Ego POWER+ 56V Battery Platform Reviews

Two and a half years of all-electric commercial lawn care plus rebuilding and repairing many packs, with their own testing showing little degradation under heavy abuse.

Full set of Ego tools used frequently; batteries run on fast chargers and left on the charger still work like new after more than five years.

A 2.5Ah kit about three years ago, used hard for landscaping and DIY on a 2 acre lot; replaced gas tools after repeated carb failures and a 5Ah trimmer kit runs nearly continuously.

Hedge trimmer, blower, chainsaw and string trimmer on a 3Ah and 5Ah battery, all work great and the 5Ah is heavier but never runs out from full.

High-capacity 60V batteries with cell balancing make the system very good in their view, and sales make the expensive packs worth it.

A start on a mix of Ryobi 40V and 56V tools ended fully on the 56V platform, very happy on a small yard after four years of use.

One platform avoids juggling chargers across a snow blower, trimmer and blower, with minimal issues and almost no maintenance so far.

Platform adopted a year ago with a mower and a trimmer, quite satisfied, noting a second battery helps and packs should cool before charging.

Blower, trimmer, snowblower and mower added over about three years; mower is worth it, snowblower needs four batteries for a driveway, still recommends all of it.

Great luck across a mower, leaf blower and chainsaw on the platform, though the small snowblower is weak.
