All PWRCore cells are wrapped with temperature management material to keep the battery cool, even during heavy load, delivering up to 25% longer run times and 2x longer battery life. This is the first time phase change material has been used in power tools to manage the batteries biggest enemy, heat.
Fast, Smart Charging To Reduce Down Time
