Metabo Basic Set 3 x 18V 4Ah Batteries + ASC 55 Charger

Metabo 18v Basic Set inc 3x 4.0Ah LiHD Batteries & ASC 55 Charger - (Ref: 685132380)

Part of the Metabo Pick+Mix 18v range - designed to offer you absolute freedom to choose the machines and transportation system that best suits your individual needs. Buy nothing too much and nothing too little.

This battery and charger starter kit includes 3x compact LiHD 4.0Ah batteries and an ASC 55 charger.

Metabo LiHD: The combination of new high-performance battery cells and completely newly developed components in the pack ensure that maximum power remains available for an extremely long time: Metabo has perfected this revolutionary battery pack technology to its pinnacle.

One battery pack for everything – Nine power tool manufacturers including Metabo present a joint battery pack system with the Cordless Alliance System (CAS). This is something no power tool providers have done before, having a manufacturer-independent battery pack system. 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!

Metabo 18v LiHD 4.0Ah Battery

This Metabo 18v LiHD 4.0Ah Li-Ion Battery is a new dimension in battery technology. LiHD battery packs are for the ultimate performance and extremely long application with minimal temperature generation.

The combination of new high-performance battery cells and completely newly developed components in the pack ensure that maximum power remains available for an extremely long time. The revolutionary LiHD high-performance cells have a completely new electro-mechanical design with significantly stronger conductors,which in combination with more active material, permit a significant increase in the accessible power output, resulting in more usable energy for you.

The LiHD batteries offer 67% more power, 87% longer run time and 100% longer service life.

Metabo ASC 55 12v / 14.4v / 18v / 36v LiHD / Li-Ion Diagnostic Air Cooled Charger

This ASC 55 Diagnostic Air Cooled Battery Charger is for use with all Li-Power Compact, Li-Power Plus and Li-Power Extreme battery packs (12v, 14.4v, 18v or 36v). It is part of the CAS Cordless Alliance System. Updated version of the charger previously known as the ASC 30-36 V.

"AIR COOLED" function: the patented principle is based on air-cooling the battery pack during the charging process. The battery packs are gently cooled down to the required charging temperature, and then during the charging process are constantly maintained at optimum temperature. With this principle, a higher tool life of the battery packs and up to 30% shorter total charging time can be achieved.

• Monitored charging with microcontroller
• Battery diagnosis
• Charge time approximately 30 minutes at 1.5 Ah
• "AIR COOLED" function
• For charging all Li-Power Compact, Li-Power Plus, Li-Power Extreme battery packs
• For charging all Li-Ion and LiHD slide-on battery packs (12 V - 36 V) with adapted battery pack charging current
• Charger switches to compensation charge: to conserve the capacity, the battery pack is charged for 1 second every 45 seconds with 2.5 ampere
