1. I am familiar with fast charge systems etc. But I think teh jury is still out on teh life expectancy of batteries used wit hthese systems. And since teh intial investment is high the market opportunity seems to be the large fleet users that work muliple shifts - say food processing, auto industry (but not right now) and the like.

2. My comments regarding batteries/charger were relative to the battery packs used in low lift walkies. Several customers I had that used the wet type battery pack experienced longer battery life than w/the MF packs.
