I love the new backpack blower. I would like to see the string trimmer and hedge trimmer work from the same backpack assembly. Basically modular tool line that leaves the battery on your back instead of in your hand.

Ego does have a backpack battery for the European market, but it's a 1300 Wh monster battery aimed more at the professional user.

I agree that a backpack blower would be a great donor for a single battery holding/carrying device, especially since Ego already has the cable and dummy battery available... it seems we're one small design step away from having that system.

Hey Ego: your 7.5Ah battery would look attractive to a lot more people if they could wear it on their back. ;-)

I agree. Have the backpack be the battery carrier and a cable option to run any tool. More power less weight!! Awesome!! I could knock out my 30000 foot lot trim job with one chardge. Yes!!

But what about the backpack link? Seems to be a backpack with cable and dummy battery. Blue, maybe that's what you meant, but didn't mention the backpack part. Just add any battery you want to the backpack part.

That was me predicting the backpack link 8 months ago, long before its release! ;-)

Wow, it seems like that backpack has been out for that long already. Maybe you knew something the rest of us didn't? LOL

And make it retro fit the current back pack blower so I don’t have to buy a whole new set of tools. Just a bolt on modification with a cord link up. Also it would be a lot handier if they made a hedge trimmer on an extension arm to increase each and mount in the backpack arm.
