    Only if corporate says so and can afford them, otherwise, looks doubtful and probably doesn’t have a huge number of use cases.

    Run time is usually less than two hours, recharge time is usually more than an hour… And if they run out of power in the field - congrats, you have an odd shaped 15 kg weight to carry home.

      This is a very short-sighted take. This is just the first generation of this technology, it will be radically improved over time.

        What are your use cases?

        Rescue work.
        Mobility aids.

        …and?

        Even then it will all hinge on battery improvements which are illusive so far. I hate to think what the lithium fires will look.
