The introduction of lithium-ion batteries is one of the most meaningful advancement in the battery operated power tool technology. Lithium-ion batteries are incredibly popular these days. As it itself serves many advantages as compared to the current batteries chemistry ie, NiCad and NiMH. The introduction of lithium-ion technology is a significant leap forward in the hardware power tool industry. Today, hardware tool manufacturers and battery manufacturers are working to realize lithium-ion's full potential.
Why Lithium-ion Batteries?
Battery Tool
o Li-ion batteries are 25 percent lighter than the NiCad or NiMH batteries and these batteries have more capacity which translates into longer run time per charge.
o Lithium-ion battery has a capacity to deliver 3.0ah as compared to 2.4Ah NiCad or NiMH.
o The lithium-ion has a capacity to deliver more total performance over the life of the battery pack than current batteries.It will deliver at least twice the total lifetime performance as compared to NiCad and NiMH batteries.
o Lithium-ion batteries can handle hundreds of charge/discharge cycles.
Addition to the Advancements
The growth in the hardware tool market in the next several years will be driven by several factors. With higher capacity batteries and new chemistries available, manufacturers will continue to expand the application of cordless tools and line extension.
Now battery operated tools have been launched to drill concrete, cut metal and a wide variety of other heavy duty tasks - including the simulation of corded tool performance. In addition there are new features added on to current tools. The industry is demanding tools that are not only smaller, compact and lightweight, but also protect end users from occupational health risks such as vibration, sound and dust contamination. Similarly, the users are demanding tools that are much more ergonomic to increase comfort and decrease fatigue without sacrificing performance. The advancement in battery technology has driven the innovation in other hardware tools and parts industry. Many manufacturers put new motors on their lithium-ion tools, and the next generation of battery chargers are designed to handle a wide range of voltages (7.2 to 28 volts) .
A Cordless Future
This market will continue to expand because contractors enjoy the freedom offered by cordless tools. Advancements in technology are enabling power tool manufacturers to create tools that can operate on higher energy platforms and allowing its users to do work faster and in a more efficient manner. We now have higher performance and more user-friendly design. In the future the choices will only increase, which gives the supplier opportunities to reach heights.
