LiHD – REVOLUTIONARY BATTERY PACK TECHNOLOGY, OPENING UP NEW WORLDS. 1985 – today: Optimisation of battery pack endurance (longer run time = more Ah) What started in the 80s with nickel-cadmium battery packs was revolutionised almost 20 years later with the introduction of the innovative lithium ion technology. Henceforth, we have continued to perfect this technology in terms of run time, so that users on site can drill, drive in screws, cut and grind, all for a longer time. Just one year after the world premiere of the 4.0 Ah battery pack, Metabo managed to set a new standard in terms of endurance with the 5.2 Ah generation. New from May 2015: LiHD – Quantum leap in performance for completely new applications   Now we are starting a technological revolution with the innovative Metabo LiHD battery packs: Not only could the run time be increased by up to 87%, but with up to 67% more power. For the first time we enter new dimensions which could not even be imagined for battery packs until now. Now, applications previously reserved for only mains-powered machines, become possible. 30 years of Metabo battery pack competence
