it's expired now, but it's common for ego tools to go on sale in that range, battery included.

It rarely makes sense to buy "tool only" or "battery only" deals.

The tool+battery deals include a charger, and are often close to the price of just the battery.

I have 5 ego batteries from a weed eater, self-propelled mower, backpack blower, the high-CFM handheld blower, and the original blower that failed on me in the winter (they had a design flaw that caused static electricity to build up and damage the motor control circuit...Ego ignored my warranty claim, didn't even call or email me back....not thrilled about that).

I've had most of the equipment, except the high-CFM blower, for over 5 years now, and all of the batteries still work. I've had 1 charger quit working, but I have 4 more, including a fast charger.

I think I paid ~$230 for the backpack blower w/5.0Ah battery (open box) @ HD like 3 years ago.

Other than the static issue on the v1 handheld blower, all of it has held up. The leaf blowers get a ton of use in the fall, ~1.5 acres of maples, oaks, and hickory trees...it's literally 3 weekends of leaf blowing, lawn sweeping, and burning of leaves.

I have the edger which used 2.5Amp battery. I blew my battery , would this battery be ok with it? I am looking at a combo deal with tools but wanted to make sure my current equipment will work with new battery.

Ego has maintained 100% compatibility with their batteries, all the way back to 1st gen. Same voltage, same connectors, same charge cycles.

The newer batteries have fancier electronics that might improve battery efficiency, and show you a more detailed view of the overall charge level, etc., but they all fit and work.

The only real exception to that is some equipment may not handle a grossly smaller or larger capacity battery, either for practical purposes, or due to limited space. E.g., a 7.5Ah battery would fit on a handheld leaf blower, but would make it extremely heavy so nobody is realistically gonna do that. Likewise, the 2Ah that's commonly included with the string trimmer and handheld leaf blowers would be a poor choice for the lawnmower, you will get maybe 5-10 mins mowing time max (and it may overheat or not be able to produce the same peak current as a larger pack).

Thanks for the insight! My current edger is using 2 amps battery. The string trimmer combo has 4 amps battery included. I guess I should be ok but just might be little hard to handle. I don't edge that many times anyway!

I'm looking at their ad on Ace Hardware, and it says All Ego Batteries Power All Ego Tools.

Is "HOSALESHOP" even an authorized seller? Personally I'd never buy an expensive dice battery pack unless it was covered under manufacturer warranty…
Buying stuff like this on Amazon (basically eBay BIN) is sketchy as hell.

Review from 2023
"
Product failed before end of Ego warranty period.
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2023
Style: 5.0 Ah Battery
Bought new on Amazon. Product failed before end of Ego warranty period. Ego said because seller was not authorized under their policy they would not replace battery. Amazon should make it clear what are authorized sellers on their site and Ego as well. Willl take my business elsewhere . I believe this is a misrepresentation of the warranty policy as this information is not readily available upon purchase but is nested in multiple layers of fine print. Not a happy Ego customer.

I have loved Ego. Mower, weed eater, blower, hedge trimmer, chainsaw, snow blower. I've got them all. Have yet to experience a problem with the tools. But I have had 2 5aH batteries go bad. Both were just outside the 1 year warranty. I would guess that each was maybe used a total of 20 times before dying.

Ego did replace one battery after several conversations with support (I was like 2 weeks outside the warranty window). The other battery failed at around 14 months and they told me I was out of luck.

Batteries are stored inside year round. And I rotate pretty heavily (have a total of 6 batteries - 3 of which are 5 or 7.5).

Love the tools but have had less than a stellar experience with batteries. Considering their cost I expect them to last for many years. $400 worth of failed batteries hurts.

I have had a different experience. Loved the tool (mower) until it started randomly shutting down. Maybe some safety relay, I don't know. I can't tell you, because nobody could fix it. Reviews for HD (back in the day when they handled it) were terrible: multi-month wait. Took it to an authorized repair center, 1.5 hours away. Was without a mower for almost 2 months, after which, they just gave me a replacement mower. While all this is going on, my battery was really showing the sign of age, and after 3+ years (past warranty) it can barely hold charge. Which is ok, I didn't baby it, I wanted to use a mower and not worry about it. But replacement is almost as much as a new mower. That's insane. So, while your tool works, great. As soon as you have a problem, I am not sure repair/warranty is that great. And I don't know too many people who stock replacement mowers in their garage. So what do you do when you don't have your mower for a month and a half? Any honda, you can repair it at a dozen places, usually a few days. Or yourself. Proprietary batteries that cost more than the tool. I don't know. I am not saying EGO is bad, I am just saying "know what you're getting into".
