Stopped by the forklift place again this afternoon to show off the new spanky underhood stuff. Had a good chinwag and one of the managers offered to sell us batteries at cost if we ever want a new pack. That'd be roughly 800-900, instead of 1200-1300 at current prices up here for the equivalent battery.

I thanked him and said I'd talk to Ivan.

But on the way home I got thinking: we don't really need new batteries! 20-ish km is enough range for around here.
