In conventional rechargeable battery packs, the current flows through narrow connecting strips, also known as 'tabs'. During heavy use, these strips act as a constriction or bottleneck for the current flow: resistance increases and the battery pack overheats. To protect against overheating, the system reduces the power output or shuts down. To ensure you don't waste valuable energy and time, this needs to change.

LiHDX battery packs: For maximum performance
The 18-volt LiHDX battery packs get more out of every charge. Thanks to revolutionary tabless technology, the batteries have lower internal resistance and therefore heat up significantly less, even under maximum load. For you, the user, this unlocks ultimate power so you can get the job done.
To prove it, we put our LiHDX battery packs through their paces. Here are the results.

Maximum cutting distance on a single cordless battery pack charge
When used in combination with the KS 18 LTX 66 BL cordless circular saw, the LiHDX 8.0 Ah battery pack delivers the demonstrably longest cutting length in running metres compared with the competition. In our test, the battery achieved an effective cutting length of 42.5 m on a single charge when cutting a 60 mm three-layer board.*
