EGO battery advice
Posted on 2/12/25 at 12:16 pm

Anyone know if older EGO gardening tools are compatible with new EGO batteries. I'm down to one battery 56v 2.0ah and it is on it's last leg. I see newer, stronger, longer lasting batteries for sale but not sure if they are compatible with my old chargers and equipment. Any advice is much appreciated.

I have an old battery used for my blower. It has a lot of green on it and started to fail. I found a mower on FB market with a green battery and a newer black one for $200. I sold the mower with the green battery for $200 and kept the new black battery. It seems to be the same and works with my old tools.

If it is the same voltage, it should work. You might be able to find an aftermarket battery on Amazon that will save some big bucks. I have the 56V ego tools also.

Thanks to both of you! I thought that was the case but wanted to hear from people with experience.

I don't think EGO has changed their voltage for their batteries, and I'm assuming they want it to be a long-term buy with the tools. Everything I've seen is 56V. They just have some higher Ah because the tools they generally come with require more amperage to run tougher jobs for longer. I can't use the full speed on my 2 Ah battery with my upgraded leaf blower or it drains the battery in a minute, but I can use it on my weed eater for the amount of time I need.
As mentioned, you're probably better off with getting a new tool that has a big battery and trying to sell the tool for a good cash back. The batteries themselves are much more expensive to purchase outright.
I'd also suggest registering your tools and batteries if you haven't done so. Batteries for 3 years, tools/equipment for 5 years. I believe you can actually have a guarantee of up to 90% of the battery power for those 3 years. I can be wrong on the percentage, but they do degrade over time. 90% of a battery on my mower cuts run time down from 60 minutes to 54 minutes. Not the worst.
