Your cold test is wrong in all aspects. Firstly running batteries during the cold, has no effect on the batteries, Due to Discharge heat up. Batteries 'heat up' during charging and during discharge. So using batteries in cold temps, Will not have any performance lost. What will make batteries loose performance, Is letting them sit out for awhile. Say 12hours to a full day. The colder temps will harden the batteries crystals and not allow much flow of ions to pass between the electrical power. So it'll says the batteries have 'dropped' a fair % due to the frozen crystals inside the batteries. But once they reheat due to charge or discharge. They'll sorta even out again. But you'll loose maybe 5% or so. But again this only happens when a battery has been left out UNUSED in the colder temps. Why electric things work and perform Well in colder temps due to the lower heating up of the batteries when they discharge or even charge. So they have much higher performance while running.

So it goes into a Inverter that is a Electrical board, that keeps it at a stable power point that's lower then what the electric motor is producing. The gas motor won't have any effect. But the electric motor and the board/chips/inverter and other devices will fry the same way as a electric Generator/battery would. So Gas isn't better for a EMP.

Glad it was helpful!

I have a hybrid solution. Use EGO power station as primary, when it gets low then charge it up with inverter gas generator. I think this setup provides a much more efficient and quiet usage. The fast charger restores battery fast, and if you have multiple then the gas doesn't run that long. At night I think this EGO unit will last without having the noisy gas generator running. I don't think 1 will every take over the other, but that's just my take.

Thanks for this video. I have owned the DeWalt for over a year and have only used it to charge my multitude of DeWalt batteries, but haven’t needed to use it. At home I have an automatic whole house generator and my Ram Truck has 400 amp power outlets, so when I’ve been out, I’ve powered tools from the Ram. You’ve made me comfortable bringing the DeWalt to sites where I won’t have to keep my truck running, and more, where I won’t have to be “tied” close to my truck! I appreciate your video.

had the dewalt. worked pretty well for short bursts of power, but anything constant sucked the batteries down way faster than expected. sold it and bought a honda eu2200i. clean, endless power. and it runs forever on a single gallon of gas. gas still wins.

Im a die-hard Milwaukee fan but I have to admit the DeWalt seems like a better unit for me. I like the idea of it using its own tool batteries instead of a battery that can only be used for it. I also like you can plug it in to charge the batteries. The Milwaukee shutting down under 80 watts is really stupid.

I went into this skeptical as hell. Could I see this being of some use? Sure. The wife is a light sleeper and running a traditional generator is likely to keep her up. She'd probably prefer just to not use it at night. But is it really worth the cost? I got Dewalt tools so I'll use it as an example. The base model generator will run $450 (without batteries and without any discounts). That's already pretty high. I can buy a traditional generator for that much. But then you got to buy the batteries. The biggest batteries I have for Dewalt tools are some 5ah batteries. About half the capacity recommended for this unit. And each of the 9ah batteries will run you about $200 a piece. Put in 4 batteries, factor in any design changes by Dewalt, as well as battery shelf life ... and you might as well just call the guy on the phone to hook up an emergency generator to your home. And no I wouldn't buy a 9ah battery for my tools because the battery would cost more than the tool I'm using it with. I'm better off just buying the tool again and getting a 5 ah battery as part of the deal. Yes, there are circumstances where something like this would beat a traditional generator. Both in weight and size. If you are at a remote location or one without power and you don't expect to be pulling a lot of juice at the build site, a generator like this might justify the cost. But how often are you in that situation? I'm not a contractor and my builds are limited so not enough to make this happen. Now if this Dewalt generator was going for half the price it currently is, I'd really consider buying it and just using my existing supply of batteries. Even if I never used it. But at the current price? It is an easy no.

But so far, the people complaining about the Milwaukee are people who are not working on jobsites. It's obviously not designed for camping or working around the house. The beauty of it is that it is on the MX platform. So, you need to use the other MX tools to make it even more worth it. That's what I meant.

@@michaelholly88 as far as the M12 platform, I believe it was designed for trades that requires ergonomic and efficient tools. M18 is for more performance and power. Of course you won't find anything in the M12 such as an inverter. Would completely defeat the purpose.

I have the dewalt and the ego. Very handy for blackout time.

Milwaukee needs to make a M18 version..... but that doesn’t shut off after an hour.

There's currently a single plug device now that goes on m18. I have one and it's pretty cool. It's not meant for huge power draws but I think it does like 170 w. It has 120v and 2 usb ports. It's great for charging small devices.

I've watched several videos on the EGO Nexus and other stations like Eco-Flow, and the Bluetti. While the EGO has some strong points, some other manufacturers can be used and charged simultaneously. Also, the EGO seems to have an add on Solar Panel charging option which is pricey compared to some other Solar Generators such as Eco-Flow and Bluetti.

Great Video keep up the good work👍👍👍👍

Just buy a Maxoak or Jackery 1500 and be done. Way more power and best inverters in the business

I have the DeWalt ands it’s been outstanding!

I want someone to do a comparison or simulated test between one of these and an equivalent gas generator on long life use, battery and gas/propane costs, etc. Would be interesting.

The best thing about the dewalt is that you can use those bateries to power up any of your dewalt tools but for the other tools that is not the case

Thanks Rob, I use Milwaukee m12 and m18 for my power tools but just couldn't stomach the cost of the MX system and power inverter, looking at EGO and the new ride on zero turn from them which already comes with 2 10amp batteries so it seems to make sense for me to go EGO for outdoor tools. One question, Does the ego have an option to plug it in to charge the batteries in place or is that only the dewalt?

@DH-ro4cv

Yea it sure does. The only thing though is they are the slow charge (EGO offers a freestanding rapid charger for one battery for about $100.) You just leave all of your batteries on it and plug in the included charger that is stored inside the top of the generator. If you are ok with charging them all just overnight that option would be ok. It takes about 3 hours on slow charge to charge a 7.5 AH EGO. The rapid charger is 1 hour for it. If you have 4 7.5AH batteries on it it will take 12 hours using the included charger for all 4. I bought rapid chargers for my batteries as I need a quicker charging turnaround time. Everyones needs are different though

When you lose power with these inverters, you recharge them for hours using Fossil Fuels. When you lose power with a generator, you add fuel and keep going.

You’re completely missing the purposes of these tools.

I have 2 of the Egos, each with 4 7.5 AH batteries. I really like their features but wish they had solar charging and cigarette lighter DC ports. That would put them over the top and probably double their market.

Yes, solar charging would be nice.

One of the most important advantages... these don't make tons of noise or expel toxic fumes which makes them viable to keep inside closed areas, like your home. Gas gregarious must be kept outside and are extremely loud and irritating.

I use a generator for one thing, massive power failures, last hurricane my house was without power for 14 days. No rechargeable unit will run my house for 14 days. Imagine if I was stupid enough to have an electric car, like my neighbor who had to rent a car to get to work.

It won't, we tried with a test model, battery struggled on a small construction air compressor.

I have the DeWalt power station and for the first time found something that wouldn’t run on it, my 2 HP pancake compressor. This will run my table saw with vacuum or router with vacuum; I’ve run 2 sump pumps a 3/4 HP and 1 HP. I like the fact that the unit works with any mix of 20V batteries including FlexVolt batteries. While the DeWalt isn’t true sign wave I haven’t had any issues running a TV or my security DVR and cameras while also running my 3/4 HP garage door opener. The ego is a beast, especially with 4 batteries; my uncle has this in his trailer for basically running whatever he needs. Any of these should be good and if you have the batteries to back them up can go for a long time.

Great video! For some reason unknown to me at the moment - I need one of these 🤣 I think I figured out your hint - Solar panel charging??

WAT?! I have no idea what you’re talking about.

Looks nice, would be good for camping and emergency

Predator 3500 generator is 850.00 and is capable of around 8250 watt hours on 2.6 gallons of gas which around here is about 2.80 a gallon last I checked so $7.50. Total investment for first use is half the Dewalt and still 150.00 cheaper than the ego. If I wanted a second use without having to stop and recharge batteries it would be over $1000 dollars for the 4 batteries in the dewalt, 750 for the ego (1000 if you got the 10 amp hours he mentioned) and over 1200 for the Milwaukee batteries. So once again to use any of these twice without having to stop and recharge, ego 1750.00 , Dewalt $2500.00, Milwuakee 3200.00. Gas generators aren't going anywhere, they run in the cold the rain the snow, and most importantly they are simple and the more simple a device is the less it brakes and the cheaper it is to repair and replace. Lithium batteries are not known for their long usable life, how quickly does your phone battery stop holding a charge? You really want to replace 1000 dollars worth of batteries every year or 2 depending on how much you use this sort of device? In the same amount of time you'll need a 5 dollar spark plug for the gas generator and a couple oil changes. Im sure these have a their place and are useful to some but give me gas any day.

Nothing can ever replace gas generators for energy density and places that are constantly cloudy like WA. In my view, the best combo is to have a tiny, quiet gas generator paired with something to store energy such as a Jackery 1500.

Awesome vid!
