The corded trimmer was either full power or off. The battery can also be left in the charger-it won’t overcharge.Īlong with my now shelved Stihl gas trimmer, I have an older corded electric trimmer that I’ve almost never used for one main reason-and it’s not the cord. The battery will hold its power for 30 days, so there’s no worry if it has been sitting for a while. I never understood why batteries cost so much when bought separately. Extra batteries can always be purchased, but they are not cheap. Yes, the battery always dies sooner than I like, but the EGO batteries run at full power until they need recharging with no power fade-a great feature. If you already own some EGO products and have enough batteries, the trimmer can be purchased sans battery at a lower price. The trimmer I reviewed comes with a 2.5Ah battery and charger. It’s a good thing I photographed the trimmer when it was new and shiny because after one session, it looked like it has been used for years (see end of review).

The only assembly is attaching the protective debris shield and handle. This shaft arrives folded in two that needs to be straightened and locked down with a provided hex key (allen wrench). Like their other products, the EGO Power+ 15” POWERLOAD String Trimmer is made of durable green and gray plastic housing-except for the carbon fiber shaft. Carbon fiber shaft (with lifetime warranty).
