Milwaukee Begins Transition from V28 to M28

Words: Katherine O'tooleOver the next several months, Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation will transition all V28â„¢ cordless power tools to the new M28â„¢ LITHIUM-ION battery pack. While providing an improved battery pack with more advanced electronics, the new M28â„¢ LITHIUM-ION system will be completely compatible with current V28â„¢products, as the tools themselves will not change.

“The largest high voltage LITHIUM-ION system on the market just got better,” says Christian Coulis, Sr. Product Manager, Cordless for Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. “One of the largest advantages of the transition is that users are able to instantly upgrade the performance, run-time and durability of the V28â„¢ tools they already own, simply by switching to the improved M28â„¢ battery pack.”

Milwaukee Electric Tool pioneered Lithium-Ion with the introduction of the V28™ system in 2005. Demonstrating an unrelenting commitment to continual innovation, Milwaukee® has added Digital Power Management (DPM) to the M28™ LITHIUM-ION battery packs to help ensure optimal battery life and run-time, while protecting the battery and tool during the toughest jobsite applications.

DPM features include a temperature management system to keep batteries at the ideal temperature range and individual cell monitoring to ensure optimal charge and discharge. Combined with a side packed design, integrated weld frame, cell separator and impact/vibration protective rubber, this pack provides maximum life and durability to the user.

With this introduction, Milwaukee Electric Tool will be releasing a new M28â„¢ LITHIUM-ION battery pack, an M28â„¢ Hammer Drill and new lighting solutions that offer unmatched durability, performance and run-time for the professional tradesman. The first new M28â„¢ product will be available in stores summer, 2010.
