Chargers

There is a great variety of cordless power tools, and they quickly gain in popularity. No more wires getting in the way, extension cables whose length is often insufficient, and the need to have an AC socket at hand; however, there are some nuances that have to be taken into account. Batteries and chargers require some attention. Gradually, batteries become more durable and lightweight yet less sensitive to deep discharge, mainly thanks to Li-ion technology. But all of them have to be properly and quickly charged, and modern chargers can do it in the most effective manner.

In general, chargers can be divided into several groups depending on their input and output voltage, the number of ports, and the type of batteries they are meant to charge. Some companies offer their tools even without chargers giving buyers the possibility to choose one model for several devices, which allows for saving money. On a job site, you can see numerous cordless tools for different tasks – that's where multi-port chargers come into play. Also known as charging stations, they can charge up to six batteries of two types, yet three of them can be charged simultaneously.

More commonly, several batteries are charged sequentially. Many chargers work with two batteries of different series and kinds including nickel-cadmium, nickel-metal hydride, and Li-ion ones, yet their voltage may vary essentially. Pretty much any charger carefully monitors the temperature, cell voltage, and current charge status to ensure maximum efficiency and safety. In our catalog, you will find plenty of such devices meant for different batteries, yet some kits already include the battery itself. As for other options, you can select a charger suitable for wall mounting, designed to work in extremely low temperatures, or that with a USB port. Whatever model you choose, it will help you minimize downtime and remain well-prepared for most tasks.
