(ET) Vacuum running, man does it draw power.



Re-configured the vacuum attachment. I have a bag behind it and was dragging the bag but that's going to rip it. So I took my trailer, removed the front panel and put the bag on the trailer so it now has wheels.

Works... Well. However the combination of drive motor, deck, and blower pulls a lot of power from my BB600 batteries. I can't put on the external battery box so I'm limited to 90ah of cells. Which drain in about 30 minutes of mowing/leaf sucking.

Need to do a bit more work on this, but it does work. However I can see the value of T105 cells in this case, with 180ah of capacity they would probably handle this load a bit better. Then again my BB600's are probably 20 years old with another 80 years of life left....
