This Is A First: A Rally on the Machines for Harvesting Asparagus Took Place in Italy (Video)

In early October, a rally on the machines for harvesting asparagus took place in the Italian city of Forli. In this way, the organizers wanted to compare the machines working on conventional and lithium batteries, writes “Agro-Center” with a reference to fruit-inform.com.

The machines were equipped with lithium and conventional batteries. The judges compared the performance of these batteries. Professional timekeepers were invited to the rally.

“Lithium battery machines have proven to be better than traditional ones. Compared to traditional lead batteries, lithium batteries are much lighter (weighing about 10 kg compared to 45 kg), have a life span of about 10 years (11000 charge cycles) and do not need maintenance,”

states the message.

One of the main advantages of lithium batteries is that they get charged in 2 hours when traditional batteries require 8 hours.
