The tools work great. The convenience of electric is super. But I am mad I am going to have to drop $500 already on some new batteries. There is no way I would even come close to $500 of gas at this point.
I'm not saying don't go electric/EGO, just be aware that you will be replacing these batteries MUCH FASTER than you anticipate. Don't go electric because you think it will be cheaper in the long run - it won't be.

To give some background - I have a 7.5Ah battery that came with my Ego mower, and three 2.5Ah batteries that came with various tools. I have a big lawn and the 7.5Ah by itself doesn't suffice. I had figured that the three 2.5Ah batteries combined will give me as much juice as the 7.5Ah. But it's not even close. It's not a problem when the grass is short and dry. But if the grass is even slightly wet or even slightly tall, all three 2.5Ah batteries overheat extremely fast on the mower. I barely make one back and forth lap on the lawn that the lower capacity batteries are done for the day. Once they overheat I have to wait for the larger battery to finish charging again. The point is - I've been disappointed with lower capacity ego batteries. On paper 2.5x3 =7.5. But practically it doesn't work the same way. I don't get 100% more with the 3 batteries - maybe 20% more. I do wonder whether in that respect the 4Ah will truly give 53% of the 7.5Ah battery, or whether it's practical capacity will be reduced drastically like the 2.5Ah ones.

$130 for a highly rated (well reviewed) 5.0 Ah battery is… maybe not the worst idea I've ever had.
We'll see.
My 2 and 2.5's still seem to carry a decent charge. (As does my 10.0 that came with my mower.)
With that said I made the switch to ego about 6 years ago. I like the products but I have had 4-5 batteries go bad. I get about 3 years out of one. If I could go back I would not have made the switch.

I have an early model mower and it worked great when I first got it. Now I have some issues:
1) pressing the handle still moves the mower forward, but only at a base speed. The speed gauge no longer works and regardless of what setting it is on (fastest setting down to the slowest), it only moves at the base speed.
2) it isn't doing the best job cutting the grass anymore. Also terrible striping and coverage patterns. I bought a new ego mower blade, the 'high lift' one meant for creating for air flow and lifting the grass into the bag, and it helped a TINY bit, but still not that impressive.
Is my mower battery being old having an impact on performance? Should I consider getting a new mower next year?
