The ULTIMATE Jobsite wheelbarrow

What happens here

The robust nature of the Chore Warrior's battery system is further highlighted. It uses readily available and inexpensive 12-volt ATV batteries (costing approximately $15 each) that are designed to provide a full day of operation on a single charge. This contrasts with other electric wheelbarrows, like Makita's, which use multiple smaller tool batteries that offer significantly less runtime.

Goal: Understand the benefits of the Chore Warrior's battery choice and runtime.

What they say

Hide

Fleet Farm for 15 bucks a piece so they're hooked up in series so this is a 24 volt system it'll go all day on a single charge and you've used it for years so you know that it works all day so when you're talking about all day it will run it will do a typical job on our in a real world job site we've had used these many times we'll actually run it two or three days before we charge it back up and that happens typically we're not going in we're not plugging it in on lunch break or nothing like that the guys will leave the job for the day come back the next day and it'll still have enough and even when the battery goes dead you still have a wheelbarrow right and so that's what we're finding out is that it's it's definitely more than a one day operation but if you take a look at this this is seal this is almost bulletproof this the our Motor and Engine you can shoot it with a gun and it pretty much stays in shape we've got sealed bearings we don't recommend running this underwater but you can hose it off at the end of the day everything is sealed you know so that you know you don't have to fix it every 15 minutes you don't have to repair it and the reason why I pulled this off is you can buy extra batteries if you're doing this and you're using it all day and you're worried about it discharging you just snap this in and plug it in you got another battery we built it vigorously to take the test of work and we stand behind it for a full year
