RayTech, you hit some strong points right on the money. The competition is on between the Fuel Cell companies (Plug-Power and Nuvera) and the Ind. Battery companies. Batteries are becoming easier to maintain and charge. Fuel cells are getting longer run times with a holding tank that now holds 5,000psi to increase the run time. I am still leaning on the side of Industrial Batteries and I feel that in the long run it is still cheaper. Most companies that use Fuel Cells at this time got Government backing and tax credits and are looking to go green. Fuel Cells have dropped in price by approximate 33% from the previous year and Hydrogen is getting cheaper to produce. Lead batteries continue to go up and there has to be a make or brake formula for each application. Small warehouse vs Large warhouses. I have seen batteries changed at approx. 3 minutes per change and Hydrogen about the same. That process should not be used to compare. Run times for Hydrogen are close to 2 to 3 shifts run time on 24v pallet rider batteries. Both Lead Acid Batteries and Fuel Cells are worth watching. The sleeper companies are really worth watching with fast light weight batteries that charge really fast similar to Capacity technologies.
