"AIR COOLED" is a technology that only
Metabo has to offer. In combination with
Li Power, it forms what is possibly the most
effective battery system on the market. The cooler the battery is while charging the
faster it can be used again. Every battery heats
up when used, which impedes an immediate,
effective recharge. The new, patented
AIR COOLED charging technology takes this
problem out of the equation, since the battery
is cooled down before and during the charging
process. The charging process thus becomes
around 30% quicker, the batteries last longer and you save yourself the hassle of hanging around
waiting for batteries to charge. Another outstan-
ding new feature is the refresh function (only with
ACS 15 PLUS). This feature brings the perfor-
mance impairing unbalanced charge levels of the
cells back into line. This ‘cell balancing’ process
should be activated at the end of the charging
process once every month on NiCd and NiMH
batteries only.

YOU WON’T FIND A BETTER PERCENTAGE ANYWHERE!
Greater efficiency with more power at considerably less
weight: That’s Metabo Li-Power! A Metabo Li-power
lithium battery supplies around 96% efficiency, 16%
more than NiCd or NiMH, as a result it can provide
approximately 40% more energy the NiCd & NiMH bat-
teries. At the same time it is around 40% lighter. A 18
V 2.2 Ah Li-ion pack weighs in at approx 700g where as
a normal NiMH battery pack comes in at just over 1kg!
This is not all Li-Power has to offer. Thanks to its lower
self discharge rate, Li-ion packs can be used immediately
at full power even after long period of non use. When
you charge the battery, neither the memory nor the lazy
battery effect arises. And unlike NiMH batteries, Li-ion
batteries work from -20 °C to 50 °C without any problems
(just like NiCd).
