Why do Panasonic batteries work longer?
Panasonic batteries last longer because they store MORE POWER! Electrical power is measured in watts. Watt hours is the rate per hour at which electric energy is produced. The amount of run time (watt hours) a cordless power tool produces is found by multiplying the capacity of the battery (amps) times its power rating (voltage). The higher the watt hours, the longer the run time. You do the math: Example: Panasonic EY6409GQKW is a 12 Volt Drill/Driver with a 3.5 Amp Ni-MH battery: 12 Volts x 3.5 Amps = 42 Watt Hours Compared to: Panasonic EY6405FQKW is a 12 Volt Drill/Driver with a 2.0 Amp Ni-Cd battery: 12 Volts x 2.0 Amps = 24 Watt Hours Advanced Charging Technology Panasonic Ni-MH batteries have a short, 65-minute charging period. This system was created by Panasonic as a result of our vast experience developing inverter charger technology. With this new charging system, Panasonic has achieved two goals: • Minimized charging time for the Ni-MH 3.5 Ah high capacity battery pack • Ma
