Product Information
Full details
The Metabo Tabless CAS Battery Pack (X2Lihdx) is designed for professionals and demanding DIY enthusiasts who require sustained, high-torque output for heavy-duty power tool applications. Its primary benefit is the innovative tabless cell technology, which delivers significantly increased runtime and power output; however, users should note that these high-capacity packs are heavier than standard compact batteries, which may affect tool balance during prolonged overhead use.

FAQs
Are these batteries compatible with other tool brands?
Yes, they are part of the CAS (Cordless Alliance System) and are compatible with all 18V machines and chargers from over 45 participating power tool brands.
How long does it take to charge these batteries?
Using the Metabo ASC 290 quick charger, the batteries can achieve a full charge in approximately 30 minutes.
What is 'tabless' technology?
Tabless technology removes the traditional 'tabs' in lithium-ion cells, which reduces internal electrical resistance and heat, allowing for more power delivery and longer runtimes.
Does the 3-year warranty cover the battery if it stops holding a charge?
Yes, the 3-year warranty covers the battery pack across all charging cycles, provided it was used under normal operating conditions.
Can I use these with standard Metabo chargers?
Yes, they are backward compatible with other Metabo chargers, though charge times will be longer than if you use the ASC 290.
Troubleshooting
Battery does not fit into the tool or charger
Ensure the guide rails on the battery are clean and free of debris. Verify that the tool or charger is part of the 18V CAS (Cordless Alliance System).
Battery will not charge
Check that the charging terminals on both the battery and the charger are clean. If the battery is hot from heavy use, allow it to cool down for 15-20 minutes before inserting it into the charger.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Significantly higher energy density and runtime
- Rapid 30-minute charging capability
- Broad interoperability with 45+ brands via CAS
- Reduced internal resistance for cooler operation

- Requires the ASC 290 charger to reach 30-minute charge times
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your X2Lihdx packs, simply slide them into your CAS-compatible 18V tool until you hear a click. For the fastest charging, use only the Metabo ASC 290 quick charger. Always store the batteries in a cool, dry environment. Avoid storing them in temperatures exceeding 120°F (50°C), as extreme heat can degrade the chemical composition of any lithium-ion cell. If you are not planning to use the batteries for an extended period, try to store them at approximately 40-60% charge capacity to maintain optimal cell health.
