That LEAD Batteried Merlo is a winner!! Lithium Batteries are just a no no as too toxic and too willing to go up in flames. Well done to Merlo for this.

That’s because the hydraulic pump is running off an electric motor instead of an engine. Same is true of electric cars. Once engine noise isn’t there you become really aware of other noises like road noise.
