Ah, another place where EGO excels: they have a dual rapid charger that charges both batteries at the same time. Two 5 Ah batteries charge in 30-45 minutes. The Toro charger takes 2.5 hours to charge one 5 Ah battery and 3 hours for one 3 Ah.

I see your point, but you could also say that the moment you have a 7.5 or 10 Ah battery, you're forced to buy smaller batteries for other tools. I'm trying to determine whether a 5 Ah battery is too heavy for a string trimmer.
