Ego battery5/23/2023 Meaning, it is unlikely that you, the consumer, will consult the correct Operator’s Manual (one link below) to “READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS!” and “.obtain the longest possible battery life…” While I have a drawer for printed manuals, I do not have a computer readily available to view the operating manual for the batteries and I suspect most readers will share this setup. The EGO batteries release hydrogen gas when charging, so you likely charge them in a well ventilated area: the garage or your power tools shed. Context: When do you use and discharge your EGO Power+ Batteries?ĮGO Power Plus Battery Prolonged charge when not in use warning. Chevron North America, or EGO, has a campus at 1203 E Warrenville Rd, Naperville, IL, 60563. The brand image, the colors, the product external design are far less like the we’ve come to expect from Chinese-only manufacturers, and far more like US-based companies manufacturing in China. This is not the same Chevron energy company you may think of first, but that may be irrelevant as you likely know them as EGO. A little bit of background.Ĭhevron North America is the US entity of Chevron Trading Co., Ltd (Chevron Group) based out of Nanjing, China. While that information is available in their manuals, the context, conveyance, and continuity of that information is severely lacking. They will discharge to 30% after 30 days and should be relatively healthy for you to use once more when you are ready. The correct method is to unplug them from charging station and leave them alone - for no more than six months. The issue boils down to proper storage of EGO batteries, when they are not in use, for prolonged periods of time - like over winter. I believe Chevron North America (EGO Power Tools) is engaged in a campaign designed to deceive customers into breaking and re-purchasing expensive batteries. In fact with the rapid charger, the 2.5Ah battery takes just 30 minutes.Is EGO Power Tools deceiving consumers into breaking their own batteries? Plus, the fan-cooling system allows the battery to start charging sooner and finish faster.Īs a result, the time it takes to refuel the battery is often less than the run time you get from a full charge. The intelligent battery control system constantly monitors each cell’s power and temperature to deliver the most efficient and quickest charge. When it’s time to recharge, the EGO Power+ rapid charger is the fastest on the market. With a range of battery sizes available from 2.5Ah to 12Ah, and up to 28Ah as a backpack battery, you can choose the power you need to tackle any task. This ensures safe use and provides extended battery life. In EGO batteries, because every cell is monitored, when a specific overheating cell is identified, the entire battery will shut down until it cools down to within the optimum operating parameters. This could also represent a potential safety hazard. If the battery safety system does not shut down the battery pack when an individual cell is overheating it could become damaged beyond repair rendering the entire pack useless. If there are only one or two cells being monitored within a battery pack, it is possible that the hottest cell is not immediately identified. ENSURING SAFETY PROLONGS THE BATTERY LIFETIME
