EGO Power+ 16" POWERLOAD String Trimmer ST1611T — 56V 2.5Ah Battery, Carbon Fiber Telescopic Shaft

The EGO Power+ 16" POWERLOAD™ String Trimmer ST1611T is a cordless, battery-powered trimmer with a carbon fiber telescopic shaft and one-button POWERLOAD™ line winding for fast, professional-grade trimming.

This kit pairs a compact 16-inch cutting head with EGO's POWERLOAD™ line-reload system, a high-efficiency brushless motor and a 56V 2.5Ah ARC Lithium™ battery to deliver up to 45 minutes of runtime. Built for homeowners and pros who want a lightweight, low-vibration alternative to gas, the unit balances maneuverability with a 16" cutting swath and professional 0.095" dual-line cutting performance. The carbon fiber shaft reduces weight while increasing strength and adjusts quickly with a telescopic design and quick-adjust auxiliary handle for customized comfort.

How does POWERLOAD™ make reloading line faster?

POWERLOAD™ eliminates the tedious manual winding of trimmer line: feed the line through the head, press the button and the mechanism automatically winds it evenly. This saves time and removes guesswork so you return to trimming in seconds, without fumbling with loose line or disassembling the head.

• One-button automatic line winding reduces reload time to seconds
• Works with professional 0.095" dual spiral-twist line for clean cuts
• No need to disassemble the spool—minimal user handling

What makes the carbon fiber telescopic shaft useful?

The carbon fiber shaft keeps the trimmer light while remaining stiff and durable, improving control and reducing arm fatigue during extended use. The telescopic adjustment accommodates different user heights and allows compact storage, while the quick-adjust auxiliary handle fine-tunes balance and reach.

• Lightweight carbon fiber reduces overall tool weight for easier maneuvering
• Telescopic shaft adjusts to your height for ergonomic posture
• Quick-adjust handle customizes balance and reach for varied tasks

How does battery performance translate to real use?

The included EGO 56V 2.5Ah ARC Lithium battery provides up to about 45 minutes of runtime depending on conditions, offering enough charge for most small-to-medium yards. The high-efficiency brushless motor maximizes runtime and minimizes vibration, while the 210W charger refuels the battery relatively quickly for repeat jobs.

• 56V 2.5Ah battery included—up to ~45 minutes per charge (variable by load)
• Brushless motor extends runtime, reduces vibration, and increases motor lifespan
• 210W charger included for straightforward recharging between sessions

Is this trimmer durable and weather-ready?

Backed by a 5-year limited tool warranty and a 3-year limited battery warranty, it uses professional-grade components such as spiral-twist 0.095" line and a robust motor design for long-term reliability.
