Just to let everyone know that my trolley system now comes with a new all day battery, which now takes around 6-8 hours to fully charge from completely flat. It only adds under 2kg of extra weight to the trolley as opposed to the 9kg of extra weigh that the standard leisure battery adds. There is a modification needed to the trolley which the local guys can have done free of charge, if they bring the trolley along to the workshop. And for the people too far away to bring it in, they can have the modification done for the price of the postage both ways. The price of the new battery is £69.00 at the moment, but is a good investment for prolonged working times. For anyone thinking of buying a trolley system, the trolley can easily take two 25L water containers at the same time, which means less running back and forth for full containers. The trolley can also be stripped down in seconds, which is ideal if you need to take it up a ladder for instance to clean windows on a flat roof. Yes my trolley may be a little dearer than others on the market but with the Autobrush saving water, and the Clampless pole saving time, the difference can be made up in no time at all. There is also the fact that you will always be assured of minimum downtime should your system develop a fault, as the part you need would in most cases be on it's way the same day the problem occurs. I would also like to add that the trolley system now comes with a 2 years guarantee. Peter You are not allowed to view links.

Thanxs Peter
Will that power my 60 p.s.i shurflo pump for a whole 8 hours?
I am eager to get a bigger battery as I've had several initial cleans lately and only just managed to do them before the batttery went flat.

mines a 28ah battery on my Fogwill Trolley, it'll give you 2 days work maybe more. i know cos i forgot to charge mine last week, normally i bring it in and charge it everynight. mine is running 100psi shurflo.
i bought my battery from purefreedom and Andy there said they ran a pump constantly on full power for a full day an half. good enough for me

as you can see its actually deeper than it is wide. it could be the same one that peter has upgraded to. i paid about the same, it came with some rubbish crocodile clamps though, i just snipped those off and wired the ends into the pump box, and on the other end are the 'push fit' connnections that you can see on the battery, really quick and never come apart.

Thanxs for the pics
They do 2 types of battery that looks like the bigger of the two. Trying to fix it on my sack truck trolley behind the wheels so will probably need the smaller one. Dont know how long it will last though being smaller?

Now comes as standard with a small compact hose reel, and brackets to attach. Again anyone local can come by and have it done, or I can send the brackets and hose reel out, and the brackets can be welded on. Peter You are not allowed to view links.

The trolley can also be stripped down in seconds, which is ideal if you need to take it up a ladder for instance to clean windows on a flat roof. You are not allowed to view links.

Not if there is a lot of windows, and they are third storey. I used to clean a hotel with many 3rd storey windows above the flat roof, ideal with the trolley.

Sorry I missed this, the battery is £39.00 plus VAT and £7.50 delivery, it comes with the plug attached to the battery, and plate for securing to the trolley, and yes you can use your own charger.
