By your moves when touching the wires with the battery hooked, it looks like you've felt 72Volts already🤝😄

Blackwood looks hard to cut

Would love to do my old forester

I have 2x 58V saws, and 2x 4Ah and 1x newish 8Ah battery. With the 8Ah battery, they go quite a long time. I never had that stopping thing from the 'cold' battery, but being is SE Qld I don't go out cutting wood or any other work unless it is around 14 degrees (retired). A super sharp chain is the must. And if that's the case, not much pressure is needed to let it do its stuff. I have cut seasoned ironbark 14 to 16" round, and it does a fab job. Yes, if I was a professional timber cutter, I have still Magnum or bigger, but for our firewood cutting or tree trimming, the best thing ever. Living away from town, no runnto the servo to get fuel. Battflat = time for a beer.

Chain needs sharpening based on the fine sawdust. It should spit chips.

Thank you, what a great video. I have been stuck not knowing what to do about the chain not fitting back on & you explained it all. Hard to know what to do sometimes without a dad, brother or husbnd to help

8:02. Thats a Kakubara. In other words this guy is in Australia

Thanks for taking your time to share, very helpful 👍

The only way to stop the chain lube coming out is to lay it on its left side not the bottom as the oiler is on the chain side obviously. In the manual AEG suggest to empty the lube tank, but it's not practical to do so.

I dont have the battery issues, but I'm on the newer 'black top' batteries and I use 2 x 8ah. No cold battery issues, blends any hardness of wood for more than long enough until I'm tired. I have an old Stihl Farm Boss which is 'better' but I use this chainsaw because I don't like the Range Rover smelling like fuel and dealing with the stains from the consdant leaks. I store the electric cordless in the boot to clear roads and simultaneously collect free firewood. I also have a corded electric which is small, light and handy when a point is nearby. All good, all have their pros and cons.

If you saw my face, you'd all wear a full face shield too 👍

Absolute rubbish, I have the 16" and never had problems with it, can cut anything. You seem to be struggling to use it, I assume you're not used to using tools. Absolutely no battery issues

For my use, I have an unedited video I have to edit. Just in case anyone is in the same boat, I edited my video first, rendered the edited version, and then started a new project for blurring out the portions I need to blur. (Personal contact information) It seems a lot easier than trying to edit two versions of the same video so I can use the compositor as needed on version 2.8. Thank you very much for the video. I am still getting used to film editing on Linux, and Flowblade is about the best I have found so far, but not very many OEM tutorials available.

May I know why did you install fuse and emergency switch on the cable that is connected to negative B? Thank you

Hi Christopher. Thank you for this video, really appreciated. We are also using Elcon 1kW dc to dc converter for an EV. I would like to know where do you get your 12V enable? is it coming from the same 12V battery that the converter is charging? also, where is this +12V is referenced to? I mean, where does Elcon converter take as GND or reference point when receiving +12V enable? Thank you so much.

i can't find this mower anywhere, such a bummer

How much AH is that?

when in France ?

What a great build! I'm looking at converting a brumby station wagon, where would you recommend I start? Are there any kits available nowadays that would fit this project?

Hey what are the dimensions of one cell?

What a waste

Thanks mate. I've had my AEG Line Trimmer since late 2016 & was so impressed I bought the mower (last day of 2016) & in 2017 bought blower, hedge trimmer & chainsaw. The Line Trimmer is still going strong (probably don't use it as much as you), but two of my batteries (out of six) developed faults & no longer charge (I'm not inclined to change cells & I wouldn't be as confident in the safety during charging & under load etc), so late in 2023 I bought another (58V) Line Trimmer kit with the 8Ah Ultimate battery & with a bonus 4Ah Ultimate battery (yet to come). It is great! The 8Ah battery doesn't want to work in my 7 year mower though, but is fine in all my other tools (includes jet blower & Brushcutter I bought soon after release). I have however fallen for buying another mower as it was on clearance & with an extra discount being a display model. It was the AEG 21" Self-propelled kit with 2 x 4Ah Ultimate batteries (with charger), however I got it home & the batteries were dead & won't charge. I have to wait for more of those batteries to come back into stock soon to exchange (be interesting if they will work in the old mower, which they should), however the new 21" mower works great, with original 4Ah batteries & also the 8Ah Ultimate battery. No, I wasn't going to return the kit since I got it at $500 off normal price & am happy to wait for replacement batteries. 😉 I also have some of their 18v gear as well, so use the 18v Line Trimmer for grass edging & the 18V Hedge Trimmer too, together with the Pole Hedge Trimmer attachment on the 58V Line Trimmer drive. BTW, the 4Ah Ultimate batteries are $299 while the 8Ah Ultimate battery is $499, so better value for capacity, however, buying batteries separately is always going to be more expensive (did that back in 2017) & one should buy the kits when possible to get them & a charger at a much cheaper price & also the best time to buy is during bonus offers too. 😊

Chris, do you happen to have part numbers for the connectors used to get to the individual cell voltages? tia

Hello, I too have the Cox iQ. Im wondering if you’ve encountered this issue. Was using it and it stopped. Fully charged. LED two lowest bars flashing/alternating red. Blades power up, but won't go forwards or backwards. Cheers Mark

Can you please show how to open the charger and see the point where AC converts to DC

Cool. What type of cells is?

How would this go against a large stihl petrol in your opinion? Thanks

nice. clearly explained. thank you :)

I'm on the verge of installing this charger in my 914, thanks for the detail! The first thing I learned is that I won't need my old AVC board anymore because the EVCC handles the protocol with the charging plug. And I'm using the exact same Type 2 charging socket!

Nice find!

I just installed my Frunk. Thanks so much!

Very well explained mate good work

I just got second hand one - looks same as yours. What blades do you use ?

Fantastic video thank you. Is each side 6 in series (block each side of the cooling fins identical?) looking for an affordable 24/48v battery setup thanks

Thank you very much. This was a great help even though I am using v2.10, which has changes. I don't understand why you don't have more Likes!

Congrats man! Pretty and rare Brat!

Thanks for sharing this video, i learned the sensor part connecting cables. can you make one video demonstrating inside mechanism of this charger. like 220VAC till DC

Thanks for the info

This guy definitely was not paid to promote AEG chainsaws

Definitely interesting my first car was a Subaru Brumby I've always thought they're the best little farm runaround but I think I would stick with twin carbs and unequal extractors

hi i just got aeg trimmer kit i have 2 58v battery's 4ah - do you think having 2 batterys 4ah is better then having 1 8ah battery?

This is the best most honest review of the AEG 18" e-saw. Its warts and all and has put me decidedly off buying any e-saw. I only do hardwood firewood in WA, such as Jarrah, Karri, etc.. Paying that price for only 7 minutes run time including constantly Li battery shutdowns! AEG are having a laugh with this. Then you have pay another cuppla hundred bucks for a second battery! "It's Ok for cutting branches and small greenwood"! So why would I buy an 18inch bar chainsaw for doing branches and twiggery, BTW - in 40 years of using a chainsaw I've only ever had a chain come off twice and that was because the bar was worn out. Here we have it where the chain comes off pretty often by the sound of it. I'm unimpressed, despite me being an AEG guy. I'll stick with my 20 year old petrol Stihl thank you.

very cool ! wondering if u could share how much u got it for?

What a brilliant conversion, Chris! Very impressive indeed! It's very, very heartening to see that converting an older car to EV is doable. I'm going to subscribe, hoping to find more content that includes on-road footage of the Brumby in action.

cool test! i've fought with my multi-meter accidentally being in AC a bunch of times! also, i seem to have it beep and power off right in the middle of what i'm doing :)

thanks, good and detail information

cool analysis. anything that can help more people recycle and reuse these things is good for us and the environment. Also, i wish more manufacturers would make it easy to have direct taps to each cell!!! Many of them do, but it is frustrating when the connector they use is some part that is only made for that auto manufacturer or something like that other than something common.

Excellent review - you showed how it was done and the pros and cons of each. I have the new 18 Volt and must say i like it so far. I have never used a battery-powered whipper snipper before. I also got the extended 6 year warranty and extended 3 years on the battery. I was wondering if you could tell me more about the bladed whipper snipper as I could not find any information about it. I want to buy and alternate head for it and compare the two. Excellent review.

My kona came with a froot tub no need to create one. back of the manual shows you how to fit it.

Just a tip for those wondering about the battery life, 4ah is a bit small for doing a lot of cutting. Use the 8ah battery. I use a dual 8ah battery in the 58 volt lawnmower and can cut grass for 1 hr
