EGO Power+ Tool Two LEDs Flashing Red: How to Fix It

Q: How long does it take for an EGO battery to cool down?

Most EGO batteries need 30-60 minutes to cool down from normal use. Batteries that are extremely hot from heavy-duty work or hot weather may need up to 90 minutes to reach safe operating temperature.

Q: Can I use my EGO tool in cold weather?

EGO tools can operate in temperatures down to 32°F (0°C), but battery performance decreases in cold weather. If stored in freezing conditions, bring the battery to room temperature before use to avoid the two red LED error.

Q: What temperature range is safe for EGO batteries?

EGO batteries operate safely between 32-104°F (0-40°C). Storage temperature should be between 32-77°F (0-25°C) for optimal battery life. Extreme temperatures outside these ranges trigger the safety protection.

Q: Why does my EGO battery get hot during use?

Battery heating during heavy use is normal as the cells generate heat under load. However, excessive heat from prolonged high-demand tasks can trigger the temperature protection. Allow cooling breaks during intensive work.

Q: Is it safe to charge an EGO battery that was showing temperature error?

Yes, once the battery has returned to normal temperature and the red LEDs stop flashing, it's safe to charge. The EGO charger also has temperature monitoring and won't charge batteries that are too hot or cold.

Abstract

When your EGO Power+ tool displays two flashing red LEDs, it means the battery pack temperature is outside the safe operating range. This safety feature protects your battery from damage due to extreme heat or cold, and the fix is usually as simple as letting the battery reach normal temperature.
