PHONE CHARGER PHC 18

-

The battery life of some smartphone­s just isn’t up to snuff. If you’re someone who is always on the move, and you also need to stay in contact with the outside world, Festool’s PHC 18 is the way to go.

This slick phone charger serves as an adapter, transformi­ng every 18 V Festool battery pack into a reliable and heavy-duty power bank (with the exception of the 3.1 Ah Ergo battery packs). You also don’t need a cable to use it, assuming your phone is compatible with inductive charging. Simply attach the Festool charger to the battery pack, then lie your phone on the inductive charging panel. Of course, should you need them, there are USB-A and -C ports, and you can use all three simultaneo­usly, charging three devices at once.

When combined with a fully charged 5.2 Ah Festool battery pack, you’ll be able to charge a 3 000 mAh smartphone battery up to eight times.

This is a robust charging device with a tough rubberised finish, that’s perfectly suited to hardworkin­g environmen­ts, such as the worksite or warehouse.
