What happens here

The video then introduces the MX Fuel RedLithium Forge HD12.0 battery, designed for the MX Fuel platform. This battery boasts twice the capacity of its prior generation (a 6.0Ah battery) in a similar physical size. A significant innovation demonstrated is the 'Cool-Cycle' active cooling system. This system incorporates high-speed air cooling with numerous vents built into the battery pack and is integrated with the SuperCharger. Upon placing a hot battery on the charger, the 'Cool-Cycle' immediately begins rapid cooling and charging simultaneously, ensuring the battery comes off the charger cool and ready for immediate use, preventing downtime due to overheating.

Goal: Understand the MX Fuel Forge HD12.0 battery's capacity and the active cooling system.

charge it crazy fast yeah walk me through what are we looking at yeah absolutely so this is a big upgrade for MX fuel this is the red lithium Forge 120 battery pack and when you compare it to our prior generation battery it's pretty close to the same size but twice the capacity so that was a six amp hour battery we're delivering 2x the run time now and pretty close to the same size package now in addition to that one of the things that we really had to tackle uh was you know the heavy use in which these batteries used day in and day out with equipment right so on something like a cutoff saw for example and you're doing continuous cutting of concrete at full depth of charge back to back it's a very demanding application and even with a battery like this that can run cool batteries are going to inherently want to kind of warm up right especially if you're working in direct sunlight so one of the things that we did is we actually uh developed what we call a cool cycle so it's high speed air cooling so you can see all the vents here and then it's built into the charger so this is the supercharger paired up with the forge 12-0 battery and what I'm going to do is show you a demo of how much air is flowing through this thing so let me hit this button build this up that's how much air is flowing through the battery to cool it down yep 100 so what this does is as soon as you put the battery on the charger it begins to rapidly cool it starts charging immediately it charges this battery in about an hour full and then it comes off cool so think about what that means right you have a hot pack put it on a charger cools it down instantly you take it off it's cool and ready to go back to work again and with the M18 for uh Forge system it'll charge a six amp hour battery to 80 in 15 minutes correct yep the same this is the same so yeah so this similar technology slightly different uh slightly different technology but uh still fast charging so this battery has a lot more capacity than that M18 when you're referencing yep yep um but yeah we're going to be able to charge it in about an hour which is actually really fast for this much to
