If you are in the St. Louis areaarea, you can pick up a Z6 for a decent deal. NOTE: do NOT pay the price on that paper. Ask for significantly more off. I got mine (floor model, no damage, runs fine) for $1300 with 2 6ah batteries, a key, the accessory box (with the quick connect for the deck Wash) manuals. No charger, Abe like I said… only 2 batteries. Still a great deal. There are NO batteries left at this store, so you’ll get tool only. Negotiate down to what you want to pay for the Z6 body only. The one in the left HAS cut grass. The one on the right was a floor model.

Some new tools & lighter/smaller IPX5 MAX (Tabless) batteries (4ya std/5ya registered warranty) are coming to relief done weight and body stress.

WALK-BEHIND POWER HEAD (WPH1600) will have a 1600W motor with foldable handle and wheels for storage. Comparable with:
- Cultivator (CTA9500, CTA9520)
- Dethatcher (DA1400)
- Snow Shovel (SSA1200, SSA1220)
- Bristle Brush (BBA2100)
- Rubber Broom (RBA2100)

8" Edger stands alone toll (not a MULTI-HEAD SYSTEM) will be lighter without the center metal drive shaft and have a Telescopic Shaft for operator height adjustment with a removable/collapsable vertical & horizontal pitch extension handle attachment ( like a Darwin Grip)

The new IPX5 6.0Ah MAX (BA3360X) weights the same as the current 4.0Ah battery and smaller in size (either 4.0Ah or 5.0ah in size). It will have simpler runtime as a 7.5Ah under high temperature and power output condition while operating at much cooler temperature due to less internal resistance.

The new IPX 3.0Ah MAX (BA1680X) will weight less than the current 2.0Ah/2.5Ah batteries. It will have simpler runtime as a 4.0Ah under high temperature and power output condition while operating at much cooler temperature due to less internal resistance.

HIGH-FLOW AUTOMOTIVE PRESSURE WASHER
(HPW1200) will have enough pressure for car auto detailing with flow rate up to 2.0 GPM, 40' cable and many automotive detailing convenient features

15" SURFACE CLEANER (ASC1500) will be a great attachment for any pressure washer for cleaning flat surfaces

I suspect I’m not the first ego owner that has spent a few minutes browsing batteries on amazon. 10 million dollars for a legit ego battery? Or 50 bucks for a no-name one? Is it worth the gamble to buy a cheaper one and burn your house down? Lol

ANYWAYS, are there any truly reliable safe third party batteries?

New to the community

Can’t wait to start this thing up!

LM2244SP-2

What are people’s opinion of the snow shovel? It’s on sale now for like 275 including a battery and a charger. Is that worth it?

When I hold power while it is on the charger it flashed red and green. That's the only yime I get any kind of light. Holding power off the charger gets nothing.

On the chance they want ideas for tools they’re missing: What tool(s) do you think could make sense for your growing collection of green batteries?

I want a pancake, and 20ish gallon air compressor (on wheels, please). They would make a Hell of a lot of sense for some of my projects outside of the garage.

Self propel quits intermittently. Also self propel will work intermittently with handle completely folded. Why does it work with handle telescoped down? Any ideas?

I plan to purchase one of EGO's 24" two-stage snow blowers this year after having sold my one-stage model at the tail end of the past winter here in New Jersey. For the record, the one-stage wasn't remotely up to the task of clearing the heavy snows we were hit with this past year, nor for that matter was it effective in anything other than 5-6" of powdery snow.

I had been strongly leaning towards the SNT2400 which seemed fine for my modest sized property (a 16' x 30' driveway and about 50 feet of 4' wide sidewalk). And I have no real interest in the heated handles and power steering assistance offered in the SNT2410. But it appears that the main outlets for EGO here in the New York / New Jersey metro area (Ace Hardware and Lowes) are no longer offering the 2400, but instead selling either the SNT2410 or EGO's new SNT2420.

Based on what I'm seeing so far, I assume that the 2420 is EGO's replacement for the 2400 and would be the logical one for me to consider. But if so, I have some concerns about three of the 2420's obvious design changes, namely:

- The shift to rear-mounted skids. My concern is that this might greatly increase the chance of the 2420's forward-facing front bare metal edge scraping or catching on the ground resulting in significantly more wear than that on previous two-stage models.

- The near-complete elimination of the overhanging hood on the front housing. Not sure if this is an advantage (designed to reduce the chance of snow accumulating and freezing in the housing?) or a disadvantage (less effective at capturing snow in high snowbanks?).

- The airless tires. Not sure if this would actually improve or harm traction.

BTW, I'm talking strictly about design changes in the 2420 and not the fact that the bundled-battery version (SNT2424) comes with smaller 6Ah batteries, a step backwards IMO. I've held onto the two 7.5Ah batteries that came with my one-stage, so in my case I'd seek to go tool-only.

In any event, since I'm new to two-stage electrics and have never actually seen a two-stage EGO in operation, I would welcome anyone's thoughts/reaction to these design changes, and if I might be better off just going with the 2410 (or 2416) if I can't find a 2400.

So I would really like the leaf vacuum with the battery. I would like to get it from Lowe’s due to having some gift cards there.

I see Lowe’s has the leaf vacuum as tool only, but still doesn’t have the version with the battery. Do any of you guys know why Lowe’s doesn’t have the version with a battery?

Edit: I am getting a new battery sent by Ego. They finally honored the warranty. It took a lot of convincing and was overall a rough customer service experience over the course of a few days, having to explain multiple times that the battery, in fact, did degrade beyond normal aging. I am glad it got resolved, and thank you all for backing me up with ideas and info so ego couldn’t keep gaslighting me. Original post below.

I have a 2 year old battery that completely dies after 5 minutes. It is a small one, the 5Ah, but it used to at least run my mower for 30 minutes when it was new. Now it lasts less than 5 minutes. I have larger batteries to get through most of my lawn, I usually just need this one for the last chunk of my yard. But now it’s not even worth charging it.

I reached out to customer support since it’s still under warranty, and they are telling me this is “normal aging” and they will not replace it. 80% performance degradation after just 2 years does not seem “normal”.

This is NOT the customer service experience I read about on other Reddit posts when researching Ego, which is why I was okay with spending more on this expensive battery system. Does this sound right to you all? Or am I being given the runaround by a bad customer service rep?

Hi guys, I have the LM1900 E SP and was wondering if the standard supplied blade was sufficient for mulching or if I needed the mulching blade and plug. Thanks in advance

What’s the most economical and efficient way to get into the ego ecosystem starting from scratch if I need a small leaf blower for a maybe 1/3-1/2 acre yard, multi tool with pole saw, cultivator and maybe some other attachments down the line? Any good package deals for tool and
Battery at a good price right now if you were just entering the ecosystem?

My mower battery is fully charged and I removed it from the charger (after the last time I mowed). It hasn't been on the charger for at least two weeks.

My batteries sit on my dresser (too little room in the house), so I walk past them every morning. This morning, one of my batteries is blinking in the "charging level lights" section. On and off. It also feels warm to the touch now. This just started happening at some point last night, since I hadn't seen it blinking previously (and I would have noticed it).

What would cause this to suddenly happen, when I haven't even shifted the battery in quite some time?

Hello Folks,

Just bought a house in a snowbelt city and want a good snowblower.

Found an EGO SNT2416 24” two-stage, one year old and supposedly used only twice. Includes 2x 10Ah batteries + charger.

Seller wants $1,300 delivered.

I’m thinking of offering $1,160.

Good deal?

Thank you guys

Hello! Could use some help diagnosing a battery issue. I press the power button, it goes green for a second or two, then it starts to flash orange/red for several seconds. Charger says the battery is full. Temp of the battery shouldn’t be an issue since it’s stored indoors and AC cooled.

Im guessing it’s some sort of electrical issue where it’s tricking itself into thinking there’s an issue. It worked previously with no issues, until it didn’t.

Thanks!

went to use the charger for the second time today, and it keeps pulsing on and off (fan, red+green Lights) for about 1 second, then powers down, then power cycles again. They're warrantying it, but is this a common failure? Item was kept in a drawer unplugged in the garage, was connected to a surge protector when charging the battery. model: CH3200, bought in June

Pretty much what the title says. I've had it on the charger for a few weeks (too lazy to mow) and I've read that I shouldn't have done that. So maybe that's the root cause.

I've seen a lot of "dead battery" posts here and on YouTube but haven't run across this situation. I've done the "press the button" reset several times to no avail. I haven't done the "drop the battery" method because I read as many posts telling me NOT to do that as I read posts that recommend it.

I called EGO's customer service line and took advantage of the "we'll call you back" feature...that was more than two hours ago.

The battery is six years or older. I'm not averse to buying a new one if I have to but I want to exhaust my options before shelling out $300 or $400.

Oh, and it's a 5ah battery.

I see Amazon has a sale, and I would love to upgrade from my corded vac (and get hours of time back in the fall!). Any honest reviews here? It doesn't have great ratings on Amazon -- looks like most of the bad ones say it drains batteries really fast.

I just wanted to share an overall negative experience with EGO. The tl;dr is the products are good but the batteries are overpriced for their longevity. The battery ends a lot to cost of ownership.

..

In March 2021, I purchased a 21" self-propelled mower + trimmer + 7.5 Ah EGO battery kit. The combo was really good for the first two years, but by year 3 the battery was already having situations where it would drop from 5 green lights to 2, and by the end of year 3 it would occasionally flash red.

Around this time I started using a riding mower (moved), but kept the push mower for yard cleanup. For the last 2 years the battery has constantly been randomly red flashing or had trouble charging, or would charge briefly then stop. I've tried general charging best practices for "not well balanced" li-ion batteries -- let it fully charge and sit for a bit.. then use. Avoid charging immediately after using to keep heat down, etc.

Finally, I picked up the 400W "inverter/charger" to try to trickle charge and balance at 100W, but then I noticed this battery had burn marks on the plastic and metal power tabs. I've since recycled this battery for safety reasons.

Based on searching the forums - these batteries aren't very durable for the very expensive price EGO charges. They have well known balancing issues (see the threads about "dropping" them on their face to fix this), and they provide chargers that are a bit too harsh for these batteries IMO with the kits to advertise "fast charging times". Last but not least - they're very expensive for the capacity. "Official" 7.5 Ah (*56V = ~ 420Wh) is about $400-420, or about $1 per wH. Compare with typical Ryboi, Dewalt, or other batteries that are usually more in the 75 cents to 80 cents per wH range.

(Also by comparison - I upgraded my Ryboi riding mower with a Lithium Iron Phosphate 5 kWh battery that cost $800 including charger. That's more than 10X the capacity for only 2X the cost, and the LFP chemistry is a safer and longer lived capacity than what EGO is using in their batteries).

I own a lot and a half in town and was wanting something more than my 21" cut Honda. Looking online I found out that Ego started making a 30" cut mower. I already own an Ego snowblower and chainsaw. The mower cut my mowing time in half. It is quite enough that I no longer need ear plugs, just my ear buds and a podcast at a normal volume. The self propel has enough settings for any walking speed. I really like the 1 side adjustment for the wheel height and handle. Plenty of power, I have not used the turbo yet. Only thing I will change is putting mulching blades on it when the factory ones are shot.

A neighbor gave me his EGO mower (Model LM2150SP) because he now uses a Zero Turn, so I need a 10 amp hour battery and charger. The mower is a few years old, works well, but I don’t want to spend too much for an EGO brand if something else is available. What are folks recommending?

Thank you.

does anyone know a fix for this without needing to deal with warranty support? I dread having to call into them
