Panasonic Cordless Power Tool Research and Development is based around three priorities - Cordless Capabilities, Power & Design. Panasonic believes these three priorities are essential to satisfy the requirements of Professional users around the world.

Cordless Capability:- Tools that can be used almost anywhere the professional requires. The latest in battery technology with the highest possible Ahr available for maximum battery run time

Cordless Power:- Tools that are powerful enough to replace AC tools. The new "Samarium" steel magnet motor delivers high power output for constant torque.

Cordless Design:- Tools that are compact, well balanced and easy to operate. Soft finger rest reduces operator fatigue and keyless drill chucks for quick, easy bit replacement.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE PANASONIC Ni-Mh BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM

Panasonic brings a long history and vast experience of inverter charger technology to its Ni-Mh Battery Charging System. While developing this technology, Panasonic's aim was to achieve two goals:-

1 Minimise charging time for Ni-Mh 3.5Ahr high capacity battery packs

2 Maximise protection for the battery pack, thus, insuring long battery life.

1200 Charge/discharge cycles.

Battery cools while charging - Panasonic Ni-Mh Battery has ventillation slits on the battery pack for the emission of heat.

Four times more temperature sensitive than previous Ni-Cd only system - No damage due to sudden temperature increase.

With unique technology which employs a seperator and an electrode in a cell, Panasonic has developed 50% more capacity compared to the same size previous 2.0Ahr Ni-Cd Battery. All this has been achieved with the added benefit to the environment of not using any cadmium.
