What applications are best suited for the high power technology?
Like other Li-ion cells, the high power cells have operating voltages roughly three times that of the Ni chemistries. The manganese operating voltage is about 3.6V, and the phosphate is about 3.3V. Hence, any application that would benefit from the current capability of NiCd and the voltage of Li-ion is a good target. Anything hand-held and motorized is a likely candidate, and the performance improvement in the new power tools is a great proof point.
