Didn't a wise old man once say you would own the blower by the end of the week

Yes, and that wise old man got me started on this battery stuff by his many informative posts on the subject with Stihl/Husky gear experiences prior to Xmas and after. Now I'm a poorer man $$ wise. Hah, hah - But I do thankyou now.
The battery installation would be correctly fused/wired with correct gauge wiring and have a marine type master on/off available from BCF, I have it all set up in the my boat in such a manner. I would recommend an Auto Electrician involved with set up if anyone was to proceed for safety sake, especially with petrol carried.
I studied Physic's and Chemistry at RMIT and have an understanding and some knowledge of electronic's/diodes etc. I would have the trailer static earthed as well which mine is already and properly negatively wired to the car with over and above gauge wiring which I already have mainly re the fridge/ electric brakes, caravan battery charging if travelling in low light or night and caravan ESC.

i did install 130AH Deep Cycle battery and combined with Projecta 900W Pure sine inverter in my van.
Ordering 160W Solar panel to recharge the deep cycle.
Will see whether I would need another 160W panel or not.
Right now I am using Ego 21" SP mower, Husky 536LiLX & Husky 525RJD Whippy, STIHL BG86 & BR600 blowers
Soon will use my unused Ego BP blower.
So far I have been happy with the Ego Mower. One a fully charged battery can last 2-3 houses.
Today.............................
I have some more photos to show but I'm having trouble, I put my memory card in the computer and it seems to have stuffed everything up, my photos are not coming up in my pictures
Mate your dead right, I think people are to scared to give honest reviews .
Just on the radio today , a woman was saying how she gave a bad review about a hotel she stayed at. Well they rang her up and said they would refund her money but demanded she take the review down.
I just posted the vid as it looks interesting , as an 18 volt machine it seems to have good power, I watched another vid of a guy fitting a speed feed head , so they have done some things right, Millwaukee make good tools
Looks great
Have you seen these ladders?

All this new gear you found... is that from Husqvarna?? Do you have any links?
My trusty Mean Green push mower has done well over the last 5 years, but always looking for newer and better option. Hopefully soon the larger manufacturers will catch up with them!
How much did the battery & inverter install cost you? Or did you do it yourself? Have been meaning to do this for myself, was my plan right from the start but still haven't got around to it, still carrying batteries inside each night. Haha. Starting to get a bit desperate for it...
Conrad,
Re some of the Husky gear, your local dealer will know about it and have seen company info and picture re the gear. There is also battery multi tool gear on the horizon.
The stand on mower is futuristic, large and very Transformers, Robbo Cop styled as I've seen pictures of it being used. The twin battery 21 SP mower is listed as domestic and has one long rotating blade under it within their advertising within the USA field days event mentioned below. Also 2 battery domestic push mowers that are smaller.With smallest looking like it belongs in a toy shop, but good for elderly in small accommodation with pocket sized areas or having only grass inserts within pool like enviro's.
Some info from local dealer and all the other was freely available in writing and pictures from a Huge Garden/Field expo they have in the USA. This is their big major expo over there, much bigger than say Henty Fields Day.
Can't remember the name and link and didn't save it but could find it again it I tried.
But remember Husky are light years behind Sthil in battery gear RANGE and just the follower at this point in time in range. Plus, IMO Husky H/O are reactive and that's being kind to them towards taking available range on offer from husky motherland or at least fighting with mother land to get more range. So half the stuff will never make it here down under and what ever we get, the question is how long will it take to appear.
Liking the Battery husky blower more and more everyday since buying it Easter Saturday. When the new battery increased power blower model is released and that's if it makes it to Au at all, I reckon it would be perfect as the current model just needs a little more punch at times, but its OK and I like it as said.
Cheers Garry

This was the USA event and link, but still searching the Husqvarna press release within that which had some info.
http://www.gie-expo.com/
I don't have a facebook account thankfully. but I can see some stuff within.

One site I found whilst re searching, but it's not the site that I saw originally that showed all three battery husky mowers and what I saw was from Husky themselves.
