CAT® leading technology using Graphene™ batteries in their cordless power tools.

A powerpack that is claimed to be the most advanced, unbeatable battery worldwide. Offering no down time. lasts 4 times longer, shortest charging time 18 minutes, no run time or charging temperature rises. Average Graphene™ charger cycle is 1200 versus Li-Ion at 300 cycles.

There has been no innovative technology breakthrough on batteries for the last 15 years until CAT® came onboard with their new Graphene™ units.

First was Nickel Cadmium (NiCAD) followed by Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) now its Graphene™ first introduced by CAT®, Positec the owners and manufactures of CAT® Power Tools has partnered with a leading manufacturer to bring the Optimum high performance, and reliable solution to the market

Graphene™ versus Lithium-ion batteries - Graphene™ offers higher electrical conductivity versus lithium-ion batteries. Allowing for faster charging cells that deliver extremely high currents. High Heat Conductance batteries run cooler with an extended lifespan. Graphene™ is extracted from graphite, itself derived from carbon.

The main advantage of Graphene™ is that it is faster to recharge than lithium-ion. Graphene™ is also more resistant and less subject to wear. In fact, its lifespan is longer and therefore require fewer battery changes. Average Graphene™ charger cycle is 1200 versus Li-Ion at 300 cycles. Finally, Graphene™-based batteries are safer than lithium-ion batteries, which in extreme cases have already ignited and even exploded.

The battery design ensures high performance. Specialized protection provides increased security against Vibration, Impacts, Water entrance and Thermal Runaway. Ecore IQ is the brain of the CAT® 18v battery pack, protecting against, Max Discharge Current, Max Charging Current. All the while monitoring the individual cells for Voltage reporting (under & over), temperature and full pack state of charge. State of the art, Health Nylon Plastic & Aluminum material, encapsulates every cell to draw heat away, allowing cells to stay cooler, thereby increasing efficiency and run time. GRAPHENE™ BATTERY TECHNOLOGY provides significant more power, less down time and the jobsite can now become cordless with no reduction in performance. The new batteries have 1 year warranty. Graphene is featured on the DX13 80N.m Brushless Hammer Drill with 5Ah Graphene™ Battery & 20min 20amp Super-fast charger.

The traditional lithium-ion battery could soon be replaced in electric cars by a new generation made from Graphene™. This material has many qualities. It will also allow the battery to be recharged much more rapidly than today. The newly announced CAT® cordless power tools were said to feature brushless motors, with claims of 10X longer motor life, 25% more power, and 50% more runtime. The CAT® 18V cordless power tools lineup was shown to be launching with a 2Ah Li-ion battery, 4Ah Li-ion battery, or 5Ah Graphene™ battery.
