Sub-C cells are the standard for NiCd and NiMH power tool battery packs. As voltages grow, so does pack size.
At some point, the pack size curve will reach a point where the tool will be too heavy for all but the most macho professional construction / repair / assembly worker to hoist.
Is LIon the next-highest-density rechargeable cell on the horizon for such applications? Are there others that hold promise but have yet to hit the market?
Thanks,
