The 005025B battery is designed to power the Accu 5040 product line. It is a more economical and lower capacity alternative to the 005040B battery.

The Accu program offers a complete range of HECHT products powered by the same type of batteries. These batteries are indistinguishable, differing only in capacity, which is the amount of energy they can store. A larger capacity means, of course, longer run time for the battery-powered machine on a single charge.

However, it is not always necessary to purchase a more expensive high-capacity battery if, for example, the battery powers a lower power machine that you intend to use for a limited time. Similarly, it may be wise to buy a second battery with a smaller capacity if you cannot manage with just one battery for the range of tasks you perform. As these batteries are charged in an external charger, there is no problem charging one battery while the other is used to power the machine.

Battery Maintenance

Li-ion batteries require a different method of charging and discharging, which is ensured by the electronic components embedded in the battery. These electronic components can prevent damage to the battery from excessive discharge, overcharging, overheating, or short circuits. The battery is equipped with quality cells.

To ensure a long and reliable lifespan, the battery should never be stored discharged, but storing it fully charged is also not recommended. During off-season storage, it should be charged to around 40 - 50%. Never store a fully discharged battery for long periods. If the voltage of any of the cells drops below 2.8 V, it will be difficult to "revive" the battery again. The battery should be stored in a cool place, as high temperatures are harmful to it, but it also does not tolerate very low temperatures. Never attempt to fast charge the battery; only use the charger provided with the Hecht product. A properly used Hecht Li-Ion battery has a lifespan of about 1000 charging cycles, which can mean several years of reliable use. However, insufficient use can significantly reduce its lifespan.

The battery features a charging status indicator, so you can see the charging status directly and at any time by pressing the button.

What is the ACCU 5040 program and what are its benefits?

There are many advantages to battery-powered machines. The electric motor is silent and does not produce unpleasant or toxic fumes. Compared to an internal combustion engine, there is no need to start the engine, regular maintenance, or changing oils and air filters. An electric motor is more reliable than a fairly complex combustion engine. However, the main disadvantage of a conventional electric machine is the need for a power cord. The cord restricts movement, and with a little carelessness, there is a risk of damage and potential electric shock. All these disadvantages are solved by powering the machine with a lightweight lithium battery. Modern lithium batteries are lightweight, store a large amount of energy, and with proper care have a relatively long lifespan. The ACCU program eliminates this drawback, allowing many different products to be powered by a single battery.
