Single-stage snowblowers: EGO 56V versus Toro 60V. Note that some snowblowers might come with two batteries but only use one at a time. Others use two at a time.

EGO: Two 5-amp batteries, used simultaneously

Toro: One 7.5-amp battery

Can someone compare power and run time for these two setups? With two batteries in the EGO, would I be getting more power or more run time, compared to one battery? Are two 5-amp batteries used simultaneously equivalent to one 10-amp? And hence more powerful than one 7.5-amp?

(brk-lnt, I reread your previous post relating amp hours to volts. I think my question here is different.)

Thanks for your help!
