Battery power for garden and groundcare tools has been around for
some time now.
However, it’s only since the advent of powerful lithium-ion
batteries that electric power could really become a serious contender against
petrol two-stroke.
Now, a new generation of lithium-ion products has arrived and ECHO
outdoor power tools are at the forefront with their new range of 58 Volt
battery products.
This includes a battery hedgetrimmer, trimmer, lawn mower, power
blower and chainsaw for semi-professional and domestic use.
When you consider the benefits of electric power, it’s easy to see
why it has grown so quickly since lithium-ion batteries became commercial. The
obvious features are batteries that produce the same power as petrol engined
tools, with no exhaust emissions and without the need to store petrol and mix
two-stroke. No effort is required to get started. You just charge and go,
cutting, trimming, blowing leaves and mowing with virtually no noise or
vibration.
Today’s 58V batteries are designed to give you more than enough
power in constant use to carry out most tasks. The ECHO interchangeable battery
system is available with two options, 2Ah and 4Ah.
The hedgetrimmer, trimmer and power blower come with a standard
2Ah battery but if you’re looking for a longer run time you have the option of
a 4Ah battery, and remember, you only need the one.
Recharging is fast with the Quick Charger, ensuring 30 minutes
charging time for the 2Ah and 60 minutes for the 4Ah, and you can always buy a
spare battery as a back-up if required. Buy the chainsaw or mower and they come
with a 4Ah battery as standard, so you would have the benefit of the extra run
time for other products you might need.
ECHO battery products are built to the same professional standards
as all their products, so they are solid, durable and ergonomic. As there are
no moving parts no engine servicing is required, which means there is another
cost saving in addition to no longer needing to buy petrol.
ECHO 58V lithium-ion battery products come with a two-year
domestic or one-year professional warranty and there is a two-year warranty on
the batteries.
