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.

It might be some batches are just bad, or maybe the older batteries had better QC/suppliers than what they are using now.

Meanwhile my decades old Honda gas mower and weed trimmer keep going strong year after year, and NOT filling up landfills like the garbage touted here as good for the environment. I was even able to buy a top of the line, 2 year old Honda mower last year for $150 because of another idiot getting rid of it to "upgrade" to some cheaply made, designed to fail in 3 years or less cheap electric toy. Now I have a backup to my old mower!
What the government needs to do is MANDATE standards like they have in Europe so you can buy the best battery and can use the same one in multiple tools. Problem solved with proprietary connections even between the same company. Same issue with the "green" Apple using proprietary everything and Europe reigning that in. They are like Sony in the 80's and 90's.
I for one love my electric tools, they save a ton of time, weight, and are low to no maint. The problem is with the Gillette razors -- aka the proprietary batts. The other issue is the electronics/control boards which are only made for a few years so you can't really repair them--but again a government "green" mandate on supply like they have for GSA could solve this.
Also new battery chemistries will make them much better than Li-ion to LMC/LFP etc which can handle temperature extremes better than today's batts.
I have an Ego Mower. Will this battery work in it?
And will it work with this edger and trimmer? B/c I want to replace my old black and decker one.

Batteries dont like being too hot or too cold. They dont like being over 80% or under 20% charged. If you can make an effort to follow these rules, your batteries will last way longer. I just had a battery totally die this year, but i think i got water into the controller. The other battery still holds at least 80% of its original charge.
So what you say are all excellent practices 100%, I wouldn't stray away from the Ego fast charger.

I have other EGO tools & batteries so had been using the 5.0A instead of the 2.5A this year. Thankfully, I tried it recently and made the cut to replace it for free.
