FAQ

What does XLITHIUM POWER mean?

XLITHIUM POWER is the innovative, efficient cordless system from FLEX. Incorporating the latest cell technology, XLITHIUM POWER batteries ensure that all FLEX 12 V and 18 V cordless power tools are supplied with maximum power.

What is the difference between XLITHIUM POWER and XLITHIUM POWER Plus?

The new FLEX 18 V battery with 8.0 Ah incorporates the latest XLITHIUM POWER Plus cell technology and has 21,700 cells. The battery has a lower internal resistance, which enables it to pass on higher currents to the cordless tool than the XLITHIUM POWER batteries. All other FLEX batteries in the 12 V (AP 12/2.5, AP 12/5.0) and 18 V (AP 18/2.5, AP 18/5.0) class have XLITHIUM POWER and thus 18,650 cells.

What is the difference between the 12 V and the 18 V cordless system?

The 12 V and 18 V cordless systems were developed to meet the various needs and requirements of tradesmen. The 12 V power tools are extremely handy, small, compact and perfect for overhead work. Power tools of the 18 V system are designed for powerful applications and impress with extremely high power even in the toughest jobs.

How long can I work with a cordless power tool?

The run time of a power tool with a rechargeable battery greatly depends on the job. A general time estimate can therefore not be given. With the FLEX quick charger, the batteries are ready for use again in no time, which means that with two batteries you can easily complete your work on the construction site without any interruptions. A green LED light on FLEX battery chargers indicates that your battery is ready to use again.

What is the best way to store and charge batteries?

Proper storage is important to a battery’s long service life. A battery should always be removed from a cordless device before being stored. Therefore, always store the battery separate from your cordless tool. When storing batteries, make sure that they are kept in a dry place away from sunlight. If you want to store your battery for an extended period, charge it to a capacity of approx. 60 %. In general, all FLEX batteries are protected against deep discharge.

Lithium-ion batteries do not have the well-known "memory effect" A battery should nevertheless be fully discharged before charging, and the charging process should always be fully completed. Overnight battery charging is possible, but we recommend removing the battery no later than one hour after the charging process is complete. In general, you should make sure that the charger is not permanently connected to the power supply and that it is also disconnected from the power supply after the charging process. Also make sure that the temperatures are between 0 °C and 40 °C during the charging process.
