Battery harness
EGO BH1001 Backpack Link
Moves a compatible EGO 56V battery from the blower to a backpack harness. Consider it for longer cleanup sessions with larger mower batteries; the harness does not reduce the battery’s weight.
EGO 56V / cleanup routine
Choose the cleanup routine by airflow, cut width, and kit.
Buy the combo only when trimming and blowing share the same battery and storage routine. The kit cuts down on chargers, but a dedicated blower makes sense when clearing is the dominant work. Compare airflow, cut width, included battery, and how attachments hand off between jobs. For trimming, compare a dedicated trimmer with a combo kit before choosing.
Best fit
What job slows you down every week?
ST6151LB pairs a 15-inch trimmer with a 615 CFM blower and a 2.5Ah battery when one shelf should cover routine edging and light leaf work. ST6703LB raises blower output to 670 CFM with a 4.0Ah kit for yards that need more air volume. LB7654 and LB8803-2 are dedicated blower paths for leaves, wet clippings, and long cleanup routes where output matters more than a two-tool bundle.

CFM and battery capacity are manufacturer or listing specifications. Runtime changes with blade load, debris, temperature, battery age, and tool setting.
Cleanup tasks
Match blower airflow and battery weight to the debris
| Cleanup task | Airflow and nozzle | Battery weight and harness | EGO listing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekly dry grass clippings on a driveway or patio | Use the variable dial around 260–450 CFM; Turbo is not needed for light clippings and can push mulch out of nearby beds. | A 2.5Ah pack weighs 2.77 lb; a 5.0Ah pack weighs 4.87 lb and has more capacity. | EGO LB7654 765 CFM kit with a 5.0Ah battery |
| Wet fall leaves matted in turf or gutters | 765 CFM / 200 MPH Turbo mode with the tapered concentrator nozzle. | The included 5.0Ah pack weighs 4.87 lb. For longer work with a 7.5Ah or 10Ah mower pack, the BH1001 Backpack Link carries the battery on a harness. | EGO LB7654 plus the BH1001 Backpack Link. |
Battery weights are EGO’s published figures. Airflow and airspeed are manufacturer specifications; choose a dial setting and nozzle that suit the debris and surrounding beds.

Combo
EGO ST6151LB
A first EGO cleanup kit with one 15-inch trimmer, a 615 CFM blower, 2.5Ah battery, and charger. The smaller battery keeps the kit lighter but leaves less reserve for long blowing sessions.
Combo
EGO ST6703LB
A two-tool kit with a 15-inch trimmer, 670 CFM blower, 4.0Ah battery, and charger. More output and reserve, with more weight and a larger charging footprint.
Dedicated blower
EGO LB6703
A dedicated 670 CFM cleanup routine with a 4.0Ah battery and charger. Edging needs its own tool and storage space since the trimmer is not in this purchase.
Dedicated blower
EGO LB7654
Heavier leaf and wet-clipping work with 765 CFM, a 5.0Ah battery, and charger. Output and battery capacity come with a larger tool and a dedicated shelf.
Dedicated blower
EGO LB8803-2
The highest-output option here, with 880 CFM and two 4.0Ah batteries in the listed kit. Buy it for the work area and debris load, not the headline CFM number alone.
Cleanup routine
Include shared use in the purchase decision
- Charge the right kit.Keep the battery, charger, and tool together. Record the battery size on the shelf label.
- Trim with a clear edge.Use eye protection and the manual's guard, line, and edging guidance. Keep people and pets outside the work area.
- Blow toward a planned pile.Choose a debris path before starting. Avoid doors, vehicles, windows, roads, and anyone downwind.
- Clear the intake.Remove the battery before clearing jams, changing line, or inspecting the tool. Follow the manual for storage and cleaning.
- Return every part.Leave the nozzle, guard, line, battery, and charger where the next user expects them.
FAQ
Common questions
Is the 880 CFM blower the best buy?
Only when the cleanup area and debris justify the tool and battery size. A 615 or 670 CFM combo can be the better fit when trimming is part of the same weekly job.
Why compare CFM and MPH separately?
CFM measures air volume. MPH describes airspeed. Nozzle design and debris weight decide how those numbers feel in the yard.
Should a trimmer and blower share one battery?
Shared batteries reduce chargers. They also create a scheduling problem when both tools need a full charge on the same day. Keep a second battery only when the work proves it is needed.

Multi-head and standalone tools
Choose one motor for attachments or a dedicated trimmer
Multi-head starter combo
EGO MHC1603
Includes the PH1420 power head, 16-inch STA1600 POWERLOAD trimmer attachment, 8-inch EA0820 edger attachment, 4.0Ah battery, and 320W charger. One person uses the power head at a time, and each attachment change requires a stop to swap shafts. Skip it if you do not need interchangeable attachments or two people need tools at once.
Bare power head
EGO PH1420
For an EGO battery owner who needs one attachment without another battery purchase. The carbon-fiber shaft power head has onboard electrical contacts for POWERLOAD trimmer attachments. This listing is the bare tool; battery, charger, and attachment are separate.
Standalone trimmer
EGO ST1502SA
A 15-inch Rapid-Reload split-shaft trimmer with a 2.5Ah battery and charger. Choose a dedicated trimmer when string trimming is the main job and you do not need a shared attachment motor. It does not accept Multi-Head attachments.
Standalone pruning tool
EGO PS1001
A dedicated 10-inch telescopic pole saw with a 2.5Ah battery, charger, and LED cut-line indicator. Its telescopic shaft differs from a two-piece attachment shaft; account for full-length wall storage.

Bundles
The trimmer is the same; the battery sharing changes
Standard kit
ST1623T with 4.0Ah kit
A 16-inch POWERLOAD and LINE IQ trimmer with a telescopic carbon-fiber shaft, 4.0Ah battery, and charger. The standard kit keeps the purchase focused but leaves less battery reserve for a second tool or long cleanup session.
Bonus-battery bundle
ST1623T with extra BA1400T
The same 16-inch trimmer and 4.0Ah kit plus an extra 2.5Ah BA1400T battery. The second battery helps a two-tool sharing but adds charging, storage, and configuration checks. The listing identifies the extra battery as a separate item.
