The Backpack Link is a universal system allowing the user to put the weight of any EGO battery on your back rather than on the tool or in your hand for convenience. Cordless electric string trimmers are a conven… I too had a battery issue with the blower I reviewed—after the review ran. I couldn’t tell if the issue was the battery or the charger, but I was told they would send a new battery regardless—which I received a few days later.
I’d left the trimmer on the ground and I accidentally stepped on just the plastic trigger snapping it off right at the housing. No problem I thought, I’ll order a replacement. Opened it up, removed the plastic trigger, looked online for the part number and found out that Ego wouldn’t sell the part to me.
The trimmer strap is designed specifically for use with all EGO POWER+ 15″ string trimmers and the EGO POWER+ multi-head system. Yes, model number AP1500 is compatible with all EGO string trimmers. The EGO POWER+ Backpack Link adds more run time and less weight to your EGO tools.
The battery will hold its power for 30 days, so there’s no worry if it has been sitting for a while. The battery can also be left in the charger—it won’t overcharge. The build quality of most of the battery operated chainsaws, trimmers, blowers that I’ve held do not feel very skookum. There’s not really a mower designed to cut that kind of land, and I’d have to have more trimmer/blower batteries than I’d like to pay for. I’d like to see them bring out an attachment system capability with the CF shaft but I wonder how the real weight savings over the AL shafted products actually is. No more mixing gas and oil but still having the power.
This includes a 5-year tool warranty and a 3-year battery warranty. The POWERLOAD String Trimmer is much, much quieter than my gas trimmer and it also doesn’t vibrate my arms into numbness like the gas model does. It’s great that technology today allows a battery trimmer that matches the power of a gas model. After using the EGO for many days, I can’t imagine going back to my gas trimmer. Whereas the other EGO straight shaft trimmer has the motor at the battery and a drive shaft.
Anyway I can edge the whole property and trim all I need to (around the house – front landscaping – etc) all on one battery charge. Yes I admit if you had more you might want to invest in another battery and they aren’t cheap. I think battery powered stuff is great for people that don’t know how or want to properly maintain gas powered equipment. I think you pay more for that convenience.
I bought this 15″ model when it first came out as initial reviews suggested they finally designed a working head. I use it without the guard as that gives me much more precise control . If you are careful to always work opposite the string rotation direction, it’s not a problem. The trimmer I reviewed comes with a 2.5Ah battery and charger.
The EGO POWER+ 56 Volt Charger boasts industry leading recharge times. In just 50 minutes, a depleted 2.5 Ah battery can be fully recharged with the 56-Volt Charger. Needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
