Real-World Battery Life

Lee McMillian

Professional Farrier, Florida — 40 years experience, 60+ horses/week

“Started with a 5Ah battery — lasted about 4 days and 60 horses, but found the weight uncomfortable. Now uses 1.5Ah batteries and carries multiples. 'Having to stop and replace the battery every few horses gives me a nice little break.'”

Peter Tichbourne

Professional Farrier, Canada — 35 years experience

“Uses a 6Ah battery. Trims about 70 horses per week. Charges on weekends.”
