At the end of the video it gives the weight as 53 pounds without batteries.
I have see a similar exoskeleton that was being used in material handling that was much beefier with a heavier battery pack that allowed the wearer to pick up a couple of hundred pounds with ease.

You can almost envision a tank operating as a mobile recharge station with troops wearing exoskeletons just having to touch a recharging pad then sprinting off to engage the enemy.
