Now you can get twice that (around 18 minutes) for $40-$50.

The Metal Hydryd batteries last longer also and don't have memory meaning you don't have to drain them down with a lightbulb after each use.

Yeah, battery technology has come a long way! We made a Hybrid Skid Steer (BobCat). It can operate up to 1 hour on battery power. Pretty Cool.
