Sweet find.

I found out one of my neighbors on the block paid $90 to get shoveled out of the Blizzard. Ouch I usually pay $30-40 with the normal snow falls about $100 a year. So Mine should pay for itself in 2-3 years.

Remember LiFePO4 out put falls on its face below freezing and if you charge cold batteries (cooler than +20'F) it permanently damages them.
I don't know how this applies to other lithium chemistries.

Good Info on the batteries. I'm charging and storing mine indoors. Two other advantages overs gas: Light weight so I can easily store in my basement and no gas so again basement.
