I love my Milwaukee. My brother just bought the EGO. We will see how they compare.
What is the life expectancy of the GEO battery?
mine lasted 4 years
@@aloiswinzinger1160 So I need to start putting away some money for a new battery.
Be curious about the fan no more!
There are two fans in the charger, One at the bottom, one on the left side.
The one on the bottom PULLS air through the battery vents, and exhausts that air out of the back, rather than pushing air into the battery like Makita does.
The fan on the left, Just behind the massive green vent on the charger, is responsible for cooling the charger itself.
Great review
We wanna see everything ego got to offer
Do yo know if Milwaukee is coming out with a power/inverter station?
Hahaha!
You could add that to your super duper charger and have a multi platform charger!
Bring the other tools on. Like your video.
Just be careful I'm pretty sure I smoked one of my batteries because I used the rapid charger everytime I charged my batteries its better to slow charge them
More please thanks
How much time to charge on the standard charger?
Haha! Dependa on how depleted the battery is.
That was pretty good
Can't wait for the Ego zero turn. Berri Noice.
Hello VCG!
EGO Power inverter
Ego products are great!
The battery will last 3 full years and thats about it.
@@TheDwightMamba I did not know that. thats great info! Thanks for sharing.
I really appreciate the advice!
Do you know anything about the replacement batteries? I've seen some on Amazon for half the price of an original EGO battery.
@@TheDwightMamba I will definitely keep that in mind. Thanks!
@@TheDwightMamba nope i sotred it in off season its crap start of 4th year
More on snow blower
Just my opinion but I think people working these batteries to hard I think heat is the enemy I have some ego products trimmer and chainsaw and I never put a battery on charge right after use I let it cool for 30 minutes to an hour and I think these rapid chargers shorten battery life just saying if I got a lot of wood cutting I use my Stihl chainsaw the battery saw is no match under heavy use
Possibly, but there's is a fan that draws air through the battery. There's also research that shows controlled higher temp fast charging is actually better than room temperature, and Tesla for example gets the battery up to above 100F for supercharging and won't hit full output until that's reached.
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.
its crazty that the ego battery and the new skill saw worm battery are so big and dewalts flexvolt are so much smaller. ehhh ohwell #teamred
Yo fellas!
I think this video was about his Ego
Wow something that's not red 😂
Ego batteries are great until you get caught in the rain. Then you have a $250 doorstop.
Unless you had a xbox360 that flashed the red ring of death . It was not awesome or fun . It was frustrating that you had to wait for Microsoft to send you a package to pack your malfunctioning xbox360 up and ship to them to fix while waiting in agony for them to ship your xbox360 back to you .lol
My battery died with very little use. IMO it is junk and I would avoid it.
I bought a few Ego products in the past and I have to say that I've been only someone impressed. Everything is great until the battery dies and Ego refuses to replace them even during the warranty. I do not recommend buying Ego products.
...Tazz?
Allot of blowing. Lololol I'm sure!
🤣🤣
Your the type of man I’m trying to get away from in civilization, to get closer to gods ways.
So many refurbished ego for sale at Home Depot... that I’m out.
They’re junk
I bought one today.
I learned absolutely nothing
A little eccentric and a lot of wasteful gibberish. The important info was only 15% of this entire video. The rest? Ego acting.
Sorry, this video is way too long to get through for it’s actual useful content.
thanks kyle. say hi to karen ya douche
To much bla, bla, bla.
DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP. I went electric in 2017. I am in the Northeast. I use my lawnmower a few months out of the year. Now the battery is dead beginning the 4th year. ( warranty 3 years on battery ) I mow once a month. Replacement for 7.5 is $450 might as well get a new damn lawnmower. I would not have spent this much on gas.
What about greenworks 60v
