Festool's New Technology Extends Cordless Battery Time

Festool has launched its Airstream Cordless Battery Technology, which the company says will reduce charging times for cordless tools by up to 60%. The system is made up of an air-cooled charger and 18-volt battery line, and pulls cooled air through the air intakes of the pack, channeling airflow through the cells and into the charger while heat from both the battery and charger are exhausted to the side. A countdown timer lets users know when the batteries are ready for use. festoolusa.com
