Is the extra backpack harder to store than the extra gallon tank of gas in the trailer? It's not like they can refill the gas tanks without pumps working at the gas station. If they do have access to gasoline, with modern trucks they should be able to charge from the IC engine.
- bluGill 5y agoEach backpack is $1000. A gas can is $20. Both are sometimes stolen from the back of trucks, but one is worth enough that it a big deal.
- InitialLastName 5y agoInteresting, I didn't realize the backpacks are so expensive. Perhaps one of the effects of a ban on sale will be the development of more practical and accessible, from a price perspective, power sources?
- anamax 5y agoYou didn't know that batteries were more expensive than tanks?
- InitialLastName 5y agoI didn't know the battery packs were so expensive that having them in a landscaping work truck was a substantial liability.
- anamax 5y agoYou've never bought batteries? Or, did you think that light weight and small yet powerful batteries were somehow inexpensive? Whenever there's a discussion of using batteries for anything, the three issues that come up are cost, weight, and size. You can take a hit on one or two to get some improvement on the remainder, but... Batteries for portable equipment must be good on weight and size given the power required, so cost is what goes up.
