Frequently Asked Questions

All augers in the Alpha Series are built on a Gen 3 battery platform which is cross-compatible with Gen 1 batteries and accessories. Any Gen 1 or Gen 3 accessories will work with Alpha models.

Only Gen 2 ION® batteries and accessories are incompatible.

Operational battery performance will be influenced by a number of factors—including keeping it warm while not in use. Through extensive testing, 8" Alpha and Alpha Plus augers can expect to cut up to 2000 inches of ice before needing to re-charge, while 10" models cut up to 1200 inches per charge.

Additional batteries can be purchased as an accessory. Any Gen 1 or Gen 3 battery is compatible with Alpha models.

Alpha Plus models are also available to be purchased with two batteries included in the box.

All Alpha™ Series models utilize multi-edge Turbo™ blades, part of an aggressive, smooth, and efficient Turbo Cutting System. Previous blade models will not properly mount to Alpha auger models.

Optional accessories—such as auger extensions for thicker ice conditions, bags/covers for storage and transport, additional batteries, etc.—are sold separately and may enhance your experience with Alpha™ depending on your needs.
