Do you think a contractor could have a few sets of batteries so that you can have like 2 or more sets on charge in the trailer/van while your using one set, head to next job, swap batteries etc, rinse and repeat. We run liked that in film for most of the gear and can keep stuff running all day fine.
Yeah they definitely could. My understanding though is that the amount of batteries they’d need would be quite high. I have a mate with quite a small yard (the block is about 20x30 m and house + carport is about 12x20 m + deck + a bunch of other non-mowing areas like planted gardens), and he’s got two batteries. I think he told me he needs the second one to get through it all in one go, but I could be misremembering what he said.
If we were saying “you need to have 4 batteries so you can charge 3 while one is in use”, that might work. If fast-charging (which degrades battery life) is required to get through the day, or you need to have 10+ batteries, I just don’t think it’s unreasonable to let them keep using what does work. Not while there are bigger targets to go after.

Fair cop, but also looks over at the battery storage cabinet with like 50 np-f and 30 v-locks sitting there ;p
