Product Information
Full details
The HiKOKI BSL1850C 18V 5.0Ah battery is designed for professional users seeking a lighter and more compact power source for their existing HiKOKI 18V slide tools. Its key benefit is a significant reduction in size and weight (15% smaller and lighter) without compromising power, making tool handling more comfortable during extended use. A potential caveat is its compatibility, which is limited to 18V slide tools and specific chargers.
