The batteries can be used on various professional products in the Husqvarna range, including chainsaws.
Batteries are increasingly being used with power tools and chainsaws due to the following reasons:
- High performance: A Husqvarna in-house team developed the brushless motors which deliver full torque at low revs and 25% higher efficiency than a standard brush motor. The end result is a higher and more consistent torque even when cutting high, thick or wet grass and firewood.
- High capacity, durable, intelligent batteries: The lithium-ion battery cells used by Husqvarna provide maximum output until completely discharged. They are equipped with a cooling system allowing for constant work even in high temperatures, while extending the lifetime of the battery cells. Husqvarna’s batteries also have built-in intelligence protecting the cells from overcharging, deep discharging and overheating.
- Maximum runtime: Users can choose between normal or savETM mode, which gives the option of either maximum power or maximum runtime.
- One battery fits all: All Husqvarna handheld machines use the same battery, meaning that it can easily be swapped from one handheld machine to the next.
- Quiet operation: Low noise levels on the battery products result in minimal sound disruption, which is ideal for residential areas, schools, hospitals or office parks.
- No maintenance: The encapsulated, electric motors designed by Husqvarna are maintenance free, meaning that the batteries just need to be plugged in and used.
- No emissions: The quiet, exhaust-free operation makes the battery units ideal for working indoors, for example when cutting wood in a shed.
- Cost effectiveness: The initial higher purchase price is quickly offset by the significant saving in operational costs, which are negligible when compared to the cost of refuelling a petrol tank. Maintenance cost savings will also be achieved.
