Choosing the Right Battery for Your Needs
1. Light-Duty Users (Homeowners with Small Yards):
- Best Options: BA1120T or BA1400T (2.5Ah)
- Why: Lightweight, fast charging, ideal for trimming, edging, or quick cleanups.
2. Moderate Yard Work (Up to 1/2 Acre):
- Best Options: BA2800T (5.0Ah)
- Why: Perfect balance of runtime and weight for mowers and blowers.
3. Heavy-Duty Homeowners / Landscapers:
- Best Options: BA4200T or BA5600T
- Why: More watt-hours for longer mowing and blowing without frequent recharges.
4. Commercial/Extended Runtime Needs:
- Best Options: BA6720T or BHX1000 Backpack Battery
- Why: These provide the longest runtimes and are suited for the EGO Z6 and pro-grade tools.

Rapid Charger vs Standard Charger
EGO offers two main charger types:
- Standard Charger (CH2100): Good for overnight charging or light use.
- Rapid Charger (CH5500): Essential for fast turnarounds, charges most batteries in under an hour.
If you plan to run your equipment often or for longer periods, investing in a rapid charger is worthwhile.
Compatibility Across All Tools
One major advantage of EGO’s battery lineup is universal compatibility. All 56V batteries work across all EGO Power+ tools. Whether you’re using a trimmer, chainsaw, blower, or mower, you can swap batteries in and out freely.

- Avoid extreme temperatures: Store in a cool, dry area.
- Clean terminals to ensure good contact with the tool.
FAQs
What is the difference between EGO batteries?
All EGO batteries operate on a 56V platform and are compatible across all EGO tools. However, they differ mainly in:
- Capacity (Ah): Ranges from 2.0Ah to 28.0Ah or more. Higher Ah = longer runtime.
- Watt-Hours (Wh): Total energy output (Voltage × Amp-Hours). More Wh = more work done per charge.
- Weight: Bigger batteries are heavier, and important for handheld tools.
- Charge Time: Larger batteries take longer to charge unless using a rapid charger.
- Ideal Use Case: Smaller batteries are better for handheld tools; larger ones suit mowers and blowers.
Model | Ah | Wh | Weight | Best For |
---|---|---|---|---|
BA1120T | 2.0Ah | 112Wh | 2.6 lbs | Trimmers, edgers |
BA2240T | 4.0Ah | 224Wh | 4.4 lbs | Blowers, saws |
BA4200T | 7.5Ah | 420Wh | 6.4 lbs | Mowers, longer runtime tools |
BHX1000 | 28Ah | 1568Wh | 18 lbs | All-day pro use |

What is the longest lasting EGO battery?
The BHX1000 Backpack Battery is currently the longest-lasting EGO battery, with 28.0Ah / 1568Wh capacity.
- Provides up to a full workday of runtime with compatible tools.
- Ideal for commercial landscaping crews or the EGO Z6 riding mower.
For non-commercial users, the BA6720T (12.0Ah) is the top-tier standalone battery for runtime.
What is the difference between a 6.0 Ah and a 7.5 Ah battery?
Feature | 6.0 Ah (BA3360T) | 7.5 Ah (BA4200T) |
---|---|---|
Capacity | 6.0 amp-hours | 7.5 amp-hours |
Watt-Hours | ~336Wh | ~420Wh |
Weight | ~6.0 lbs | ~6.4 lbs |
Runtime | Medium | 20–25% longer |
Use Case | Mid-size mowers | Larger tools, longer jobs |
In summary: The 7.5Ah battery lasts about 20–25% longer than the 6.0Ah model but is slightly heavier.
What is the difference between EGO 4.0Ah and 5.0Ah battery?
Feature | 4.0 Ah (BA2240T) | 5.0 Ah (BA2800T) |
---|---|---|
Watt-Hours | 224Wh | 280Wh |
Weight | 4.4 lbs | 5.0 lbs |
Charge Time | ~80 mins / 35 mins | ~100 mins / 40 mins |
Runtime | Moderate | 25% longer |
The 5.0Ah version gives a noticeably longer runtime, making it better for mowing and extended tool usage.
Which is better, 2.0 Ah or 4.0 Ah battery?
- 2.0Ah (BA1120T):
- Lightweight (2.6 lbs)
- Great for short, light-duty tasks (trimming, edging)
- Fast to recharge
- 4.0Ah (BA2240T):
- Doubles runtime
- Better for leaf blowers, chainsaws, and longer use
- Slightly heavier
The 4.0Ah battery is better for most users due to longer runtime and broader tool compatibility. The 2.0Ah is good only if weight or short bursts of use are top priorities.
How many years will EGO batteries last?
EGO batteries typically last:
- 3–5 years with regular residential use
- 800–1,000 full charge cycles
- EGO provides a 3-year limited warranty on batteries
Tips to Extend Lifespan:
- Avoid leaving batteries in the charger after they’re full.
- Store in cool, dry environments.
- Don’t leave batteries in direct sun or extreme cold.
