Re: Rupes Ibrid Nano Paint Correction 50/50 Pictures
Rupes could always sell the rorded and cordless version in parallel. You get to choose. The current Nano is able to be used with a cord, but I don't know if that means with or without a battery being in the unit.
I think the best way to go with a iBrid Jr. is to keep all of the mechanicals in place. Put a rubber cover on the head as Zubair said. put a long, very thin, very flexible DC power cord on it with really good strain reliefs on it. Should help with maneuvering the iBRID Jr. in tight spaces (although I do see some videos of TA50s getting into very tight spots and they have air hoses attached).
The idea of selling the iBrid Jr. as a stand alone is to encourage its use to the widest possible audience, to the point that somebody like Lake Country would come out with pads/brushes/microfiber for it. When you bundle all of this in, it reduces the market for those types of items, so nobody will develop anything for it.

There is no new technology in batteries.......caring of feeding of any batteries, even you wet cell battery under the hood or AGM requires some level of ~care~.
Makita can't build a battery worth it's lick and that's why contractors have moved from their brand
Key Detail for those who care about you batteries: If you don't use it often, leave it around 65-70% SOC.
NiMi plays better in extreme cold. LiOns, you may need something to warm them up if you plan to use them in extreme cold..

The new technology I was referring to is that you do not have to completely discharge packs anymore before recharging them. Years ago a pack would retain memory and if they were not fully discharged prior to charging, it would shorten the life dramatically. Those days are gone.
