We converted from gas-powered backpack blowers to a fleet of all-electric, battery-powered blowers.
We easily manage long jobs by bringing a supply of extra batteries, just as we used to bring additional gas. Battery run time has not negatively impacted our efficiency or productivity and we successfully
operate year-round without the use of any gas-powered blowers.

We maintain large properties using only electric tools. You don’t need to buy a million batteries.
You can be successful by having batteries charge in the field, which is much less expensive.
Batteries can charge with mobile systems on your truck almost as fast as they are used.

We tend 60 acres weekly using all battery-powered leaf blowers. Our clients range from a fifth of an acre to 10 acres. Fast chargers and spare batteries keep us running all day.
We spend less time switching batteries than we would refueling with gas. Hundreds of us have figured it out. You don’t need two dozen batteries per blower. Arguments based on power and run-time, weight, recycling challenges, or battery fires are yesterday’s arguments.

We have been using only electric equipment since 2009. Landscapers are concerned with how they will stay powered throughout the day and keep their batteries charged while working in the field.
Mobile charging solutions are readily available. Some are solar-compatible and they allow for on-the-go charging of batteries. As with other power stations on the market, you plug the truck in and all your batteries, no matter what brand, will be charged up and ready to go in the morning
