The EGO LB5804's performance versus other blowers
The following charts are provided to give you an idea how the key specs of the EGO LB5804 compare with handheld leaf blowers of similar voltage (between 56 and 60V).
- Air exiting the nozzle of this blower can reach 168 MPH, which is quite a bit faster than most battery-operated handheld blowers between 56 and 60V. If you wish to benefit from air expelled at the fastest possible speed, the EGO LB8803-2 and its 200 MPH could be an option to consider.
- As this unit is rated at 580 CFM (cubic feet per minute), it expells less air than most cordless handheld blowers with a comparable voltage. For the highest air volume, you may want to have a look at the EGO LBX1000, which boasts with 1000 CFM.
- When compared to other cordless handheld units operating within the range of 56V to 60V, the LB5804 offers standard autonomy, providing up to 75 minutes of runtime with a fully charged battery. If autonomy is an important factor for you, the Toro 51822 can run for up to 140 minutes and could be worth considering.

POWER+ Battery Technology
EGO's POWER+ technology is based on a high-end patented ARC Lithium™ design which utilizes a third row of cells to achieve high-voltage performance. Combined with a revolutionary phase-change material which envelopes each cell, the arc-design of the cell's arrangement allows for more efficient cooling and an optimum power distribution across all rows of cells. This technology also embeds a patented power management system that monitors and optimizes each individual battery cell to maximize its power, performance, and runtime. Moreover, the battery casing is completely sealed and has an enhanced shock and weather resistivity. Thus, the battery is protected from drops, rain and the elements.
