Festool BP 18 Li 3,0 C 18V Compact Battery Pack
At a Glance: An exceptionally light 18V 3.0Ah lithium-ion battery pack designed for comfortable drilling, screwdriving and less energy-intensive assembly work.
The Festool BP 18 Li 3,0 C battery pack is the lightweight specialist of the Festool 18V system. Weighing only approximately 400 grams, it is more than 30% lighter than a Festool TBX 4 battery pack and provides outstanding handling when drilling, screwdriving or completing assembly work in confined spaces and overhead positions. Its compact 3.0Ah lithium-ion design supplies a practical balance of runtime, power and portability for compatible Festool cordless tools performing less energy-intensive tasks. An integrated LED charge-level indicator keeps the remaining capacity visible, while the surrounding soft-touch frame protects the battery, helps prevent damage to finished surfaces and securely supports the fitted tool on sloping surfaces. Combined with the efficient brushless EC-TEC motors used in Festool cordless drills, this compact battery pack delivers the freedom to work comfortably without carrying unnecessary weight.
The BP 18 Li 3,0 C is designed for professionals who value excellent balance, low fatigue and easy handling. It is particularly well suited to installation work, repetitive screwdriving, overhead drilling and tasks in restricted areas where a larger battery can make the tool feel unnecessarily bulky.
