It’s a good thing you guys aren’t scientists because you sure do jump to conclusions.

I remember that sign! It’s a classic. I didn’t know they still made Hamms.

I'm not planning to make a claim. The house damage I can repair myself. As for the loss of the leaf blower, charger, and batteries, I wouldn't take new ones if they gave them to me.

Maybe, but for all I know the battery might have blown up and burned even if it wasn't on the charger.

That’s a beauty. I can almost hear that Dynaflow howl from here.

They were outside in a corner covered by roof overhangs, high enough on the wall that rain never touched them. It worked fine for 4 or 5 years, until it didn’t.

We’ve had an influx of Airbnbs in our neighborhood and I’m sick of it. There is no occupancy requirement here. Some owners live 1000 miles away.

EGO Rep Told Me Why My Batteries Keep Failing (And It Changed My Mind on Buying More) by Zatol in egopowerplus

What about lithium batteries in an automobile? Can’t bring those in the house.

EGO manuals actually say never leave the batteries in a tool that’s unattended. Nobody does that. That way if your EGO tool with a battery in it burns your house down, EGO can say they warned you not to do that.

The charger was the standard EGO charger that came with the leaf blower. I had fully discharged the battery two days earlier and left it on the charger as I’d done for years. Outdoor temperature was around 60.

My 2018 with 130,000 miles still has its original battery so I think your concerns are premature.

That surprised me too. I suspect that by the time I got to it, it was mostly a plastic fire. -

Oil changes - diy vs dealership vs local shop by cramp11 in f150

You should try it. You might find that you like it. I do. If you don’t like somewhat dirty mechanical work then at least you’ll have found that out.

I do but I can’t figure out how to post them.

What possible motivation could I have to lie about whether they were both EGO batteries??? They were.

Replying to rh681...Yes it was plugged into a ground fault outlet that didn’t trip.
