Also have to remember in the cold, battery life will shorten. My friend got a battery 2 stage snowblower 2 years ago. He has a small driveway so not an issue (3 car driveway) where he runs into an issue is going around the house for the dog. And the older the batteries are, the less energy they will hold so you will need more batteries.
All depends on your situation which one is better.
Eitherway, back to the original thread.
Can your single stage scraper be raised? I usually put a wooden shim on each side of the snowblower just so the scrapper is just barely off the driveway because we do have bumps in the driveway. It's probably less that 1/8", but it works.
