Festool has proven itself as a leader in cordless drill battery technology. Their NiCd and NiMH batteries have been heralded for offering superior run time and a service life -- much longer than other batteries. Now, in order to make it make it more affordable for customers to get into the Festool cordless system, Festool had drastically lowered the price of their batteries.
This is also reflected by the unparalleled warranty that will be standard with the Festool T+3 Lithium Ion cordless drills, which are scheduled to debut later this year. These drills will come with a 3-year warranty on the drill, charger and batteries!
So, if you've been considering picking up an extra battery for your Festool C12 or TDK cordless drill, there's no better time! Here is the new Festool Battery pricing:
