    I have invested hundreds of dollars into the Echo 58v system of products including the mower, chainsaw, and trimmer. Unfortunately, echo has apparently decided to discontinue this entire line and replace it with a 56v system of products that are not compatible. I have 3 58v 4ah batteries that will no longer charge, rendering all of my products worthless. I have learned that I cannot buy replacement batteries or have the older batteries refurbished. This is very frustrating as I feel echo has turned their back on customers who initially adopted their electric line of products.

    I have a 58v Echo blower, string trimmer, edger and chainsaw. When the batteries were working it was a great system. I have 2 2ah and 1 4ah batteries. I already had to get the 4ah battery replaced once under warranty. Now both my 2ah batteries barely last 5 minutes and they don't even work in the blower they came with for more than 5 seconds without it shutting off. I know it's not the blower because it works fine with the 4 ah battery. Now i just have the one battery I can use on all the tools so once that quits working I will just have 4 tools I can't even use since they discontinued this line. They should have had a trade in program for the 58v users. I will NEVER purchase another Echo product again.
