re: Deciding on EGO blower

I have the lower powered one, and the string trimmer too. I’ve had them for 4 years now. They both came with the 2.5Ah batteries. After the first season I noticed they didn’t quite last as long as they did the first season, but they were still enough between the two batteries to last the full trim and blowing everything off. My yard is a little over 1/2 an acre. At the beginning of this season I bought a knock off 5Ah battery off of Amazon for half the price of an EGO one and it’s been working fine so far. I can do the hole yard on that one battery. I still use the 2Ah batteries every now and then just to keep them as fresh as possible.

They stay in my garage, definitely not the best environment for a battery with all the heat so that might have contributed to the loss of run time on the original batteries.
