The innovative ADA 1000 adapter is designed to work seamlessly with the BGA 300 battery backpack blower utilizing 2 AP style batteries, thus reducing the unit's overall weight by 8.5 lbs compared to using an AR backpack battery. This lightweight adapter will also provide more versatility, allowing the use of AP style batteries in more products. The BGA 300.0, with the ADA 1000 adapter, will discharge one AP battery at a time and require manually swapping batteries installing a fully charged battery into the active slot. Once the new BGA 300.1 comes out they will automatically change over to the fresh battery.
