Hilti Nuron Flash Battery – First Look

Hilti has shared their special influencer media kit with us, and one of the new batteries caught my attention. Shown here is the brand new Hilti Nuron FLASH battery.

The new Hilti Flash Charging battery is described as being the “ultimate class battery.”

Hilti B22-260 features include:

• Hilti‘s fastest charging and highest-performance battery, optimized for high-intensity work
• Flash charging – charge one B 22-260 battery to 80% in as little as 20 minutes
• IPX4 rated

Hilti also announced new flash chargers. Does that mean this battery can only recharge on the flash chargers, or will it charge on existing chargers at a slower rate?

What kind of battery technology are they using here – Li-ion pouch cells?

Most professional cordless power tool brands – mainly Hilti competitors that beat them to market by a couple of years – went with tabless Li-ion cells for their highest performance batteries so as to avoid the overheating risk that is associated with running pouch cells at a high duty cycle. Has Hilti come out with a better way to cool their batteries, or is this battery more of a high performance sprinter that won’t endure continuous use.

Charge capacity?

Do you get the same duty cycle as other Hilti Nuron batteries? Longevity?

They didn’t say.

I find it interesting that Hilti says this is their highest-performing battery. What about the new higher powered B 22-290 that they also recently launched? See Hilti Finally Launched Higher Powered Nuron Batteries. What can customers expect when comparing the two premium batteries?

This was all the information that Hilti provided us with. If you have any questions, maybe Hilti’s influencer partners, who attended an exclusive event and have reviews up on social media, can help.
