Be wary that the Lowes Protection Plan does not fully cover batteries. Batteries are viewed as consumable. Per the T&C, batteries are considered a "Performance part" and you only get 50% off with a cap of $100 per year. So, that $500 battery is going to cost you $400.

I got it home and found the one original battery was dead. I charged up the other three and added in another 10 Ah battery I already had. The basic functions (driving, lights, etc.) all worked fine. When I engage the deck, it kicks an overload warning within two seconds. The deck is clear, so that's not promising. I had a similar issue with a refurb snow blower from them, and it required replacement. I'm going to let the remaining snow and ice melt, and with temperatures due to rise by the end of the week, I'll give it another shot this weekend. I doubt if the other mower at that store will sell due to the lack of batteries, so I can try swapping out for that one if need be. If that one runs properly, maybe I get them to knock off more for the dead battery.

It's not surprising EGO is already denying battery warranty requests for folks who just bought this z6 at Lowes' discount. If you file a BBB complaint and also with your state consumer agency, EGO might comply but take months to send battery replacement.
NMC vs LiFePO4 batteries.
A Lithium Iron Phosphate battery is a type of rechargeable battery that uses lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) as its cathode material and carbon graphite for its anode. These batteries offer high safety and are highly stable in high-temperature environments.
LFP has a nominal voltage of 3.2V per cell. LFP is the safest type of lithium battery because it has extremely low thermal runaway. LFP also has a long lifespan with up to 8000 cycles at 100% depth of discharge (DOD).
Ni-Mn-Co Battery
Ni-Mn-Co is a type of lithium-ion battery that uses nickel, manganese, and cobalt as its main materials. They are suitable for applications where high capacity is required, such as electric vehicles, power tools, and consumer electronics.
NMC batteries have a nominal voltage of 3.6v per cell and have good power performance due to their higher operating voltage compared to other chemistries. NMC batteries typically have about 500-700 cycles at 100% DOD, making them half as durable as LFP battery.

You just have to go in app and change zip code. It only shows you 2 or 3 stores.
Starts after the manufacturer's limited warranty ends. So..that is a grey area, if the product has no warranty.
And it does NOT cover batteries. Those are considered "performance parts".
