New SMART-FORCE Battery Sets New Standards in Rescue Operations
WEBER RESCUE SYSTEMS, in collaboration with MILWAUKEE, has introduced the SMART-FORCE Battery with FORGE technology, setting new benchmarks in rescue operations. Designed for maximum endurance, durability, and flexibility, this innovative battery significantly enhances the performance of SMART-FORCE rescue tools, making the work of fire and rescue services easier, safer, and more efficient.
Up to 40% Longer Service Life
A revolutionary cell design reduces stress on each lithium cell, cutting internal resistance by up to 50% and heat build-up by 45%. This means the SMART-FORCE Battery lasts up to 40% longer, extending its service life to around 10 years instead of the typical 7. Even a full 100% charge is possible anytime without reducing lifespan, ensuring reliability during critical missions.
More Runtime Without Extra Weight
In technical rescue, every minute counts. The 8.0 Ah battery provides up to 30% more runtime, allowing 7–8 additional cuts per charge depending on the tool. Despite the extended performance, it remains compact and even 400 grams lighter than higher-capacity alternatives, reducing fatigue and minimizing unnecessary battery changes.
Built for Harsh Rescue Environments
The SMART-FORCE Battery is engineered to withstand extreme rescue conditions, including heat, cold, rain, and impacts. Key features include:
- Laser-welded cells for maximum vibration resistance
- Polymer coating for water ingress protection
- Oil, grease, and solvent-resistant housing
- Rugged rubber overmold for impact absorption
- Operational reliability down to –20 °C
This ensures consistent performance even in the toughest environments.
One Battery for Maximum Flexibility
Thanks to MILWAUKEE’s M18 platform, the SMART-FORCE Battery powers not only WEBER RESCUE tools but also more than 350 compatible devices worldwide. This flexibility reduces the number of batteries needed, simplifies charging logistics, and ensures supply security through mass production and global availability.
Conclusion
The new SMART-FORCE Battery combines longer service life, higher runtime, and extreme ruggedness with unmatched flexibility. More than just a power source, it’s a trusted partner that empowers firefighters and rescue teams to focus on what matters most: saving lives.
