They supposedly have greenworks pro a call-back option, but that never works. Once I got through, though, the issue was resolved. The charger has small red and green lights that tell the battery’s condition.
Overall, the Ryobi’s performance on a full charge was in the middle of the pack—just over half of what the Egos accomplished on a full charge. And in patches of really thick, tall grass, the Ryobi trimmer head occasionally got wound up in the grass or just pushed it over instead of cutting it. And the Ryobi couldn’t sever the Japanese knotweed stalks as efficiently as the Egos.
