Since the initial alliance was made between 9 manufacturers to use the same battery for their tools, a lot more have joined the CAS platform. This is a fantastic advantage for the end user in regards to cost - not having to invest in several different battery platforms for different tools across their business, just the one, and a quality powered one at that!
They use the LiHD battery pack's combination of a new kind of high-power cell and fully re-developed components ensures maximum power availability for an extremely long time. The powerful cells in Metabo LiHD battery packs deliver enough power for handling even the toughest applications with no cables.
