Battery power as you’ve never seen it

The early arrivals of rechargeable battery powered mowers, blowers, trimmers, and chainsaws were seen by many as less powerful, more expensive versions of lightweight corded electric equipment.

But battery tech rapidly improved to compete with petrol power, so that today’s lithium-ion rechargeable battery powered equipment really is an effective, cleaner, quieter alternative to petrol. Bypassing the ongoing costs of petrol as well as the ongoing engine maintenance equalises the initial price difference in as little as a single season.

For decades, petrol-powered gardening and landscape equipment has been a reliable choice. This is coupled with the fact that innovation in battery technology has remained slow in meeting the dynamic and ever-growing demands of professional turf managers.

Professionals have tended to veer away from battery-powered equipment due to excessive charging time before use, the high expense associated with the limited lifecycle, and unreliable performance quality.

Despite growing concerns that the air and noise pollution associated with petrolpowered equipment is having a severe impact on the environment, professionals have been forced to pick an option that provides economical advantage in terms of power and uninterrupted operation.

Tackling the current limitations of battery head-on, with a groundbreaking opportunity, Kress is taking the transformation from petrol to battery to the next level, creating a stronger, faster, quieter, more affordable option, that is specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of commercial landscapers and is set to drive battery-power technology forward to a brighter, more efficient future.

The new commercial Kress 8-minute Cybersystem battery platform has been engineered to have the fastest re-charge of any commercial battery system available, has twice the power output of standard lithium-ion batteries and has been developed with heavyduty use in mind. It is battery-power as we have never seen it before.

With a petrol-free future on the horizon, and recent soaring prices in the UK, the latest evolution in Kress’ battery-powered technology is a remarkable, timely development.

“Everyone is waiting for a change in professional gardening and landscaping equipment, petrol will soon have to be replaced and, for that reason, Kress has come up with a powerful solution,” says Don Gao, Chairman and CEO of Positec Group.

“It’s time for an energy system evolution.”

As a part of the well-stablished Positec family of brands, Kress is recognised for its superior German engineering that has been synonymous with reliability, quality, and industry leading standards for over 50 years.

This new line of Kress commercial-grade outdoor power equipment, powered by its exclusive cordless battery technology, is a revolutionary development and highlights the commitment towards a future that will forever eliminate the need for petrol-powered equipment.
