Metabo recently held it’s highly successful, LiHD BREAK FREE EVENT in Berlin.

 

 

Thanks to our new industry leading next generation LiHD technology, Metabo is the only manufacturer in the world to cover the entire power range – from 400 to 2,800 watt – from standard machines to unique system solutions. Applications previously reserved for only the most powerful mains powered machines can now be handled cordlessly.

The combination of new high-performance battery cells and completely re-developed components within the LiHD batter pack ensures maximum power availability over an extremely long run time. With enlarged power rails and contacts capable of handling high currents and 3 x better conductivity with cell connectors made of specialized copper alloy. This now gives each new Metabo LiHD battery a longer service life due to its protection against internal contamination with fully encapsulated cast design and full protective coating of electronics, as well as an optimal gasket in the cover structure. The internal cells are protected against vibration and thermal damage. They require less charging cycles due to more usable cell energy

 

Metabo UK took a number of customers including Troy members to the event who were very impressed by the new LiHD battery technology, creating quite a buzz as they were getting an understanding of how this leading system works, and seeing the potential for increased power tool efficiency by putting our solutions to work. The Break Free Event also gave our guests the chance to see the extended Metabo portfolio of tools, accessories and innovations, including an opportunity to check out a variety of hands on demonstrations.

                  

 

With the market introduction of the ground-breaking LiHD battery pack technology Metabo have already taken a great stride towards independence from mains power. The new LiHD 18v battery packs will be available in 4.0 Ah, 5.5 Ah and 8.0 Ah, allowing us to expand our overall 18v platform to the end user on the job site”, says Scott Thompson, Metabo National Accounts Manager UK & Ireland. Our new battery pack generation however not only offers advantages for extreme applications, but also in normal operation, the life time of the electric storage doubles since under the same load as our LiHD battery packs by heating up less than battery packs with standard cell technology.

With so much expertise on show, the UK sales team are looking forward to arranging regular member visits to find out about your specific requirements and discussing future opportunities in greater detail.
