Works fast

worked great as a replacement charger for my lawn mower. Very fast charging.

EGO would not allow the item I purchased to be registered.Als, the item was dated 2018However, the item appeared to be unused and has worked.

It powers up the battery quickly

This charger is a lot better than the standard one that came with the Ego tools I bought. It not only charges my batteries faster, but it also has a "fuel" gauge which will show a battery's level of charge. I like that feature as Ego batteries and tools do not have that feature except for a few tools and the battery letting one know when they reach 15%, and I like that I can always be able to compare my batteries's condition as they age. This charger also has a fan to keep the batteries cool when charging them. As a result, the charger can be a little loud. I keep my batteries and charger in my house so that they are stored and charged in a climate controlled environment as temperature extremes are hard on lithium ion batteries.I definitely like having a second rapid charger as I bought the snow blower with two 5 ah batteries. Having a second rapid charger allows me to charge a second set of batteries while using another set. I have a total of five 5 ah batteries. While I have only had one use of my snow blower that required two sets of batteries, it is nice to be able to charge sets of batteries as fast as I can use them.

Quick charge and powerful. There are no negatives at this time. I will have that information when it is put to use. I will be looking at work time relative to product specifications.
