Battery-powered outdoor power equipment supplier, EGO Power Plus, is supporting landscaping and grounds maintenance professionals with the launch of its new charging system.

EGO has expanded its PRO X series with the introduction of a new chainsaw, new hedge trimmers, brush cutters, line trimmers and mowers. In addition to a new next-generation battery charging system to support these latest releases.

Product manager at EGO, Andrew Frohock, comments on the launch, saying: “Groundscare, gardening and facilities management professionals need complete confidence that their battery-powered tools can succeed at the longest and toughest tasks.”

The PGX™ Professional Charging system is defined as a ‘flexible’ charging solution that scales to meet the specific needs of any business. The system is powered by the PGX1600E-H 1600W Charging Hub, which runs off any standard electrical outlet.

A modular system PGX affords each user adaptability to their specific power needs.The PGX1600H Hub connects to any combination of up to 30 PGX3000D 3-Port Docks, or PGX1400PB Power Banks (available separately), to provide charging power to 90 battery ports.

The charging power means that the PGX system can effectively charge up to 70 EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries, or up to 250Ah of battery capacity overnight (in 12hrs). All batteries can be charged without the need for manual intervention.

The 1600W Hub and PGX3000D 3-Port Docks securely mount to the wall via steel-reinforced screw through-holes and are both E-Track-compatible via the PGX™ Commercial Charging E-Track Mounting Kit (available separately) unlocking the potential for in-vehicle charging for all EGO batteries, via a single power connection.

When disconnected from the PGX Hub, the PGX1400PB is a portable Power Bank that allows users to transport their energy to the jobsite, and recharge their portable batteries, wherever and whenever they need to.

With the energy stored in the new EGO HC2240T 40Ah Battery, from EGO’s new High-Capacity platform, the Power Bank utilises high-efficiency DC: DC charging to pass this power to two 700W charging ports, compatible with all EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries, for on site, off-grid charging. Both are available from Summer 2024.
