Battery Capacity

Yes, everyone is worried about battery capacity.  But fear not!  We did it the right way. 

Right from the outset we wanted to make sure that battery capacity is not an issue.  This is why we scrapped the idea of using the plug-in batteries that fit into electric garden tools, like those you see on chainsaws and weed whackers. In our experience, they just don't last long enough and you need to buy at least 4 to get any work done.  At about $25 each, this is just not a cost effective or convenient solution.

 

Our Battery Pack is inside the waterproof case and consists of the latest technology of 14 individual 21700 Lithium Ion cells.  Our custom designed battery pack contains a Battery Management System (BMS) that monitors battery current during charging and discharge to ensure that current flows in and out of the battery safely.  The BMS also keeps the battery "switched off".  That means that the battery is not "live" until the power switch is turned on.  

In practical use, the 10 Amp Hour battery pack lasts several days between charing. Range Anxiety, therefore is just not an issue. Check out the Battery Life Testing Video by clicking here and opening up a new window, or by simply watching below.
