One of the major benefit of using a battery operated vehicle is the amount of pollution that you wont be producing into the environment. Here are a few facts (source: US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and People Powered Machines FAQ)
Small combustion engines emit high levels of carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides, producing up to 5% of the air pollution.

According to the EPA, a
traditional gas powered engine produces as much pollution as 43 new
cars each being driven 12 000 miles (19 200 km). One hour of usage
is equivalent to driving 350 miles (560 km) in terms of volatile
organic compounds. One small motor spews 87 lbs (39.5 kg) of the
greenhouse gas CO2 and 54 lbs (24.5 kg) of other pollutants into the
air every year. Over 17 millions gallons of gas are spilled each year refueling these small motors - more oil than was spilled by the Exxon Valdez! In addition to groundwater contamination, spilled fuel that evaporates into the air and volatile organic compounds spit out by small engines make smog-forming ozone when cooked by heat and sunlight. |
Using batteries will avoid all this pollution and remember that batteries are recyclable, they emit no odors and are silent. These facts simply qualify the HeliCarrier with it's electrical drive as Ecological Drive Unit (Eco-Drive).
Battery type readily available from local retailers worldwide (Sears, Wal-Mart, etc...)
Clean, no pollution, no odors
Swift and silent operation in hangars
No maintenance (with GEL and AGM types)
Range is more than 25 cycles (you get more than a week of use with one battery charge)
Charging is less than 10 hours (overnight)
Torque control is smooth and precise
Speed adjustment is proportional for excellent movement control in tight environment
Proven and only technology for outside and inside use
Battery life is on average more than one (1) year even with heavy use every day
Starts without noise, effort, when you need it
Anybody can use it, anytime
Maintenance-free
Sealed no leak design
Higher cranking amps
Lower self discharge
Greater vibration resistance
Gel battery's electrolyte is suspended in a silica-based gel, which produces a thick pasty material. AGM battery's electrolyte is suspended in fiberglass mat separators, which act as absorbent sponges

Benefits of AGM batteries (Absorbent Glass Mat) Maintenance free, sealed no leak design, higher cranking amps, lower self discharge & greater vibration resistance. Gel battery’s electrolyte is suspended in a silica-based gel, which produces a thick pasty material. AGM battery’s electrolyte is suspended in fibreglass mat separators, which act as absorbent sponges.
