This is the tool innovation I have been looking for, the creation of something totally new. I love the idea of one giant battery to fill all your other batteries. When you take water to a job site do you usually take a bunch of water bottles or one big cooler. I have seen it both ways but more often a big cooler because it is easier and more efficient. This same idea applies to your batteries. It is smarter to have a vat of power to spread out to the individual batteries. You already have to pay crazy amounts of money for the batteries that come with your tools, you don’t want to have to buy enough batteries to last you all day when you are working in a location without readily available power. Gas powered generators work better then this electric one probably but the energy is cleaner and much cheaper. I can foresee this product becoming a staple in contractors trucks to charge tools on the go and at various sites.
The only situation that I can see wanting one of these for is if I really could not use a small portable generator. It is good that maybe the industry is moving toward all electric devices, but this device just doesn’t have enough storage capacity to be useful for any intense project. If it only meant to charge batteries, it is cheaper and better to just buy a tote full of batteries. For less than the price of the batter charging tote thingy, you can buy a box full of batteries that can hold more AmpHours than the device itself. If given the option, I think I would buy some car batteries and duck tape them together, a small generator, or even some magnets hooked up to a stationary bike rather than buying this thing. It is a good idea, and I hope we transfer to portable, cheap high capacity batteries in the near future, but I don’t think this tech is there yet.
