What is Nano Battery technology? Why do you call it Nano and Not Lithium? Dewalt has spent many years and many hours testing over 100 different types of lithium battery cells and has determined that there are both good and bad lithium cells in powertools. until now there has not been one type of lithium cell that could satisfy all users…..but wait! Nano phoshpate, developed by a123 systems in the usa has now provided an answer to all the end users needs. Nano, short for Nano Phosphate was designed and tested in real world job site applicatiions, knowing that you as the contractor need to have the best performing and most reliable tool. in performing these types of tests, Dewalt can confidently state that a nano battery will have a 2000 charge cycle life. this would be approximately two and half times longer than our current leading 18v xrp batteries. Nano not only gives you extended life on a battery but it weighs over 1lb lighter than its current 18v xrp. another nice feature about nano is that there is virtually no self discharge if you leave it in the truck overnight. this is a huge relief to any contractor as we never bring our drills in overnight to charge…..right? Having the ability to recharge 2000 times, weight reduction and virtually no discharge is certainly encouraging to the end user, but what Dewlat offers that no one else can is that we have over 40 tools that will use our nano battery. That’s right, all your current tools will fit the new battery! your IHL staff has gone through all the necessary training so they can answer all of your questions right the first time! now with the revitalization of the Dewalt show room the IHL staff will be glad to show you some of the new tools that are featured in this showroom. such tools include the new 60lb breaker, cordless caulking guns and more. ihl has been instrumental in the toronto market, servicing and selling Dewalt for many years. Service is key to any business and ihl has continued to provide excellent service to you the customer. the future is nano, come and experience it today!
