NASA / SpaceX Launch just scrubbed about 17 minutes before launch. Next launch window is this Saturday afternoon.

History delayed .. for three days.

Well,
Space is hard

Wonder if it is real or counterfeit?

Its real, the serial number was confirmed by EGO to be valid. The receipt given to them was real also just not an "authorized seller", so they had an excuse not to honor the warranty. Amazon did come through (after a long chat, two operators and a supervisor) and will refund the amount of the battery after communication with the seller failed.

Ego basically said it the responsibility of the buyer to buy from an authorized seller and planned on not taking any action on the seller, because as they say there are just too many of them. So I suggest before buying a replacement battery go to the EGO website and find a dealer close to you through EGO's search engine and do not buy on-line unless you confirm they are an authorized seller through EGO.

My EGO battery serial number and receipt was registered on and accepted by EGO on their website. Big help that was. (sarcasm)

The gland end could have handled being drilled out that bit most likely.

Lou,

Initially I was tempted ... but thought the better of it as the gland nut is actually very thin:

The gland nuts on the boom cylinders are much beefier - but they don’t need drilled as the wrench I have fits those:

Good luck with it, I had to make a gland wrench for a Dynahoe cylinder that hadn't been unscrewed since it was built in the 60's, drill rod and half inch flat stock with a 6 foot handle and it still took some sledge hammer persuasion.

Yeah ... I hope this one isn’t quite that bad ... but I have no illusions that it could well be.

Assume you get to keep the failed battery? Maybe open it up and see if you can see what failed? Internal fuse .. maybe? Broken internal contact or wire?

I still get 5 minutes of service from it so a fuse or wire would not be the problem. Before it died I could get 35-40 minutes with it.

Is the voltage still correct? 56 volts?

Got the metal roofing done today. I was really dragging. Took a lot of breaks. Sun was blocked multiple times by clouds, so I started timing my breaks with the periods of sun, definitely helped. I am NOT doing anything tomorrow!

Max and Kassie are enjoying the new covered porch!

RNG, yes, the whole assembly is screwed together using 4 in screws.
