This battery-powered inverter can’t currently handle the startup surge on that tool. We also tested Skilsaw’s larger worm drive table saw and that seems to be where the limit is. Even pushing the worm drive, I didn’t trip the Power Station. I started with a standard 15-amp sidewinder circular saw cutting 3/4″ OSB subfloor and then stacked it to make 1.5″ cuts with a 15-amp Skilsaw worm drive saw. The EGO Nexus Power Station will run 15-amp tools. Goal Zero’s Yeti 3000 moved us into the 13-amp range for corded tools. ![]() So what can you do with 2000 continuous watts and 3000 surge watts? A lot, apparently. Then it pulls equally from all battery packs together. You can also mix batteries without issue. When you use batteries with different capacities or charge states, the EGO Nexus Power Station will draw down the highest one(s) first until they’re all at the same level. It doesn’t matter what combination of batteries you use. With 42 cells or more, you get the maximum 2000 watts output. 14 cells on the Power Station gives you 600 watts and 28 cells bump it to 1200 watts. EGO’s 56V battery runs on 14-cell groups. To get the 2000-watt maximum, you need to run at least one 3P (7.5 Ah) battery or equivalent in smaller packs. It bumps up to 1200 watts of output with a 2P (5 Ah) battery. With a 1P pack (2.0 or 2.5 Ah), it runs at 600 watts. The type of battery (or batteries) determines your maximum output watts. The EGO battery inverter possesses 4 ports, but you don’t have to use all of them. The Power Station runs on any combination of EGO 56V batteries. Those are pure sine surge watts and at 50% over its continuous output rating, it exceeds what a 2000-watt gas generator/inverter can do by a long shot. ![]() The EGO Nexus Power Station can output up to 2000 continuous watts with 3000 peak watts out. This system is a far cry from the EGO Nexus Escape which outputs 150 watts. Won’t make it past the startup surge of all 15-amp motors.Onboard capacity is well under some brands’ max.Firmware updates offer easy and free upgrades down the road.Simple yet useful app offers controls and more detailed info.Easily replaceable/upgradable batteries.2000-watt continuous power handles up to 3000 surge watts. ![]()
