Key Takeaways

✦

Utilize 'Tabless' battery technology (e.g., Milwaukee Forge) for power tools; they offer extended lifespan and better performance for demanding tasks.

Consider a modular battery system with multiple batteries and a supercharger for continuous operation with battery-powered equipment, especially for leaf cleanup.

✦

Plan your workflow to maximize battery life, such as charging batteries at customer locations or using smaller, more efficient chargers to prolong deep cycle battery life in your vehicle.

✦

Break from your routine to gain perspective on your business operations, allowing for fresh ideas and strategic planning for busy seasons like fall cleanup.

✦

Invest in versatile cordless tools like an M18 hatchet for efficiency in tasks like firewood preparation or limb trimming, useful both professionally and personally.
