EGO 56V ARC Lithium Battery Rapid Charger WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU BUY! 

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!

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 🤩

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.

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.

Ego’s better than Milwaukee

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...

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.

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!

If my appointment is 5:00 I like to show up 10:05 🤔🤔😂

Chainsaw and lawn mower would be another cool set of videos as well

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?

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

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 !!

The fan cools everything. That is another reason for the vents on the battery

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?

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.

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.

Happy Friday VCG! Have a great day everyone! Keep up the good work!🧰⚙️🔩⛏🧰🌞

I bought the 580, more than enough for around here.

You can get all the ego tools wet in the rain and still get your job finish 👍

Isnt it bad to let a lithium battery die completely?

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.

Great video Vince

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.

Is it OK to leave it in the Mower/ blower after charging when not in use?

How is Camden nowadays ?

That rapid charger is Wicked Nice

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.

You could add that to your super duper charger and have a multi platform charger!

We wanna see everything ego got to offer

Yep. good video!! keep up the good work!

Do a video about the ego backpack grass trimmer.

That was pretty good

I just bought the 56v lawnmower and was considering a spare battery but the rapid charger may just have changed my mind.

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.

I love me 2nd super Ego……she keeps shutting off on full charge.

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.

Wow something that's not red 😂

Nice! Isn’t it the same color as Ryobi? Are they the same company? Happy Friday 😊

Ego products are great! The battery will last 3 full years and thats about it.

Can't wait for the Ego zero turn. Berri Noice.

EGO Power inverter

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

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!

More please thanks

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.

I think this video was about his Ego

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

More on snow blower

Bring the other tools on. Like your video.

Ego batteries are great until you get caught in the rain. Then you have a $250 doorstop.

Hello VCG!

I would love to see the power inverter station Vince @vcgconstruction

Great review

Good question... can u use that battery for ebike?

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

My battery died with very little use. IMO it is junk and I would avoid it.

What is the life expectancy of the GEO battery?

How much time to charge on the standard charger?

...Tazz?

What about greenworks 60v

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

Do yo know if Milwaukee is coming out with a power/inverter station?

I love my Milwaukee. My brother just bought the EGO. We will see how they compare.

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!

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

I learned absolutely nothing

Your the type of man I’m trying to get away from in civilization, to get closer to gods ways.

A little eccentric and a lot of wasteful gibberish. The important info was only 15% of this entire video. The rest? Ego acting.

So many refurbished ego for sale at Home Depot... that I’m out. They’re junk

Allot of blowing. Lololol I'm sure!

Sorry, this video is way too long to get through for it’s actual useful content.

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.
