Thanks to innovative real-time technology, the battery status is visible at a glance: the integrated LCD display shows the remaining time, the remaining charging time and the charging state, depending on the device used. The lithium-ion cells guarantee consistent performance and prevent both self-discharge and memory effect (capacity loss due to frequent partial discharge). Pleasant soft-touch housing elements provide a non-slip stand on smooth and sloping surfaces. The 18 V / 5.0 Ah Li-Ion battery is suitable for use in all devices of the Kärcher 18 V battery platform. In addition, the battery is IPX 5 protected against splashing water.
