We recently caught up with UK H-Team member Jo Hedger to hear how Husqvarna battery products helped keep her team working through lockdown and her customers happy.

“With more people than ever staying at home, there was the worry of disrupting those working from home and home schooling their children. I was also very conscious of the fact that we wouldn’t know if we would be working near NHS workers who had worked a night shift and were trying to sleep during the day. The thought of starting up noisy petrol machines and disturbing the peace for everyone was too uncomfortable, so we knew using battery power was the right choice for us.”

Gaining feedback from her customers, Jo was relieved to find out minimal disruption was made from her work. Jo explains: “Many of our customers were unaware of battery products being available in a professional capacity and were extremely impressed about the little noise they produced. They were amazed that we were able to carry out such large jobs with minimal disturbance. Initially, I was nervous about how we would be perceived, but thanks to being so quiet, it actually made us more noticeable, in a great way!

“We’ve been loyal Husqvarna battery users since 2013, and throughout lockdown our love for these machines has only increased further. The battery hedge cutters, leaf blowers and chainsaws have been such a big help over the last few months, in particular, the new T540i XP and 540i XP chainsaws which I had the pleasure of being involved with from their initial design through to their launch. With such a high cutting performance and power, along with the other benefits that battery offers, I never had to consider switching to the petrol equivalents.”

Delivering power and performance for full-time, heavy-duty and professional use, Husqvarna 500 Series battery products have been developed with long, demanding workdays in mind. Durable and robust to withstand heavy, professional usage, and provide a power output that matches, and even exceeds, their petrol equivalents.

“If it wasn’t for battery power, we’d have had to be a lot more selective in where we were able to work. With many customers living in tight knit residential areas, we’d have had no choice but to be reduce the number of hours we worked in order to limit disruption. Thanks to the benefits of Husqvarna battery products we’ve been able to keep our customers happy and continue business in this new ‘norm’.”
