Minimise power equipment maintenance with battery tools
For professionals, daily engine maintenance is one of those time-consuming things that has the potential to disrupt your labour. With battery-powered products, that hassle is greatly reduced.
- Reduced power equipment maintenance: “Battery products need much less maintenance and service”, says David Holmstedt, Global Product Specialist at Husqvarna. “The fact that there are fewer moving parts, when compared to a combustion engine, reduces the risks of mechanical failure.”
- Reliable performance: "The battery machines’ brushless motor is, in fact, durable and reliable enough for it to be labelled as 'virtually maintenance-free'," adds Holmstedt. The operational reliability is therefore greatly improved, and the risk of unexpected downtime is reduced.
- Reduced daily maintenance: “Apart from the electric motor, there are usually no more than three or four components that can malfunction”, says Johan Svennung, Global Product Specialist at Husqvarna. “This means that you can work uninterrupted for longer periods of time, feeling secure in the knowledge that the machine will keep running, without issues.”
Are battery power tools truly maintenance-free?
While they're not entirely maintenance-free, using Husqvarna BLi-X 36V battery system products eliminates the need for daily maintenance such as cleaning the cooling fins of the cylinder, and the filters or spark plugs. However, they still require some care.
“Operators of battery machines do well in submitting their machines for a yearly service, such as the one offered through our Services by Husqvarna offer," recommends Hugo van Bijsterveldt, Business Segment Director at Husqvarna. “This will help keep them in prime condition, running on the latest software, and – if needed – exchange worn-out components to make sure they deliver optimally when it comes to performance.”
