ion ice auger
« on: Feb 09, 2023, 01:49 PM »
I bought my ion electric auger used a few years ago and has been great. The battery has two lights on so i decided to charge it before my first trip. the charger will blink red once then green once then no lights. I have used the auger and the battery has not lost any charge so far. my question is whether the battery is bad or if the charger is?

Speaking of ions, though, what exactly is the difference between the alpha and the alpha plus (besides about $100)

The Ion Alpha has a metal flight, the Alpha+ has a composite flight. It cuts down the weight.

That's about right.  I bought an 8AH batt and charger for my 2904.  $250!
