I live where it dumps snow overnight about 3 to 4 feet daily sometimes 6 foot of snow and my driveway is long, I just did a test run of my driveway snow clearing without snow and it’s using almost all of its battery without snow load. I just worried that Yarbo might not be able to keep up with this snow, should I get spare battery or is there a way to charge the battery under an hour?
it would be nice if it had slot where I can just insert Ego Batteries.
Get a spare battery and the external charging cable so you can charge the batteries outside of the unit. If you fall behind, you can swap the batteries and recharge. The wired charger is a lot slower than the wireless charger as an FYI. But, the wireless charger will recharge up to 80% in about 1.5 hours.
And you need a separate cable to charge the battery outside of the Yarbo iirc. Any plans for a faster manual charger? Should be able to utilize multiple ports even to “super charge” faster than the wireless?
Yes, this optional accessory.

Honestly, I would much rather see a bigger capacity battery or adding a second battery (or bank of batteries) to the rear tow hook and rear power port vs a fast wired charger.
Hi there, thanks for reaching out.
For the snowblower, the battery typically takes about 1.5 hours to charge from around 20% to 80%.
If needed, you can consider buying a spare battery and battery power cord:
Yarbo Battery｜ Long-Lasting Power for Uninterrupted Performance
Battery Power Cord – Yarbo
Let’s not overlook @me1’s suggested EGO battery slots. I’d prefer Greenworks battery slots but whichever….
Yarbo doesn’t need to charge them, just use them for power…
I would also love the Greenworks slots, I use 80V though😁
Ego is ~56V
Wouldn’t that be awesome, and I’ve already got (6) 80V Greenworks batteries. Bring it on.
Do a generic device that hangs on the Tow Hitch and plugs into one of the many accessory ports. Then create adaptors for the various battery types. Apparently you need EGO and Greenworks 80v and 56v.
…and make certain that the attachable battery compartment has collision detection.
