@techmadeezy - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
My oldest battery goes back to March of 2016. (2.5 a/h)
I've had one 7.5 (newer with fuel gauge) fail and it was covered under warranty. Download the app and register your equipment and batteries WHEN you get them. And keep them inside in the basement in the winter. Great video Al!
Thanks
Great advice
Love all the tip and really love that now that this video is out, your able to now educate the new generation of people who are going to youtube to see about these new machines and the battery’s that power them, i can tell you 7-8 years ago, we didn’t have anything like this and nw we have a treasure trove, always a great video my friend a nd keep on going and making even more and more awesome videos
Thanks, Alex been been a while man. I hope you’re OK.
@@TechMadeEzyall has been well, ive been playing catch up on all the TH-camrs over the subscribed too, now thats summer is free i will be able to catch up on your videos more frequently and hopefully drops. Comment along with that like, hope all has been well my friend, prayers for Brooklyn who is in doggy heaven
One of the biggest factors in EGO battery health is the battery temp. Charging indoors after resting has made a huge improvement in my batteries performance.
Great information on extending battery life. I own an Ego power station and several tools. I'm going to make some changes in storage and charging. Thanks.
Excellent video Al!!! A wealth of information. Thanks so much.
Lindsay 🔋
Thanks buddy
I absolutely love any of your videos. Always very interesting and good video and information.
I wanted to tell you that I love always seeing Brooklyn in your videos and please remember that she is always and forever in you and your family's hearts and minds moving forward as you move forward together. Thank you for sharing her with your fans.❤
Thanks so much
Some great information here. I wish I had watched it when I bought my mower. Keep up the good work.
Mark Amy thank you
Stay in touch and let me know if I can help
Thanks for the great video.
Thanks for commenting,
Thank You!
Very informative thank you
Thanks Anthony
I needed this 😊
Me too !
Thanks
Great information. Thanks.
Joseph thanks so much
Another excellent video. Thanks for all the great information 👍
Thanks Paul
Great video filled with great information. I fell in love with Ego several years ago and still have my original 7.5 battery and funny enough, it is lasting longer than my newer fuel gauged 7.5. I always store then indoors and try to follow the charging methods you outlined. The 2.5 batteries are getting fairly worn out these days and don't last too long in the trimmer like they used to.
Thanks
Just ordered an E-go string trimmer.....so excited! It is a kit, so it comes with a battery.
what did you get? I'm considering a trimmer myself.
Great tips on maintaining battery life! I didn’t find the battery model numbers or recommended battery for each tool to be very valuable. The pace is slow, you can easily watch on 2x speed.
I've been doing this with my batteries since day one. Still using my original 7.5ah dated 2017. Though it does not have full capacity anymore it still works.
I basically never use the fast charger
Another good tip: After finished using tool/batt and have rested it 30 min or more to cool, I will charge it back up to about 50%. Then it can sit until the next time I need it and then fully charge it right before I need to cut the grass again.This is also important to do when done for the season and the batteries mostly sit over the winter. LiOn batteries don't like to be fully charged or discharged for an extended period of time.
Lol, welp, I was doing none of these except taking them in during the winter. I immediately went out into the garage and removed the batteries just sitting in the tools and on the chargers and found some proper storage for them when not in use. Thank you for all of the tips! I'm not sure if this is a good one to add, but I have bought two additional batteries from Facebook marketplace that were brand new and for about half the price. Buyer beware, of course, but they were excellent sellers.
Thanks Dustin
That's a nice screen on that mower. I never saw that one. Mine is the old original version. I used it today and it works well still.
Thanks yeah I agree
That’s the lm2167sp but the speed IQ feature made it get discontinued
It was pretty bad
Ego batteries are like printer ink cartridges. It costs more to buy replacement batteries than new machines. Ego batteries by themselves are ridiculously overpriced.
I totally agree. Love their equipment but the batteries cost way too much. When my set goes out I’m moving to ryobi
My ego batteries started to not hold a good charge right after the warranty ran out, I’ve been milking them along for several years now but I really need to replace them , I’m thinking about just buying new tools cause like you said it’s cheaper to buy the tool with the battery , if I didn’t have so many if their tools already I would change brands , but I love the tools they have all served me well
Not to mention the lack of service centers
They are repairable.
Yes. Kobalt is the same.
I have a 2ah made in January of 2015. It's still working.
💪🏼
I almost agree with the 'push mower' comment. My self-propelled mower is so light; that I hardly ever employ the self-propelled mechanism.
Good job. Just got my 4th ego tool.
Nice, which one did she you get?
@@TechMadeEzy I got the edger
@gman6584 nice! I have that also but I end up using my string trimmer most of the time to Edge
Great videos! And thanks for using both metric and ‘our’ version of the number break downs 😂 (as a side note, has any one every mentioned your voice sounds uncannily like Howard Stern? )
😎
Great info Al, thank you.
I have a lot of the tools and all but my 10ah are out of warranty. 1 year left on 10ah. All my tools get used and I’m happy to say are in great shape. Certainly don’t need new equipment. I understand Ego giving a discount on tool kits to get more customers in. But I hope that they decide it’s a good idea to start planning to keep current users in the ecos. I would love to see them start a trade in service where they give a coupon for purchase of a new battery and then they recycle them. Or maybe even start selling recycled/refurbished batteries with trade in. I believe this type of sales process will also keep customers from buying generic ego batteries…which I already feel Ego is loosing sales on. Good or bad as generic batteries may be, many will decide to save the money to buy them.
Anyways Al, I have made this suggestion but I’m not a TH-cam influencer so if you like this idea and know a way to present this-have at it sir.
Thank you and keep up the good videos you do.
I agree. Trade ins/refurbishing/selling recycled batteries would be a great thing to keep customers away from the knock offs sold on Amazon (I must admit I bought a couple of them).
I bought a knock off 12ah one. When it arrived; I thought there was a mistake; (there was; they lied!), it was the same size as my 5ah EGO batteries.
Which is what it really was. Works great; as a 5ah one. I protested to the manufacturer; and they refunded my purchase; AND let me keep the battery!
Thank you for your videos. Thank you for all the tips, such as allowing the battery to rest after charging and removing the battery from the tool or charger. I have purchased two EGO products. One is the new HT2601 Hedge Trimmer and the other is the LBPX8006-2 Backpack blower with two batteries and as you advised I purchased the kits that contained batteries and chargers. The blower is overkill at this time of the year, but will be needed in the autumn, so I will also get a smaller, hand held blower. ( Our California community is being forced into the conversion from gas powered tools to electric tools.)
Charging batteries is always challenging because there are so many opinions, and they cannot all be correct. My new iPhone has a setting to limit the charging to 80% which claims to extend the battery life, and only to charge it to 100% if it will be heavily used or away from a charger. ( sorry TMI ) Finally here is my question: If I use only 30 - 60 % of the batteries power, should I top it off before I use it again or should I try to get it down to 10-15% before recharging? I have only used the blower twice and still have two light bars on one battery and three bars on the other battery. Some people used to talk about "battery Memory" and that a battery should be brought as low as possible before recharging and that unnecessarily topping off was bad for the battery and maybe old knowledge does not apply to the new battery technology. I am almost a complete novice at all of this so any advice will be much appreciated.
Maybe the topping off recharging question is covered in your upcoming battery video.
Thank You again 🙂 💚
Hi thanks so much
I simply stop when the battery turns red that’s about 15% I believe. I always fully charge.
I have two tools and four batteries. One 2.5 ah , 2 5ah and 1 12ah ( aftermarket). The tools are a lawnmower and a blower. The lawnmower came with the 5ah and the fast charger. The blower was equipped with the 2.5ah and the standard charger. All of my tools were purchased in 2019 .The aftermarket battery was just purchased. I am going to be using your recommended procedures now and I hope to be getting some more life out of them. I’m making the move to store them inside now.
Thanks
Be careful with after market, keep an eye on it.
Very nice video, thanks for that. Do you consider the Nexus like a charger? I dedicate 2 10 amp batteries for that tool and leave it on the Nexus, the idea is to always have the max power of my batteries when I need it, especially when I lost power from the grid
Hi Charles thanks
Yes, I'd recommend taking them off please. Also grab the solar charger for the nexus, have you seen it?
I wish they would have a way to manually activate the batteries’ self-discharge function - I would prefer to bring them down to 40% for storage. I keep them fully charged during winter and when major storms are forecasted, but that leaves them self-discharge maybe once or twice a year.
Thanks--this was very timely. Would you recommend the Ego lawnmower?
Thanks do you have any yard tools now? Trimmer etc?
@@TechMadeEzy yes I have Makita tools.
I was asking that because if you already have their tools, I know they make a mower. I’ll be honest I’ve never reviewed their mowers, but normally you want to try sticking in one platform.
But I would definitely say ego makes good mowers
I kinda agree with sticking with one platform. (I just took inventory; I have TEN EGO tools!). However; the reason I added Greenworks to my arsenal; is because of the physical SIZE of the tools. I consider that a void in EGO's lineup. I wanted a couple of smaller/lightweight chainsaws; EGO doesn't offer anything like that. I also wanted a little/big saw; if you get my drift.
The 40v Greenworks battery is comparatively tiny; against the EGO 56v.
Thereby enabling a very compact 14" chainsaw. Does it have the power of the EGO 14" saw? I doubt it. But again; I didn't want a big/little saw; I wanted a little/big one.
I have seven Greenworks tools; and 'love' each of them.
I don't need my lawn looking like a putting green. One of the main features of my EGO mower is the crazy light weight! I'm sure the power of the model that comes with the 10ah battery is impressive; but I can cut the back yard with a generic 5ah battery; and the front with the 7.5ah.
I never used to like cutting the yard; now I look forward to it; and that's after three years of use!
I"m looking at a push mower also. I don't want the self propelled models.
When my batteries are exhausted; I don't 'wait' for them to cool down passively before I put them on the charger.
I have a couple of 120v CNC pendant 4 inch cooling fans wired up that I put battery in between. Depending on the size of the battery; I will leave it there for fifteen minutes to a half hour. After that; the battery is 'ice' cold and ready to be charged.
the 22 inch aluminum deck has bluetooth and shows you the percentage through the ego connect app
For a long time, I have wondered and wanted information on how to use, store and charge Ego batteries. Yes, I have always bought my Ego tools with battery because the battery is much cheaper. My 10aH with my new aluminum deck mower is sitting in the fast charger unplugged. I will remove it. The one question that was not addressed was how long a battery can sit unused (off the charger) and is there a rough battery percentage ??? Of my 6 Ego batteries, only my new 10aH has the fuel gage %. Should I rotate batteries of the same amp hour where some don't get used or at least for a very long time ?? ... Great review, it is much needed !!!
Thanks bro
Good question I haven’t seen any maintenance advice in the manual. Many power station manufacturers with lithium batteries actually tell you to cycle the battery every certain amount of months. If you’ve got batteries that you’re not using then yeah I would probably rotate them.
@TechMadeEzy I hadn't considered the extra weight as being a feature. Now that you mention it; my self propelled select cut DOES bounce quite a bit.
The Aluminum deck and the extra weight will mostly solve that but I have a bumpy lawn and it'll still bounce a little bit but definitely not as much as the previous Select Cuts. But the price difference is really insane
What is your recommendation regarding the upper & lower battery charging range to optimize battery life? Thanks.
Because we can't see % Roger I just stop at Red let it rest and charge it.
When the 7.5AH battery is fully charged (full green lights on charger and battery), should you leave it on the charger until the fan stops or take it off the charger immediately? I'm thinking the fan is continuing to cool the battery?
PS, you are the reason I purchased my mower and I thank you in my mind each and every time I do NOT have to tighten the bolts on my gas mower handle, battle the wasps in the shed, fill the mower with gas and try to pull that handle.
Battery in, handle up, push the button and GO!
Thank you!
Thanks appreciate that
Don’t take it off until it stops yes it’s actually cooling the battery
Hi Al, I have had the batteries from 2014 with a total of 13 now and all work great. Slow charging and all the same info you gave in the video. I use a DC volt meter mounted on an adapter bought from Amazon and keep track of the batteries as I use them. When they get to about 50 volts, I then start charging them after a wait time and cooling with a fan blowing through them, since cooling is the key on all these batteries.
Thanks Buster interesting idea thanks for sharing and watching buddy much appreciated
Have 2 2.5s one old and one new. One 5ah new gauge and 3 7.5ah 2 new and one old. All are still working fine.
💪🏼
@TechMadeEzy question for you since you have a few of the ego mowers. Looking at a 2150 or a 2200. Is the turbo worth it? Have the 2100sp now and would like the extra suction from the more powerful newer mowers.
@troybalster3687 hey Troy I’m currently working on reviewing the new aluminum deck mower. It’s almost done that should help you with the answer to that question. I just can’t answer it right now.
@TechMadeEzy cool waiting for the review then. Ohh btw if you can use one of your 7.5 ah batteries in the 2206 would like to see how long it lasts relatively.
I've heard it's best to only charge up to around 80 percent on batteries to prolong
their overall quality. Do you think that applies with these?
It's hard to impossible to know % with these batteries that's why I stop at Red.
I'm sorry about Brooklyn. And I agree with Alexandercosta. I'm not going to repeat what he says.
Having to take the batteries off the charger is an example of bad engineering. The BMS should be smart enough to deal with that. And you can't leave the battery attached to tools? So on the big mower you need to remove all 8 batteries? That's not going to happen. That's like draining your remaining gas out of a gasoline mower every time you use it. Even I with my limited abilities could come up with a circuit to diisconnect the batteries from any drain source. That makes me rethink EGO.
From personal experience, the 2.5 ah battery is inadequate for the string trimmers. The 5.0 ah is what I would recommend but EGO , like most manufacturers just package a battery at the lower end. I run my ST1511T on low speed (never on high) and the area covered is not large yet I have to recharge in order to complete the area. We are diametrically opposed on this one.
I use a 2.5 amp battery with my strength trimmer all the time. I think it’s just a matter of how big your lawn is and how much work you have. The 2.5 amp power battery keeps the tool light and works well. We all have different size properties.
Extremely helpful. I do not have a heated or air conditioned area for my garden tools. I am currently using a gas lawn mower. With winter storage I am lucky to get 3-4 years on a starting battery. I currently have some tools from Greenworks 80v. Very disappointing. I do keep the batteries inside when not being used and have had them several years. I was looking at the Zero Turn Mower. Less than a year later, it was no longer available, but an 82v was. The batteries were not compatible. I do really like the Weed Whacker for the power and the fact that it is fairly quite.
Thank you
Just bought a string trimmer and blower kit ... little discouraged that minimum blower recommendation is 5 Ahr and kit came with a 4 Ahr battery
Don’t be, the four amp hour battery is fine. Don’t be discouraged. It does the job. Also, that isn’t an old battery that is the new generation. It has the power. Thanks for watching the video.
The 6ah battery is included in the t6 riding mower so I wonder if they have a higher discharge capability than most. Interested if some use 18650 cells whole others use 21700 cells. The 5ah seems like a good all around battery for most tools: powerful enough but not too heavy for tools like the string trimmer.
The 5ah battery is NOT powerful enough to run the CSX5000 chainsaw; it comes with an 8ah battery. The 5ah WILL run it; but not at it's fastest speed. Idk about the CS2000 chainsaw; IT comes with the 6ah battery.
That's commercial, this video is all residential.
Are you going to do a video on the CS2000? The CSX5000's little sister. 😂
Another thing that can affect lithium battery life, is letting them sit without use.
Letting any lithium battery sit for long periods of time is not the best for it, but it is the worst if you let it sit at 90%-100% or 0%-10%
If you're going to store a lithium battery for long periods of time, discharge some of the energy so it's sitting below 90% and is above 10%
One things missing on your battery tips is very important, leave your battery charged at 40 to 60 percent for long storage. Lithium ion batteries will degrade if charged over 90 percent.
We had our second video launch that included storage tips based off of Ego and they are recommendations. Here’s the link if you want to check it out.
th-cam.com/video/6y4_lxQMclw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jCLrTvf5IGcxHG7L
Any tips for storing the batteries for the winter in a cold climate? I leave mine in the basement as mentioned but are they OK not being charged for a few months and just sitting?
Basement should be fine as long as it's not freezing don't leave the battery on concrete put it on something and make sure the charge is about 50% after a month or so the battery will do itself maintenance you'll see the lights flashing don't worry about it it'll put it in a deep sleep. When you're ready to use it just give it a full charge
@@TechMadeEzy Thank you!
Thank you
I know you recommend the slower changes for extended battery life span. Would you recommend just a regular slow charger, or would the 100w port on the 400w inverter be better?
I was planning on getting the 400w inverter for emergency power, and was hoping to kill 2 birds with one stone.
I don’t know if it makes a difference but I’ve always tried to change my power tool batteries off of a DC charger if they offer one
I just recommend using a slower charger if you have one normally when you buy an ego tool as a kit, you get a battery and a charger. What tool do you have and did you buy the kit that comes with the charger and the battery?
@@TechMadeEzy I have the mower from spring Black Friday that came with a 7.5 and a 5ah battery so I only have a fast charger right now and I sparingly use it. It sounds like a rocket is about to go off when I charge my batteries. I know it’s not good so I only charge them sparingly right now
Keep an eye on a possible sale for this one it’s 280w and handles 2 batteries amzn.to/3RmyVHP
I just bought an Ego string trimmer and tried to register it as you said; however, they would not let me register it without giving them my credit card information. I have no intention of purchasing from them and they definitely do not need my credit card information. How can I register the product???
Use the website to register it, if not just call EGO they will help but be aware it's the weekend so the team might be light on the weekends 8553465656
So can I use a 10amp on the mower and blower and string trimmer and hedge trimmer ect…
Yes and a 12ah if you want. But this might make it easier see this video th-cam.com/video/QHS20WFTBQ0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=I9jRiK_Gi9W6n207
I think you missed something in the battery maintenance section, which is that you never talk about what charge percentage you store your batteries at when not used for long periods of time. I have to believe that you intended to include this information because right after talking about battery maintenance you talked about how to get the battery percentage on the older batteries, but never go into why you would want to know the battery percentage. I personally store all my batteries at 2-3 bars (40%-60%) when not in use, I'm curious if you do something similar.
I like to charge all my batteries on my slowest charger, no matter what size. Don't know if it helps but I don't think it hurts longevity.
Definitely does
I wish I had not lost my receipts. Fortunately, EGO took pity on me and I got my 2400 snow blower repaired for free after 2 years. (I broke the transmission when I hit a hidden rock.) I use 7.5 and 10.0 ah with it, and don't notice much of a difference in run time or power. BTW, my new 670 leaf blower came with a 4ah battery, not a 5.0. .
I'm not being a smart aleck; but it seems like you've NEVER had one go bad yet. Have you? And if so; what size was it; and how was it employed?
You mentioned not to leave the batteries on the charger for storage.Can you leave them on the charger for storage as long as the charger is disconnected?Thanks.
No, if you saw the image I brought up from EGO even though the charger is disconnected there is still a connection and a small drain.
Thanks I have been leaving one on the charger unplugged so I’ll be sure to remove it.I also just purchased a new Ego lawnmower with the quick charger but I won’t use it as my primary charger as you recommended.
Thanks for your support Dave
You said do not charge after use, but the Ego advice says to charge after use ... You show us! Which is the truth?
Can batteries be mixed in one tool? My mower has 4 10AH batteries in it. Can I fill the last two slots with 12AH batteries (so the mower will have 4 10AHs and 2 12AHs)?
Hi 👋🏼
Im assuming you have a zero turn mower? If it came with 10ah batteries then the answer is yes no problem. The batteries you are putting in are higher amp hour so that’s fine. I wish I had more land I’d love to own one of those
@@TechMadeEzy Yep. It's their 42" Zero Turn Mower. According to their marketing, those 4 10ah batteries are supposed to be able to let it mow 3 acres. In the early spring, when we had the PTO running fairly slowly, it was able to do about 1-1/2 acres. Now, with higher grass and the PTO running full out, we can mow only about 1 acre. So, time to add some battery. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it.
Snow blower? Leaf blower. 😊
Your second tip says to rest the battery for a minimum 30 mins before using again or before you have to charge it. But the note from Steve Jacobs advised that the battery should be removed from the tool and placed on a charger right after use, and then once charging is complete, remove the battery. Your #2 Tip conflicts with Steve's recommendation. I also realized that you read the first part of his message and not the second part which is the opposite to what he said. strange that none of those commenting chose to point this out. So who should the readers believe: you or Steve. I patiently await. (BTW, I own the EGO ST1511T & 2.5 ah battery)
Let it cool down before charging and always take it off the charger. Steve does my social media but I’m the one that uses the tools
Hope that clears things up
Off topic; why the aluminum deck? I think the polycarbonate deck is plenty strong enough.
Hi, thanks do you know the good news is Ego makes many mowers. The aluminum deck is just another choice. The deck does add more weight, which will be a better cut depending on your lawn.
i want to get the plain 'push' mower, but it comes with a 5.0ah batt., i want more run time, can i use a 7.5ah in that basic mower? i want to switch to all electric and commit to a particular brand for the battery eco-system. thank you to anyone for the advice. - thanks for the tips!
Hey thanks
You can use all ego batteries even a 12ah battery 👍🏼
@@TechMadeEzy thanks for the reply, i ask because it looks like the batteries are 2 different sizes, if the mower came with a 5ah and the bigger ah batteries were physically bigger they wouldn't fit in the 5ah receptical. do all EGO batteries fit in all machines but with different power levels?
They are designed to fit in all EGO-tools the larger, the battery, the more runtime
@@TechMadeEzy 👍😃🥳thank you!
My pleasure
So I’m still wondering what happens if I run out of charge in my 10aH battery and put my 5aH battery into my lawn mower? Will it not be able to spin the blades as fast?
It will work but your run time will be cut in half.
@@TechMadeEzy Can you damage a 5amp Battery with a 10 amp charger.
Naps for batteries? Who would have thunk it?
How long will a battery remain charged after taking it off a charger
My experience around 3 to 6 days after that you start losing a charge and then it’ll start going into self maintenance mode where it’ll actually drain the battery on its own.
How do you keep your mower and chainsaw SO CLEAN…..LOL ?! It looks brand new, never been used. I clean mine but it never looks new .
Did you buy aftermarket batteries to do just the same
I never buy aftermarket batteries
just curious what people think about the " no name " batteries that are compatible with ego and much cheaper.
I wouldn’t touch them
@@TechMadeEzy can i ask why?
My rule is when it comes to power, electricity, especially batteries I’d rather not mess with anything but the original that I know has been tested and tested.
I also don’t want to take a change and voice a warranty.
@@TechMadeEzy makes sense, thank you
i'm new to ego products. lawn mower and weed eater, love em so far
👍🏼
What should I do with an EGO battery that has died?
You would probably have to contact your county to find out where you can recycle it
When the battery turns red, stop. I killed a battery like this once. I was using it in the chainsaw on a difficult cut. The battery light turned red. I unplugged it and plugged it back in and kept cutting. Later I discovered that I had overheated and ruptured all of the cells in that battery. 😢
Ego would have still covered you under the 3 yr warranty I believe
@@TechMadeEzy thank you, but as a commercial user, my warranty terms are shorter. And had expired on this particular battery. 😅
True
Love ego but the lack of service centers are a big strain on me. I use their commercial line and theres only two service centers in my area...in the whole metropolitan area...only two? There's 5 million people in my area...and again...only two service centers? Both of them are understaffed as well 🤦🏿♂️
A couple of mine will go "dead" in my mower but when i put it on the charger theres a couple bars left
That sounds potentially like overheating
The only EGO tool I've got that overheats the battery is that CSX5000.
@@TechMadeEzyAh! Good point!! Was a particularly humid day and it had rained consecutively for three days so the grass was quite thick......was the first cut of the season and now that I think about it the whole fuel gauge ring was flashing red, instead of just the last bar so that would be an over heating fault, I think.
Last time I cut my yard I BAGGED my clippings (instead of mulching) and they lasted longer and didn't give any faults.
@@John-cj3vewas my push mower mulching pretty thick grass (first cut of the season)
I've never experienced any battery problems with my EGO select cut mower.
But I agree with you about the batteries going 'dead'.
THAT I HAVE experienced in my CSX5000 chainsaw. If I'm making full bar cuts; the saw will 'die' after a few cuts.
The bars on the battery will be red. I then take that battery in the house and put it between my cooling fans for a good half hour. Then it will show 2 or 3 bars left.
I thought the Worx batteries were pricey, mind you those are 20v and not 56v.
Dang at least 1,000.00 worth
Too much information. Don't need to know the model number of every battery and metric weight of each. I'd rather see a chart for weight comparison. Same with the price, a comparison chart would be a better way to understand and great tool to use when buying.
It's more accurate to say the voltage is closer to being the power, the difference in amperage is the amount of time it will run the same load.
Hi Joe
That’s what this channel is all about, more detail, closer look.
But thanks for your comment
DO NOT buy ego. They illegally deny coverage if you don't register your equipment and batteries. You do not have to register a product to have it covered. Their customer service is a nightmare.
