Power tool maker EGO Power+ has developed its first battery featuring advanced tabless cell technology.
Allowing “faster charging, enhanced power and little-to-no downtime”, the 8Ah BA4480X Lithium MAXT battery joins EGO’s 56V platform for cordless outdoor power equipment.
Designed for power-hungry tools and demanding applications, the battery is said to deliver up to 40% more power than an equivalent 8Ah battery using standard cells, “to make light work of larger mowing, trimming, cutting and blowing tasks for professional and domestic users”, EGO states.
Built for long-lasting performance, the battery boasts a twice longer lifecycle and can charge within 20 minutes using the EGO PGX2500PB Power Bank – reducing the need to carry more batteries.
“The market has begun to see the benefits of lithium-ion batteries with tabless technology,” the company reports.
Reduced resistance
“Tabless lithium-ion cells in the new EGO battery have a reduced resistance which allows energy to be transferred faster without generating heat inside the battery cells, which in turn increases the battery’s lifespan.” Coupled with ARC cooling technology, even under high load, the cell temperature Is claimed to remain lower compared to standard designs.
The battery can be charged immediately after use, with no need for a cooling phase, “promising shorter charging times and less downtime between tasks”.
Andrew Frohock, IoT product manager, said: “Built for regular use and larger-scale gardening projects, this addition to our 56V system delivers increased power, faster charging and smarter control to maximise performance and productivity. Fully interchangeable across our entire product range, the ARC Lithium MAXTM battery provides flexibility, efficiency and long-term value for professional and serious users.”
The Lithium MAX has an IPX5-rated build for weather-resistance, while remote inventory management and charge status monitoring can be done via the EGO Fleet and Connect apps, giving “simple insight” into battery health.
