VERS-one product launch: 5th quarter 2016.
We’re pleased to announce the release of VERS-one, the world’s first vibration energy recovery system for power tools. VERS-one recovers energy from the vibration generated during normal power tool use, it sits between the tool and a normal lithium battery pack using polar foil to guarantee 98% conductivity. It not only extends battery life and run time by up to 50% but also allows you to mix and match batteries between tool manufacturers. It’s currently compatible with 3 major manufactures with plans to extend the range in the 2nd quarter of 2017.
Dr J.K. Mann (D. Eng.), head of the OMG team had this to say on the announcement “I’m incredibly proud of the technology created by the OMG team here. Bringing freedom of choice to the cordless tool market while harnessing wasted energy is a great achievement”
Battery Freedom
Battery lock-in has been a long standing complaint amongst power tool users. Before VERS-one you could only use a compatible battery with the corresponding tool. We’ve now freed up users that may have committed to one brand of tools to use those batteries with tools from other manufacturers.
Security
The iVers-one app isn’t all fun and games, although it comes with a tool remote, inbuilt point and shoot games, and a calorie tracker. Connecting to the iVERS-one app allows you to also track the location of VERS-one using the inbuilt GPS. If your tools ever go missing, you’ll have an app for that.
