But according to Johan Kruger, National Sales Manager for Husqvarna South Africa, nothing could be further from the truth. \u201cBattery power is transforming the way people work and tools that employs this technology such as chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers and power blowers are fast becoming the equipment of choice not only for homeowners but groundsmen, forestry workers, farmers and landscapers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s the same with any new technology,\u201d says Johan, \u201cfirst we baulk at it, then we\u2019re weary of it, finally \u2013 we wonder how we ever lived without it! The reality is that the convenience and cost efficiencies of battery-powered equipment have transcended the gardeners\u2019 electrical products into the everyday working life of professionals using outdoor power tools, and early adopters are already reaping the benefits and singing its praises.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johan explains that without the correct battery care however, the cost efficiencies users have come to enjoy will be lost, making it essential that special care is employed in order to ensure a battery\u2019s longevity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>He offers the following tips to maximise your power tools\u2019 battery life:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Avoid keeping your batteries charging for long periods. Remove the batteries from the charger soon after reaching 100% as they will hold their charge.<\/li>\n<li>Use a battery bag or battery box to keep your batteries safe when storing or transporting them.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid leaving batteries in tools when storing them away during the winter months or when you\u2019re not planning to use them for several weeks.<\/li>\n<li>For maximum service life, you should store your batteries at 50% charged. If the level is lower, charge it to 50% before storage (the battery status for Husqvarna batteries can be checked by pressing the button on the rear of the battery).<\/li>\n<li>Batteries should be stored at temperatures of 5-25\u00b0C. and with most of South Africa experiencing a heat wave at the moment, it is more important than ever to ensure that your batteries are stored in a cool area.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a new era for tools, and lithium battery technology has evolved significantly in recent years, making it an excellent option for both novice and veteran users. It delivers incredible power and performance with zero direct emissions and quiet operation and taking special care of your lithium battery will not only guarantee peak performance but will also prolong the life of both battery and power tool,\u201d Johan concludes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">97<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/charge-up-to-keep-charges-down\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
