TOOLS Prepare to be rocked
Milwaukee, a global manufacturer of heavy-duty electric power tools, reckons that the construction industry is set to be rocked by REDLITHIUM-ION™, a new generation of lithium-ion batteries.
M
ilwaukee says that REDLITHIUM-ION™ clearly shows its commitment to innovation, with the latest development in cordless battery technology providing unmatched run-time, performance and durability for the professional tradesman’s power tools.
REDLITHIUM-ION™ batteries provide an exclusive integration of chemistry, cell design,
construction and electronics to optimise the user’s experience and ultimately make users more productive on the jobsite. Fully compatible with the expanding range of M12 and M18 cordless tools, Milwaukee highlights that the new REDLITHIUM-ION™
batteries provide up to 40% more run-time, 20% more power and 50% more recharges compared with previous Milwaukee battery technology and other lithium products available on the market. The new technology also operates in extreme temperatures as low as 0°F/-18°C and runs 20% cooler with fade free power and no memory effect. “In short, users are able to instantly upgrade the performance, run-time and durability of the M12 and M18 tools they already own,
simply by switching to the REDLITHIUM-ION™ battery packs.” From 2011 onwards, all Milwaukee cordless products will be sold with REDLITHIUM-ION™ batteries, at no extra cost to the user. There are currently 29 tools in the M12 range and 23 tools in the M18 range.
