Been looking for a replacement ego battery. Got a couple 2.5 amp ego batteries that have died. Gonna give this a try! Thanks for the coupon code too! Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Keeps us updated how your works out for you. Thanks for sharing!
impressive
I’ve seen another comparison video for this battery against the oem battery on their lawn mower. The gentleman said it didn’t perform well, his mower kept shutting down while using this battery, where the oem battery had no issues. I would love to see a high amperage draw test performed on this battery.
I have seen some bad reviews and comparisons for sure. I mention that in one of the videos I believe. Maybe the Ruzixt 5Ah 1 year update video. I only have 2 of these aftermarket type packs. The 5ah that I bought first just to look inside and compare. The 6Ah they sent me to review. I can only share what I have tested and I have used these in the mower and blower for over 2 years now. Mine have happened to hold up well. They obviously have Chinese cells and a copied BMS board. I also see so many different sellers now that I don't know how the quality varies. I only have one video showing me using it in a mower. I just happen to use it while testing the mower in the video below. I also use it in this repaired mower ever since the repair of it in the following video. I don't have an easy way to load tests other than the mower and blower itself.
Thanks for your comment!
Have you found any good 7.5 or 10A replacement batteries? Thanks - great videos
Hi,
I have not tried any at this point. I have seen the 9000mAh aftermarket advertised at one time and lately I have noticed they don't show in stock or even advertised as they used to.
@@ThriftyToolShed cool. thanks for the reply. looking for some large capacity options for the EGO snow blower. Let us know if you come across anything for those of us in the Great White North!!!
I have a question, maybe I've asked before. The 14" and 16" ego chainsaws have half the rpm capability as the 18". I have seen a lot of comments in an EGO facebook group that the 18" is a different motor and therefore capable of double the rpms. I am wondering if they are all the same size motor or actually different. But maybe the 18 just has the ability for more voltage to go to it and therefore more rpm's?
I don't have the 18" chainsaw to say for sure, but I believe the 18" is a higher output motor. The 14" and 16" are the same other than the bar and chain. The 18" is a marketed as having more cutting speed and power at least.
@5:17, can you please post a link for the EGO battery adapter? If you 3d print it yourself, you should start selling it on ebay.
I will add 3 links below. The first is the eBay link to one similar to the one that I used in the video. I will also add some Amazon links to similar adapters if they work for you, the cheaper one has smaller gauge wire so depends on the load you plan to use of course.

Interesting I see Ali Express has some about 1/2 price
I see them now also, unsure if same manufacturer or not to be honest.
I need your help i saw your subwoofer video and i cant find this
TI 54334 DC-DC Converter Chip on Ebay do you know where else i could one for cheap?
I had a link at the time of the video for eBay where I ordered mine. They seem harder to find now? I see a few on eBay still and they are asking too much for them, unless you cant wait I would see if Digi-key or Newark gets them back in stock.
This is a link to Newark and they show out of stock and possible available in March 2022?

Just got some 12s. I’d love to open them to show them off but I have no idea what to care about inside.
I would like to see inside of those also. If you do a video looking inside the 12Ah send me the link. I don't know enough to say since they may be a lot different. One thing to mention is most of these on the board end where the fuel gauge and BMS board is, be careful and don't pull hard lifting it off. I have had viewers show me that they snatched the end off and pulled the wires out of the board. Usually these only have a 1-2" of wire length from pack to board and 3 connectors. The back cover and the separation of the halves is usually very easy on the other packs.
as of March 2023 don't see any 6.0Ah packs on Amazon, only 5Ah. Have you tested any of these? thx, great video and test method!
I have an older video of the first one I bought to test. It was indeed a 5ah and I have an update video on it here:
ua-cam.com/video/5A3mQ4HebDc/v-deo.html
It also looks similar to this style...
amzn.to/3K9RGuU
@@ThriftyToolShed thx - seems many of the off brand "5.0Ah" packs actually have 5.0Ah of additional juice, but right now there's a jump from "5.0" to "7.5" (haven't found a good test of these to see how much they actually have) for double the price. appreciate the feedback and tests!
So I have a 36v battery pack out of a hover board. The voltage was 1 volt so I woke the cells up with the charger and now it reads 40volts at the B- B+ on the pack but when I use the xt60 connector on the BMS the voltage reads 26v so I used another bms from another similar battery and the same thing the voltage reads 26 volts. Could it just be both bms boards are bad?
Well, what are the individual cells reading. If the pack went to 1V more than likely all the cells did not balance back out correctly. You could have some bad cells in series and they are low and some unfortunately will be over voltage. The BMS maybe doing its job and picking up an issue with individual cell monitoring.
Thanks for the info so I went back and disassembled the pack and got a reading of each cell and there was 4 that was at 3 volts so I swapped them out and now the pack is reading at 41volt. I get why the voltage was dropping as those cells were charging off the others and it’s funny because I knew that already but for some reason didn’t think to check the voltage AFTER the pack was sitting for a few days. I would check it after a charge and of course the volts would drop a little but not much to cause alarm.
We all know that using non-OEM batteries is not recommended, but can it be really dangerous? Is there a significant risk of injury or, to put it shortly: can it explode?
I do not see anything in these packs myself to be scared of. I only own 2 of these, but I have many Chinese cells and the only issue I have ever had with them so far is some manufacturers over hype the capacity of the cell for selling strategy of course. That is why I wanted to capacity test this one and I was truly surprised. I don't see anything on these packs that would scare me anymore than any Li-ion cells made by anyone else. Even Samsung had issue before. I always say that I treat these almost like gasoline, it's alot of energy per pound, very energy dense for sure. Anytime I handle any high energy device I try to be cautious of what the energy can do, especially since I work on alot of these! I try to be cautious when lithium cells are being in use (discharging) and while being charged and especially if I am working on these on my bench!
Do these batteries show up as more than 2Ah when plugged into an Ego Inverter?
I knew this question would come up so I should have mentioned that I do not own the Nexus power inverter to test it on. I can not answer that at this time. I will reach out to the supplier and see if they have an answer. Thanks for your comment!
Manufacturer just got back with me and stated the 6ah and the 7.5ah should work fine with the Nexus. The 5ah will not! I have no way to test, but ask them directly. Thanks for your comment!
@@ThriftyToolShed - thank you for your effort!
Question - At what voltage do the Ego batteries cut off at.
It's been a while since I tested these. I believe they were around 40V cut off.
@@ThriftyToolShed Thanks I appreciate your reply, I measured 51.9V after using it on a 18" chainsaw so it probably sprung back. I will measure it straight after use.
They will bounce back up some for sure. These monitor individual cells also, so if any cell drops below 2.9-3V or so the pack will shutdown. So it could be shutting down a little early if any cell has lost a little bit of capacity!
The link to the battery on Amazon is taking me to a scooter throttle.
Thank you Josh. I have updated the link. That throttle was from one of my last videos, lol...
Like the idea but site still comes up wrong for Amazon.
Is it still showing as a scooter throttle? I just updated it. It should go to Sunmily store from AMC with 3 options from 5ah, 6ah and even the 7.5ah...
Link worked fine for me.
Wonder why they stopped the 6.0AH?
They are showing the 7.5ah and 9ah in stock at the moment? Not sure..
