Power Tools - DEWALT RECEIVES ENERGY STAR RATING ON BATTERY CHARGER SYSTEM


October 2009 – DEWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools, is proud to announce that its DC9310 battery charger system and all battery packs that are compatible with it, including all DEWALT 7.2V to 18V Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) and Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) batteries, have received the nationally recognized ENERGY STAR rating.

ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy that helps Americans save money and protect the environment through energy efficient products and practices. With the ENERGY STAR certification on the DC9310 battery charging system, professional end users can expect the DC9310 to use less energy than comparable non-qualified systems when left plugged in after a battery has been charged and after a battery has been removed.

By meeting strict ENERGY STAR standards, DEWALT is making it possible for tradesmen to experience the best-in-class performance they have come to expect from DEWALT with a battery charging system that is energy efficient.

“DEWALT is committed to meeting end users’ needs by developing innovative products that are tough enough to withstand jobsite demands” said Frank Mannarino, VP of Cordless Product Development for DEWALT. “Likewise, DEWALT takes the extra steps needed to ensure that users can feel good about using battery charger systems that use less energy than their counterparts.”

With more than 59 million batteries in the field, DEWALT understands the role they have in providing professional end users with the tools they need to complete their jobs using cordless battery technology that is powerful yet responsible. DEWALT is committed to providing high performing power tools that create efficient jobsite solutions, saving contractors time and energy used.
