- EGO Power Inverter
EGO makes awesome outdoor power equipment that most of us use all summer and if you have a snowblower you can use the batteries in the winter. EGO Power+ released a new Nexus Power Inverter that allows us to get some use out of the 56-Volt batteries in the times we are not using them for work. This new power inverter is designed to help you power items in AC 120-Volt under 150 watts. So it will power many consumer items up to a 40" TV. Another way of thinking about that would be that it will power most consumer items that do not make heat. A coffee pot is not something this will power. There are also two USB ports that are 5-volt and will provide a combined power of 4.2 amps.
The estimated cost of this inverter is around $75, but that could change.
Our Uses
We have used this inverter for powering TV's, fans, charging phones, charging drone batteries and also keeping our camera equipment fully charged while on the road. The uses are endless especially if you are an outdoors person who likes to have power with them. Other items that this could be used for is WiFi when the power goes out, small pumps, and LED lighting.
There is little sense to owning these batteries and leaving them to sit during the week. This inverter allows the investment to be used and the potential of the platform to keep evolving and moving forward.
We are looking forward to a fuel gauge on the battery and larger items like this to come in the future!
The store I work at sells Ego products and our Ego product representative mentioned that early 2019 a fuel gauge will be added to their batteries.
We cannot WAIT!!!! :)
yes... got one with my blower and now see they have them out now.
Good nice to know where you can buy one of these items come for them anywhere on eBay or Amazon
My sleep apnea machine only draws 53 watts... I already got a 5.0 ah battery, this is perfect...
It seems like a good idea to have a battery that could run almost any plug in power tool !
It is not "clean" power it is dirty power. This is not a pure sine wave device. I would not advise to run a tv or computer on this not a good idea at all.
Great for power outages. My Milwaukee M18 Floodlight is great for power outage and recharging phones, but the EGO power converter would be a nice addition to run 110v devices. Thanks guys!
I bought the small 140-watt one w/ the inverter. I see you have shop vacuums behind you. Can this setup I have power a small 5gal RIDGID shop vac for 30-60 mins or am I too hopeful?
When power goes out and the only thing we can do is use the phone and data? PERFECT for it.
Would be nice to see the sine wave for the power it's putting out.. Most things that will get plugged in to this (laptop, cell charger, etc) doesn't really mind since it's a switching power supply..
You've inspired a video, I have one of these and I'll try and record the sine wave on a scope. I'm curious too! You're right though, most things this can run have a SMPS for DC devices anyway.
@@colindgrant sounds good... Ego has a little bigger model coming out that they say is pure sine.. Would be interesting to compare..
@@stevenlilly Good to know. It would be nice to have something between this little 150W and the super expensive Nexus base stations.
Apparently 150 watts ain't enough to run a Instabed. My internet search says the instabed is 130 watts... but this thing shuts off almost instantly.
This would be an excellent way to keep the kid's toys charged up and entertained during a blackout.
And to get emergency info also.
They needed to put cables so it can jump your car
Damn good point.
Email the company and give them that idea
That is a good idea, and one that I considered submitting to them also, but I don't think the cells inside these battery packs are designed to put out the large amounts of current needed to start vehicles. The batteries that are inside the jump-starting boxes for example, while having far LESS overall (watt-hour) power capacity, have the ability to deliver very large burst of power all at once. These EGO batteries are designed for a bit less momentary output current, but much longer overall runtimes. 👍
Or a Tire/ air inflater
Thanks! New to Ego with blower purchase, 5AH battery. Glad to see addituon uses. 👍
I have one and it's fine for lamps, fans, etc. Maximum 3.3 amps out, 400 watts. My small 5.8 cu.ft. freeze trips it upon compressor start up. The 3.3 amps is a limiting factor, I wish it was 10 amps out.
I would love to see a furnace using an Ego battery as a backup battery. My Lennox SLP98V uses an ECM fan and inducer so it can run from 35-100% in 1% increments. It seems like it could have an emergency mode that runs at a lower level from a battery. I don’t think this inverter would work as is because the igniter draws a lot of amps when the furnace starts.
That would be cool!
Good song of choice Brian!
I’m waiting on the ego ride mower
Yup, a reasonable price on the mower will get me into the platform if the bigger snowblower gets good reviews this winter. A battery powered riding mower and snow blower on a common lithium platform is the killer combo for me, get rid of 2 annoying, smelly, loud engines.
Can it power a Cpap machine, they ate talking about we are getting ice this week?
I've got a 2024 version and the inverter, and it will not allow me to remove the battery. This is a problem!
Have to see how long it would run a cpap.
I plugged in the modem/router into the 115 outlet and it did not draw enough power and it shut down. So I plugged in a power strip and plugged in a small lamp and internet wifi then it stayed on. They reduced the price to $100 so because I have several EGO tools I stayed with this platform.
Love ego expanding in a new direction.... awesome review, love the channel 👍
I AM NOW! EVEN MORE DETERMINED TO GET ON THE EGO PLATFORM
I think this proves EGO wants to be more than just a Outdoor Power Equipment company.
Exactly
I have almost all the EGO lawn equipment except the mower. I am very pleased with their products, especially their blowers and hedge trimmer.
I have just the mower, small yard about 7k sq feet. It's really awesome, provides a nice cut too. Much better than my husq, and it is a nice husq.
@@WorkshopAddict Can I use a n extension cord for multiple appliances
Any word on an Australian model.. heaps of Aussie campers would be keen on this!! GO EGO!
Would my PA speaker be too much for this?
Shinedown! ~Thanks for the video.
At its price point $115ish-amazon, it’s pretty useless. If it was $30-40 that be different. To charge small devices or power A light or A fan there are better alternatives. Ego has created a much bigger model, however, it’s much much bigger and comes with an astronomical price tag. Ego needs to make a practical 1000 watt, 15 amp model at the $100 price point. They can keep this baby one but it needs to have a economical price.
YES.... I don't get why this hasn't been done already, seems like a no brainer, this is just an overpriced cell phone power pack...
@@Sardonic1981 lololol......so you think running a 42" tv for 15 hours is "just a cell phone charger"This is a poor review of what this is capable of......
Exactly, a 150W inverter is about $8 worth of parts, $20 if they made it with really, really good quality parts with extreme temp ratings, etc.
I think I've used 3 of my 2.5 EGO batteries to depletion...TWICE a day...for the last two years...just to do yard work (big yard!). In other words, they don't just "sit around". BUT...this inverter may be a good alternative, for small jobs, instead of lugging my heavy EGO battery "generator" around.
Just saw this at lowes today, I was actually there to purchase either the 530 or the 650 leaf blower
That would be awesome if they made a bigger one. Something like that but more like the dewalt power station that can power bigger tools like planers... either way its a great start
My gut says something very similar to the Dewalt is coming.
Agreed. At least a 3/8 inch drill. Of course, EGO has their 3k watt generator but cheaper to buy a cordless tool.
We tried running a tower fan while camping with this and the fan plastic near the control buttons on the fan started melting. It also had a very strong electrical smell. Is this because it is square wave not sine wave?
More likely the voltage was low from the inverter. That is NOT good. Send a picture of that to EGO! They owe you a fan
How easy is it to replace the fuse on it?
What are the chances I could us this to power my sun joe dethatcher?
Pertty much zero chance. This is only 150 watt.
@@WorkshopAddict thanx lol I'm horrible with volts etc
I am curious if I could run ( and for how long) my Fluval FX6 Aquarium Filter if my house loses power ? The filter's power consumption is 43watts.
Yes, it has a max of 150 watts. How long, I cannot tell you.
Depends on the battery you got , the 7.5 amps would give you the most time
Shut up and take my money now. Love my dewalt 1800. But this is more a game changer for being portable!!! Got 4 7.5 for snowblower and blower. This will be awesome. I don’t need to watch the entire video. Take my money!!!!
We will be doing a giveaway on this very soon. :)
its mainly good for pwr outage & u wanna charge ur many devices (phones & tablets)/laptop....cuz right now u have ur electricty on atm & access to all ur wall outlets...soooo y use that when u can plug n2 ur wall outlets...thats when this is rlly practicle....when all pwr gets shut off from a major storm.....its nice to have a rlly good source of back up pwr apart from a generator....
I have one, it’s ok but 150 watts doesn’t power very much at all
Why is Milwaukee,Dewalt, rigid, ryobi does not make cordless drywall sanders?
Does it have a fused I plugged in a drill to my EGO Power Plus inverter and I had my finger on the drill trigger and when I plugged it in it made a little Spark now my ego Power Plus doesn't work help HELP HELP
Awesome! I have been looking for a battery solution to run my Nintendo switch dock! this is perrrrfect.
Would this inverter power a CPAP machine?
No, it is too small and also not pure sine wave, so it could damage it.
Any idea when this will be released? Maybe update everyone when it is.
If your batteries are flashing green you have an issue and this seems interesting if you batteries are good
Not with this inverter. Old batteries in the new tools will sometimes flash green.
@@WorkshopAddict Mine is flashing green no stop, did some research its probably a bad PNP transistor in the battery control board, part on order
Is it safe to charge EGO batteries using a regular portable generator(not pure sine wave)
They need an adapter just like this that you can clip on your belt or harness to your back with a 4ft / 56V cable that plugs into it
. . . then plugs your 56V tool . . . instead of having to swing all that weight in your hand(s) . . .e.g. trimmer, edger. pole saw etc. The overall weight of the tool itself is discouraging but what really turns a lot of customers off from buying for sure is the combined weight of the tool and the battery . . . too much. I hear Ego is selling 10ah batteries in AU. is that true ???
Anyone seen a DeWalt battery to fit ego 765 leaf blower?
I want to use this battery for my motor powered kayak
Most likely it will not do it as it can not produce the watts the motor would draw.
@@WorkshopAddict that’s true thanks for your help im going to order that part from Amazon
Where can I buy the actual bank that charge it
impressive
but do you know what is not?
customer service
waiting now for my new battery for 4 weeks the original died after only a year and a half
Waiting for a 12v socket version
Must have a 12 volt outlet
Brian, do you think a small shop vac can run off of this ego inverter? Thanks.
I do not as they are more than 1.25 amps.
Can you take it on a plane internationally?
what size power inverter do i need to in my vehicle to charge my 56 v 5.0 ah battery?
EGO's larger charger that comes with mowers and snowblowers is 550 watts.
A 300 watts should be enough, my truck has a 400 watts and is plenty
could the 7.5 amp hour battery and that 150w interver power a small electric power washer from Harbor Freight.
No, that is too much for it.
I tried it and it doesnt.
would this charge another ego battery?and still have juice in the battery that is charging?
It might, but you lose power in the conversion, so not that great of a use.
If this can power an emergency compressor and power a portable jump starter. This could be the ultimate survival/camping/road emergency tool.
It is too small for a compressor and a jump starter.
12V Inverter with car battery terminals. Less than the volume of a standard RV/Marine deep cycle enclosure.
My ego 56 volt battery is about 4 years old and starting to decline a bit. Is there anything to do for it, short of buying a new one?
No not really. And that's why you dont do battery!!! Cord or gas will be the way for the next 5-10 years... Technology with the power is there in batteries now. But longevity is def not. Nowhere even close!!!
I have one but this is not sinusoidal.
Will there be an Ego space program next?
Can you charge throuh a car cigarette lighter?
Need an adapter to run power wheels.
Nice review. Ego could easily bump up the output from 150 to 400 watts based just on their tool requirements. Also it should be known this is not considered a clean output because this is SQUARE WAVE. This info came directly from EGO.
They did not tell me square wave. WTF
WorkshopAddict it’s not pure sine, most electronics may become damaged and some may not even work, pure sine inverters are expensive
What stores sell the ego batteries?
Lowe’s
So they want that high price for something that's only 150 watts? I can get a 1000 watt inverter for that. Absolutely insane and will be highly marked down soon as it will definitely be a sales failure
Do you think it would power an Epson projector?
No, I do not think it would safely do it.
No, I do not think it would safely do it.
No, I do not think it would safely do it.
great vid keep up the great content
Nice accessory, unfortunately it just doesn't offer much power. It's a shame because these EGO+ batteries can put out series wattage! Take the smallest 2.5Ah battery for example. It has14 cells in series that are capable of 20A discharge. At a conservative 10A discharge rate, that's 56V * 10A = 560W of continuous power! Even with 80% inverter efficiency that is 450W available from the smallest battery. The 7.5 Ah battery (56V * 10A * 3P * 80% = 1344W) approaches the wattage of a 115V 15A (1440 max permissible) residential outlet, and can probably put out twice that for short bursts.
Is that 150 watt continuous or max?
max
Good vid 👍🏾
How do you charge the battery
To make this a viable option, you really should own another EGO outdoor power tool that would come with a charger.
Are the USB ports QC 2.0 compatible?
Sadly it's not
quevas93 that’s good to know. Not sure where all the expense has come from on this thing. Seems like it’s lacking some items.
This is genius.
I want one of these but I have a hard time seeing why it needs to cost $100.
Don't get it. Old technology now. Milwaukee has a smaller unit and it is the same power.
How many amps can it output? That's my real question.
1.25a
Nice for consumers and burns the cells down more quickly to make us purchase more expensive batteries from EGO. What's cool though is they use industry standard cells so you can repair the batteries yourself. Love EGO and their products, just an observation.
I don't think you can repair EGO cells like other battery packs.
While EGO uses the same cells as others, cells are 'wrapped' in some kind of stuff that they said help cooling by state changing or whatever.
EGO batteries tend to output more power maybe due to better cooling. So if you just put bare cells, most likely they will overheat easily and don't last very long.
@@ksong1496 the 7.5 ah doesn't use state changing to cool the cells because the load is distributed better across the cells lacking a need for the extra cooling. Batteries use a standard samasung cell that's replaceable.
You mean 2.5 and 5Ah ones have that but 7.5 ones don't? That's something I didn't realize. Well, come to think of that, I only saw 2.5Ah ones and didn't see 7.5Ah ones.
If that's the case, then 7.5Ah ones might be more repairable than lower capacity ones.
@@ksong1496 yes sir that seems to be the case
They didn't put a light on it. Smh
A small LED would have been a great addition.
You guys need to do a review of Ridgid's drywall screw gun the most amazing screw gun on the market I believe.
I do not do drywall so hard to do....
There is something that needs to be said. Ego batteries are very expensive and fail too quick. I have 3 Ego batteries and 7 Sthil batteries that are easly 2 years older than the Ego. 2 of the Ego batteries are nearly useless and all of the Sthil batteries are going well. I have a couple of thousand dollars worth of Ego stuff and now I am in a real tricky situation on what to do next?
Is this pure sine wave?
It is not.
Can you jump a car with the ego?
Oh nice a battery bank. Is it RSA approved? X-)
That is das efx playing on the radio
That's neat
Wind power, solar, and batteries. Welcome to the future.
I believe we will continue to get more power out of smaller batteries!
Hope it can run a sleep apnoea machine get better sleep camping
too small
the battery that's hooked up to adapter
Power just went out. I plugged in a common house fan (ego inverter).... the fan ran for 5 seconds and stopped. Now, the power is back on, I plug that fan into an outlet....it is broken. I then get a similar fan, plug THAT into the EGO and now THAT fan is broken. I felt that, surely, these weak ass fans wouldn't stress the battery.... but why would it BREAK the fan? Do these cheap fans have a fuse or something? Just don't know, by what mechanism, this would literally ruin a simple fan.
Hmm. This would be great for camping. Also I'm sure they will hear the people begging for a fuel gauge on there batteries and release it soon... Hopefully lol
Many have been begging for a battery gauge for years.
Always fun when you go out to mow and it says green and then it goes red in 5 minutes
@@lichking1951 Been there many times.
Let's go ryobi
No 12v lighter socket? C'mon EGO!
Who uses 12V anymore..??
Cars rvs. Boats
Why would you want this if you DON'T have Ego tools ..??
I’m upset. My two 56 volt Ego batteries don’t work any more. They won’t charge. It’s very very very expensive to replace them 🤬
How old are they EGO's have a amazing warranty !!
JeeperJimbo 1990 no, I called. Although the warranty is 8 years, if you bought them years ago is not being honored. So the warranty is meaningless 🤬
@@constancelovejoy7308 I'm sorry your going threw that I had a problem last year e-mailed exsplaining how my battery life dropped drastically on one of my batteries they game me a reference number apology letter with a prepaid mailing label to print out ... taped it onto a box and with in 3 days got a e-mail that the battery was in fact defective again they were sorry ! They said a new battery would be shipped in 3-5 business days the next day FedEx delivered the new battery ... This wasn't a newer unit either my weed eater and blower are going on there 5th season now and this was last year that I had a battery issue ...
JeeperJimbo 1990 good 4 u! Over the phone they were polite but told me my time was up 😡 Instead I bought their new leaf blower. My older Ego leaf blower works just fine. But it costs about the same to by a new battery as a new leaf blower with battery & charger. EGO is a such a scam 🤬
@@constancelovejoy7308 As mush as i love my EGO's i do agree with you 129.00 for a battery is ridiculous I could see 70-80 bucks tops ! The 130 is over priced !!
wow
OMFG ....
The questions that are asked in here ... Makes me wonder how society survives on a daily basis ... Oh thats right, Alexa to the rescue, why not ask alexa if you can power your house with this ...
Its true, they ask Alexa for everything else ..
Alexa. What does omfg mean?
Frankly disappointed... my ryobi 150 works alot better. This falls flat where 18v one powers identical item with no problems
I will looking for this to hit the market. I want one. #WORKSHOPADDICT
this isn't clean power, it does a modified sinewave, not a pure sine wave, garbage for electronics.
It is junk don't buy it, out dated..
I don't know. I am a little disappointed with Ego. The cut quality on my 21" is so-so at best. I have the powerhead system and have been waiting for new attachments and nothing..... They did come out with their hedge trimmer attachment for the powerhead but why? They already had 2 models of hedge trimmers available and both are cheaper than the one for the powerhead! I sent them an email over a year saying I'd really love a 30" mower that ran on two batts, they come out with a 21" that takes 2 batts, once again who the hell asked for that? I now have 3x 7.5ah batts it's not hard to swap a battery out, in fact, it's easier than having to go get a gas can and refueling an ICE mower.
I want to see a power rake/ sweeper attachment for the powerhead not to mention maybe a mini snow blower attachment for doing my sidewalks and steps. A bed edge shaper for the powerhead would be super sweet.
I have been told next year will be a big year.
That's good to hear.
John, creating small equipment that operate at the power levels we're talking about on electricity isn't easy to do. So my guess is they gave us the 21" dual battery with upgraded 1200 watt motor to see how out in the real world with their customer base how their new engineering works. Once it's proofed by their customers we'll see larger walk behinds. I have zero issues out of my 21" 1000 watt single battery and as far as I know they're not looking to create push mowers that are bush hogs so it only makes sense that we are the guinea pigs to see how it does. You have to think too with the way battery cell technology works having a 1200 watt mower using two batteries versus one means you get peak performance for way longer. If you just have one battery drawing power it can only distribute that load across the cells so much before it has to throttle down due to thermals. Now Ego has done a GREAT job with increasing that deficiency in lithium ion technology, however load balancing across 2 batteries makes that efficiency leaps and bounds better. So long story short my 1000 watt mower isn't capable of running at 1000 watts for Nearly as long as that 1200 watt is capable of running at 1200 watts (because of the dual batteries). This tells me that something larger is coming and that platform is a test to see how the newly engineered power system works with the current mower body.
You and I most likely have the same mower. There have been times when I completely blow off cutting the backyard until it gets ridiculous. The ego has never had a problem cutting through even 10" grass. I just don't see a huge market for the double battery unit unless you are shooting towards the commercial market or towards people with larger lawns. However, in both situations, the dual battery unit is a fail. Neither commercial nor large lot residential customers are not going to want a 21" plus they are not selling the mower with dual 7.5's only the 5ah batts. Secondly, the price point of the mower is way out of line when compared to the Toro mowers which are the industry standard for quality of cut (not to mention the Toro mowers are available in wide cut models). I predict that the dual battery 21" mower will be discontinued by the end of 2019 due to poor sales.
