Advanced Technology Starts With A Cooler Battery For EGO Power+ Outdoor Equipment

CHICAGO, May 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- EGO Power+, the first complete line of cordless outdoor power equipment that performs equal to or better than traditional gas powered lawn equipment, has literally broken the mold to create a patented lithium-ion battery platform that optimizes design and technology to deliver long-lasting power, rapid charging and durability in all weather conditions. The EGO Power+ battery, easily distinguished by its unique arc shape, recharges completely in as little as 25 minutes. EGO Power+ equipment is available exclusively at The Home Depot.

"Our first step in shattering perceptions of cordless outdoor equipment was to elevate power and performance," said Joe Turoff, vice president of sales and marketing at Chervon.  "Battery design and technology in this category were largely unchallenged until we set audacious performance goals and dropped limits of conventional thinking."

Heat is the number one enemy of battery power output negatively impacting operating lifetime. The EGO Power+ battery introduces chemical, electronic and mechanical design advancements that sharply reduce heat and propel performance to new levels.

"The arc shape provides more surface cooling area while, inside the battery, phase change material coats each cell, cooling them in use and advanced monitoring software panels unite to deliver unprecedented heat reduction that translates to power and performance unseen in past generations of cordless outdoor equipment," said Turoff.

Old brick-style batteries allow heat to build and slowly degrade the cells until the battery runs out, resulting in inconsistent and poor performance. The new EGO Power+ battery maintains full power output and performance levels until the battery is discharged. Battery recharging, formerly taking an hour or longer, is now reduced to as little as 25 minutes.

The revolutionary EGO Power+ battery platform is integrated with of the complete EGO product line, including lawnmower, string trimmers, blower, hedge trimmer and chainsaw, allowing easy battery transfer from one piece of EGO Power+ equipment to another.
