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.

I just got my two batteries today on a 5 week backorder. The date codes on both are from January 2022. Quite ticked off with Amazon. They are dumping very old stock. These are being sent back.
Those are ARC Lithium batteries, EGO advertises the shelf life to be up to 10 years: "Due to their high capacity, all EGO batteries can be stored unattended for a minimum of 10 years without damaging capacity and cycle performance. After 30 days batteries discharge to 30% capacity (to ensure longevity." (https://egopowerplus.eu/faqs)

Alleged shelf life does not equal Warranty length of 3 years. Big difference. Go read all the complaints about EGO not honoring warranties. Read the complaints of EGO running out the clock on consumers who have bad batteries. I own Milwaukee for almost all my power tools. Never seen one single battery from Home Depot, Max Tools, International Tool, Acme Tools or any other which shipped old batteries.
Why does EGO has a huge glut of these batteries sitting around for a year and half? Maybe you should ask that question.

I'm not saying that EGO produces good batteries, but with my limited knowledge about arc lithium battery technology, I'd accept the 1.5 years' shelf life, whether or not EGO would honor warranties, it's another issue, not on the battery itself, you wouldn't be in a better position if you get a recently manufactured battery, say January 2023 if EGO doesn't honor warranties.
Mine also had a January 2022 date code. Not too worried (that's what warranties are for, right?) but will charge it up and then try it out on my blower to make sure it works and holds up. Then I'll register it.
