All EGO Power+ tools and batteries are built on a universal 56V platform, which means every battery fits every tool. However, certain tools may perform better with higher Ah (amp-hour) batteries.
In this guide, we’ll break down EGO battery compatibility in a clear, comprehensive chart. Plus, we’ll explore the difference in battery sizes and best practices.

Notes:
All EGO 56V ARC Lithium™ batteries (2.0Ah to 28.0Ah, including G3-2P and BH1001 backpack) are compatible with all EGO 56V tools.
Recommended batteries are based on optimal runtime and performance for typical use; higher-capacity batteries (e.g., 10.0Ah, 12.0Ah, 28.0Ah) are ideal for commercial or heavy-duty applications.

How to Choose the Right EGO Battery
Here’s how to decide what battery suits your needs:
- Light Duty (Short sessions, light tools): Go for 2.5Ah or 2.0Ah – they’re light and charge quickly.
- Medium Duty (Routine yard work): 5.0Ah or 6.0Ah – great balance of weight and runtime.
- Heavy Duty (Mowers, snow blowers): 7.5Ah, 10.0Ah, or 12.0Ah – longer sessions without recharge.

Compatibility Tips
- All batteries work in all tools. EGO’s 56V ARC Lithium™ platform is designed to be fully cross-compatible.
- Runtime varies. Using a small battery on a power-hungry tool like a mower means shorter operation and more frequent charging.
- Balance weight vs. performance. Larger batteries are heavier, which might feel cumbersome for hand tools like trimmers and blowers.
- Dual-Port tools. Some models (like select snow blowers or zero-turn mowers) can accept two batteries at once for extended power.
Charging Compatibility
EGO batteries charge with:
Charger Model | Compatible Batteries | Charge Time (5.0Ah) | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
CH2100 | All EGO Batteries | ~100 mins | Standard charger |
CH5500 | All EGO Batteries | ~40 mins | Rapid charger (fan-cooled) |
CH7000 | All EGO Batteries | ~35 mins | Super-fast charging (select models only) |

FAQs
Which EGO batteries are interchangeable?
All EGO 56V batteries are interchangeable.
This includes 2.0Ah, 2.5Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah, 6.0Ah, 7.5Ah, 10.0Ah, and 12.0Ah battery models. Every battery works with every EGO Power+ tool built on the 56V ARC Lithium™ platform, which is all EGO tools.

Can you use any EGO battery with any tool?
Yes.
Any 56V EGO battery fits and powers any EGO 56V tool. However, tool performance and runtime will vary depending on the amp-hour (Ah) rating of the battery. For example:
- A 2.5Ah battery will run a mower for ~30–45 minutes.
- A 7.5Ah battery will run the same mower for ~75–90 minutes.
While all combinations are supported, larger tools like mowers and snow blowers benefit from higher-Ah batteries.
Which is better, 2.0Ah or 4.0Ah battery?
4.0Ah is better for runtime and power, but it’s heavier.
- A 2.0Ah battery is great for lightweight tools like hedge trimmers and edgers — it’s light and charges fast.
- A 4.0Ah battery will run twice as long but weighs more, making it better for medium-duty tools like blowers or multi-head systems.
Use 2.0Ah when you want light weight and maneuverability.
Use 4.0Ah when you need more juice per charge.

Can any EGO battery go on any EGO charger?
Yes.
All EGO 56V batteries work with all EGO chargers, including:
- Standard Charger (CH2100)
- Rapid Charger (CH5500)
- Super Charger (CH7000)
Just note that charging speed depends on the charger model:
- Standard charger takes longer (e.g., ~100 mins for 5.0Ah).
- Rapid/Super chargers dramatically reduce charge times.
What is the difference between 6.0Ah and 7.5Ah battery?
The main differences are:
- Capacity & Runtime: 7.5Ah provides 25% more runtime than 6.0Ah.
- Weight: 7.5Ah is slightly heavier (~7.5 lbs vs 6.4 lbs).
- Use Case: Both are good for mowers and high-demand tools, but if you want to go longer between charges, the 7.5Ah is worth it.
Can I use a 5Ah battery instead of 2Ah EGO?
Yes, and it’s often a good idea.
You can replace a 2.0Ah battery with a 5.0Ah one for:
- Longer runtime
- More torque (on some tools)
- Less frequent charging
Just be aware that the 5.0Ah battery is heavier, which might affect handling for handheld tools.
Can you leave EGO battery on charger overnight?
Yes, but it’s not recommended for long-term practice.
EGO batteries and chargers are smart — once the battery is full, charging stops automatically to prevent overcharging. So leaving it overnight occasionally is safe.
However, for battery longevity, it’s best to:
- Remove the battery after it’s fully charged.
- Avoid long idle periods on the charger.
Can EGO batteries be repaired?
Not officially by EGO.
EGO does not service or repair batteries, and opening the case voids the warranty. However:
- If your battery fails within warranty (3 years residential / 1 year commercial), EGO may replace it.
- Some third-party repair techs may offer battery repairs, but this is unofficial and could be risky.
Tip: If your battery won’t charge, try the “reset” trick:
- Remove the battery from the charger.
- Let it cool (if hot).
- Plug and unplug the charger while inserting the battery slowly.
- Try a different charger or outlet.
