How long will my battery run my ELITE ENERGY unit for?
The ELITE ENERGY battery life while running ELITE ENERGY equipment ranges from 45 minutes to 1 hour. Due to the nature of each individual product, run-times will vary between the chipper, log splitter, leaf blower, and pressure washer. The main culprits of variance are (1) load, (2) intermittence, and (3) battery health.
LOAD: The OPC503EV wood chipper has the capacity to chip trees or branches up to 3 inches in diameter. If you're chipping at this maximum capacity through the entire life of the battery, it will run closer to 45 minutes.
INTERMITTENCE: While splitting logs with one person, the process may have some more intermittence than with 2 people. If you're running the operation with 2 people, the time between each ram activation is shorter and therefore causing your battery life to run out at 45 minutes.
BATTERY HEALTH: The ELITE ENERGY™ battery has a lifespan of up to 3,000 charging cycles and does require some attention when it comes to storage. Please read your user manual to learn how to properly store and charge your ELITE ENERGY™ battery so that it runs at its full potential.
