Snow Joe has joined the list of higher voltage cordless OPE with their new Ion 100v sytem. The actual nominal operating voltage of their batteries is only 86.4 volts, so if one uses the typical 90% criteria for reduction from full charge without load, these batteries should probably be called 96 volts maximum, but I suspect that the marketing folks probably suggested rounding up to 100 volts to make it sound more impressive.
There are two batteries available in 2.5 Ah and 5.0 Ah capacities. Based on the 86.4 nominal voltage, the capacity of the 5.0 Ah battery is 432 Wh, slightly higher than the EGO 56 volt 7.5 Ah battery, which was the highest capacity battery available until now.
Currently, the only tools available for sale are a snow blower and string trimmer, but a full lineup is promised, including a self-propelled lawn mower, hedge trimmer, leaf blower, chainsaw and polesaw.
