R12 Lithium Efficiency
If you’re in the market for a new cordless, electric fillet knife, spotlight lantern or portable fishing aerator, the R12 Lithium fishing tool collection has got you covered. Here’s a look at the features and benefits of this growing, performance-driven line of cordless fishing tools.
R12 LITHIUM BATTERY ADVANTAGES
It’s no secret anglers are adopting lithium batteries in record numbers. Whether they’re “Kicking Gas” in favour of a StrikeMaster Lithium 40V Electric Ice Auger or using lithium to power their boat’s trolling motor, lithium offers many benefits and outperforms the competition in many areas. To give a few examples, lithium products provide twice the power, charge more quickly, are lighter and have a significantly longer lifespan than traditional batteries.
Lithium batteries, like the R12, also deliver full power until the bitter end. This means you’ll get peak performance for the duration of the charge when using the R12 Heavy-Duty Lithium Fillet Knife, R12 Spotlight Lantern and R12 Lithium Aerator.
THE R12 LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
The backbone of the R12 collection is a powerful, 2 Ah Lithium-ION battery pack. This advanced, lightweight battery features on-board circuit management, which provides protection from overheating and overloading. Individual cell monitoring also prevents cell damage and maximizes battery life. Charging is fast and easy, too, thanks to the universal R12 Charging Base.
Another perk of the R12 Lithium tool collection is one powerful battery is capable of powering multiple tools. This one-battery approach simplifies things. It also eliminates the hassle and added costs that come with owning various tools and electronics powered by different battery types, each with their unique charging cords. Important to note is the R12 collection is expanding and anglers will soon see more great fishing tools added to the existing lineup, which are detailed below.
