According to the type of power supply, networked and battery models are distinguished. The second type is more mobile, since it can also be used for field work. The average battery will provide you with several hours of work. If you need to perform large amounts of work, then you can purchase a more capacious or additional battery, or periodically recharge it from the network, if possible.

In general, the choice depends on the type of work performed and the time of continuous operation and the ability to charge from the outlet. Although, if the cordless screwdriver has a USB input, then you can additionally take a power bank (energy storage) with you. Its charge is enough to fully charge the tool 2-3 times. It all depends on both the capacity of the battery and the capacity of the energy storage device.

In addition, most Hammer models have a quick charge function that allows you to fully charge the battery within 20 minutes.

The most important technical parameters:

• Torque. This indicator is very important for professionals. If you want a good tool, then it must have high torque, which ensures high-quality drilling in dense materials.Because Hammer produces high-quality tools with a wide range of features.
• Rotation frequency. The diameter of the hole to be drilled depends on the speed of rotation. During operation, it is recommended to use low speeds so as not to overheat the engine of the device. The manufacturer says that it is better to take a screwdriver with two speed modes.
• Cartridge type. Allocate keyless and key cartridges. Most modern screwdrivers are equipped with a quick-clamp type. They allow more work to be done in the same amount of time than with a key chuck.
• Equipment weight. Many companies offer powerful equipment that is very difficult to handle during work, and also problematic to transport. But Hammer has developed a new technical solution, where powerful characteristics are combined with light weight, which allows you to work for a long time without overloading.

Recommendations for charging and using rechargeable devices

The charger comes with the battery. The developers indicate that before the first start of the cordless drill, the battery itself must be fully charged, as the manufacturer supplies it in a discharged state. Before charging, the user should examine the complete charge cycle. On average, Hammer batteries take three to five hours to charge.

The tool has a special accurate indicator that fully controls the charging process. If the battery is fully charged, the indicator lights up green, and if the charge is low, then red. If the red indicator starts flashing, this indicates a malfunction of the device, or incorrect installation of the battery. If the sensor does not light up after a discharged battery is placed in the device, then it must be cooled to room temperature, and then reinstalled.

The optimum air temperature for safe charging of the device ranges from -10 to +40 degrees. If you stick to this range, you will be able to avoid possible overheating of the device, or its overcharging.Also, the room should be well ventilated so that the device does not oxidize from moisture.

Exploitation:

• to avoid rapid wear, do not recharge the device;
• do not allow deep charge power (that is, do not wait until the battery is completely discharged);
• go through a full discharge and charge cycle 5 times to calibrate the battery for maximum power.

If the battery is out of order or has simply exhausted its capabilities, then a new one should be bought only in specialized stores. Try to buy a new battery in the store where you bought the screwdriver itself. The capacity should be the same as last time. The battery costs, on average, like half a new tool.
