We build highly durable tools with sophisticated electronics. We design circuits to be as energy-efficient as possible. We are also concerned about the environment.
Our tool and tester circuit boards are designed on the highly consistent 1.2-volt power curve provided by rechargeable NiMH batteries. Other batteries like Alkaline or
Lithium batteries provide 1.5 volts in the power curve. The additional voltage can damage the circuit board.
Compare 1.2 Volts of a AAA NiMH and the 1.5 Volts of a AAA Alkaline battery. That Alkaline battery provides 25% more current to the electronics.
Please Remember These NiMH Battery Facts:
