Same here. Wait for the battery to cool before charging. Also EGO has a fast charger & a trickle charger. The trickle charger won’t heat up your battery as much while charging.

My EGO snowblower crushes through heavy snow! I love it!

The large vents by the connectors is where the fan from the charger blows fresh air to cool off the battery. The excess heat leaves through the smaller vents on top of the battery. Heat can't leave through the large vents while in use because it'd be completely covered by the tool. The reason why EGO chargers charge so fast is because it rapidly heats up the cells, similar to how an electric vehicle preheats the battery for fast charging.

You also forgot to mention that using the slower charger is better for battery longevity. Less contact with heat, the healthier it will be. I figured I'd point this out as your video has two fast chargers in the background.

I really like my new EGO mower, came with a 10AH battery, really does well!

Good video. For best life, minimize time at zero charge and 100% charge. After using my ego batteries I charge them to 30-60%. This is optimal for storage life. When I am going to use them, I charge to full before hand. If I run at battery to zero, then I put it on the charger right away. I do have ego's fast charger, which makes this easy.

Considering how expensive these batteries are, any tips are appreciated. Thank you.

I have had major issues with my EGO latest generation batteries. Three separate battery failures within a year, including the warranty replacement battery. All of the failures are with the latest gen batteries with the 'fuel gauge'. I haven't had an issue at all with my earlier gen battery. My lovely local hardware story said quite a few have returned batteries with the same or similar issues to me - the battery flashes red and won't run, even if its charge is good/full. Thankfully, my local hardware store replaced my faulty batteries out of their own stock (earlier gen batteries, more reliable) as EGO was very slow to respond to warranty requests in Australia. I plan to sell my EGO chainsaw, line trimmer and mower as I am to stressed over the failures. I only use my gear maybe twice a week, so this is just not acceptable. I love the equipment (just amazing stuff) but what is the use of good equipment if the batteries keep failing. EGO knows that this is an issue as they apparently have replaced the internal cells with a different brand and there have been many issues...

w/multiple batteries, I like to number them so I can keep them organized and not use 1 battery more than another. I do this with my cordless tools as well. even with only 2 batteries, it is still useful...

Slow charge is better as well for life of battery. Charger that came with your blower is the one to use as opposed to the faster one with mower.

Can you explain the lights when you press the button on the battery

[JBun-qdfw]

My question is where do I put the battery, for example, say I have a fully charged battery and use my blower for only 15 minutes; do I leave the battery on the blower? Do I put it back onto the charger and leave it til the next week? Do I just sit it on the floor?
Can I store it on the UNPLUGED charger?

[huantrahuongson]

Amazing! So good and fast! We have a SunJoe Power Washer and we love that too. Great company and great products! KC snow can be heavy and this took care of it!

I have a four-year-old leaf-blower that I have barely used. I just went to use it and it turned on for less than a minute. The battery button (large one) was flashing red. I couldn't find the manual so I placed it in the battery charger. The small green light was solid green and the large button stayed red for a couple of seconds then turned off. I assumed the battery must have retained its charge so put it back on the blower. This time, it wouldn't turn on and the large button was flashing red all the time that I was depressing the actual blower buttons. I tried taking the battery off and replacing it but it only kept flashing red. It was engaged properly. Any idea what might be wrong with it?

I have even more questions after watching the video:) You said there is a maintenance mode, but don't leave it on the charger? So if I only mow once a week should I take it off the charger as soon as it is charged? Also what is best over a long winter (midwest?) Leave it in maintenance mode or manually charge it - if so how often?

[philipjohn]

Best advice... use them year round. I have the chainsaw blower and snowthrower. I will get mister fan next for more summer use.

[DavidEmerling]

Are you saying that it is bad for the battery to use the tool until the battery is depleted? Yet, you said (at 2:24) "So, I use the battery until it's depleted, I'll bring it down here (your basement), I'll leave it to cool off, then I'll stick it on the charger." What I'm wondering is this: Should I stop using the tool and change the battery when the battery is simply getting low - but not completely depleted?

Also, is it OK to leave the battery on the charger when the battery is basically in storage - in the winter, for instance, when I typically do not need many of these tools? You mentioned something about "storage mode."

[brucelavender]

Great video! Thanks for sharing your insight.
I only have one ego product; a leaf blower. Would you recommend returning the battery to the charger after each use?

[georgedavall]

Dude, DON”T STORE OR Leave them on the concrete floor!!! Great video just the same, appreciate it! It sounds like you have good game plan, and common sense, just get the batteries off the efin floor! 👍✌

[ricardofarfan]

Why the batteries blinking green light out of the charger?

[yannlathro]

Have you noticed any battery deterioration over the years? Still last the same amount of time while using it after a full charge?
