Did speak with someone from EGO and they said the batteries will discharge if not used for a long period of time and that this is normal. Sure would be nice if they put that little detail in the manual or at least on the website....

I had the same problem. According to the manual, it is Self Maintenance. "5 LEDs shine solid red for 10 seconds, then go out and remain off for 10 seconds, then shine solid red for 10 seconds again....(different versions use green LEDs)...Both indications, the LEDs will run the cycle until the self-maintenance is finished." You'd think they would only use green, but nope it's the red "EVERYTHING IS FINE!!!" light. I've been storing mine in a metal pot with a lid, just in case.

Yeah, gotta love how those red lights means that either, it's doing its thing - please ignore OR this battery is dangerously hot, stop using it and cool it down NOW!

Left on holiday for two weeks unplugged battery before leaving. Worked fine prior. Went to use the e-go blower to dry the car, came on and turned off immediately. Three green lights show, then goes solid red. Any solutions?

I was just walking through the garage and the (disconnected) battery for the chainsaw had the glowing red indicators, and it was warm to the touch. I pressed the button in the center and it showed 4 green bars. I had put it up a few weeks ago with a full charge, but I was worried maybe the extreme cold the past week had done some damage or something. I'm glad you found out about the self test. It had me really worried. (Maybe I should put the battery in a metal container like another commenter suggested.)

I know its been a couple years since you put out this video but I just now came across it I like I'm sure you know by now and so have lots of others found this problem too and I have figured it out like a couple others now I see but you must hold the button down for at least 5 or 7 seconds and it will turn green but still won't charge . Now heres how i fixed with paper clips in the + & - terminals so my jumper wire of at least 14 gauge with aligator clips attached to positive and negative terminals shocks the battey back to life but only jump with another 56 volt battery for like 5 or 6 seconds cause wires will melt but then your charger will recognize it to be a battery believe it and will start charging. Plus when finished using the tool do not leave battery connected disconnect it and it won't drain down again.

Same here. Not freaking out per se, but furiously googling, what it means, which led me here.

I have the same situation, I have 3 EGO 7.5 Ah batteries but this periodic flashing red only happens on one of the batteries and is slightly warm to the touch. I also have 2 2.5 Ah batteries and it does not do this on any of those - odd!

I had this maintenance mode for 1 battery but not the other, used together, came from same bundle model A and B in serial number. Rep told me maintenance mode, i said why is the other one not doing so, he said that is normal as well. So ego makes all the rules broken or not.

Just had it happen 10 minutes ago. I moved the battery into a corner of the kitchen for the winter. I've maybe touched it twice in 2 months. Hit the button and it turned green. Pretty sure I only had 3 LEDs lit in red (the same as the green).

One of mine was flashing while sitting on the ground, I had left it unplugged for weeks. It was fully charged or near full. Not solid red but flashing red, battery cold to the touch.
