50 percent more power with the impact strength of a wired device for fast and flexible working (compared to the predecessor GBH 18 V-EC). Increased user protection with KickBack Control (KBC) and better control with Electronic Precision Control (EPC). Drilling without dust with the new integrated and optional dust extraction system GDE 18 V-16. Brushless EC motor: Compact, dust-protected, lightweight and absolutely maintenance-free. Vibration Control: decoupled handle for fatigue-free working. Long battery life: Up to 216 holes in concrete with only one battery charge (6 x 40 mm). LED work light: Optimum view of the workplace. Ergonomic design: Best horizontal force transmission to the borehole. Electronic Cell Protection (ECP): Protects the battery from overloading, overheating and deep discharge. Innovative CoolPack rechargeable batteries: Ensure optimum heat dissipation and thus extend service life by up to 100 percent (see Li-Ion rechargeable batteries without CoolPack). No memory effect: The battery can be charged at any time, regardless of the charge status, without damaging the cells. Fastest charging time: 80 percent of the battery is charged after 35 minutes.
