Latest on the Echo 58v stuff. While mowing the other day I could not get the battery to recharge. Charger would indicate 'evaluating' with blinking red LED for 10 minutes. Took it out for 5 mins and back in with same result. Repeat. After 30-40 minutes called Echo. They said it shouldn't do that, especially on a relatively cool day. She said it sounded like the battery was bad and she'd send me a new one. About 45 later it suddenly started to charge.
New battery appears to actually be refurbished. Only provides about 60% the mowing time of the other batteries and is all black with no orange strip. Original battery still has difficulty charging. Sometimes will, sometimes not. Definitely something wrong.
On Saturday our Echo 58v blower suddenly stopped working. Tried several times with different batteries that all indicate fully charged and nothing happens with the blower.
I've always been quite happy with Echo. Exceptionally disappointed with their cordless stuff though. Home Depot will be getting a pile of Echo stuff back in a week or two.
