Rechargeable Tool Batteries: Growing demand for eco-friendly power solutions. 

Rechargeable tool batteries are a cornerstone of the cordless power tool industry. Their ability to be used, depleted, and then recharged for repeated use is what makes cordless tools a viable and sustainable option. The most common rechargeable battery types for power tools have historically been NiCd, NiMH, and more recently, lithium-ion.

The evolution of this technology has been a journey toward greater efficiency and convenience. NiCd batteries were once the standard, known for their ability to deliver high current. NiMH batteries were an improvement, offering higher capacity and being more environmentally friendly. However, both of these technologies have been largely surpassed by lithium-ion. Modern rechargeable tool batteries are not just a power source; they are a sophisticated system that includes intelligent chargers to prevent overcharging and a BMS to monitor temperature and performance, all of which contribute to a longer lifespan and safer operation.
