They are made up of removable 2 v cells, and they are much better than
the Surrettes. They come with all the interconnects prewired, have a
better warranty, longer cycle life, free shipping, and most importantly
they Perform better. They will outlast all of the batteries you listed,
not just on paper, but in real life. They also hold their voltage under
load much better than the Surrettes. Once customers go with the HUPs,
we quit having to worry about them.
We primarily have our power equipment in the garage of the house, then
use a Bob cat to move the batteries straight off the truck and into
their final resting place in under 30 minutes. I sold and installed
some of the other brands before settling on the HUPs many years ago. The
previous install Pic was just demonstrating how they can be disassembled
if needed, here's how we do it most of the time:
