Milwaukee Electric Tool Corp. received a patent for its cutting-edge, LITHIUM-ION battery technology for cordless power tools.

The company’s patented LITHIUM-ION technology represents the new generation of cordless, hand-held power tools powered by battery packs capable of producing an average discharge current greater than or equal to about 20 amps. This patent protects the Milwaukee brand’s newly introduced M12 and M18 LITHIUM-ION product lines as well as the industry’s first V28 and V18 LITHIUM-ION product lines.

More efficient and environmentally friendly, the Milwaukee LITHIUM-ION technology is the result of many years of development by the company’s engineers around the globe, representing a multi-million-dollar investment by Milwaukee.
