Apogee launches nanotech power-tool batteries

According to the company, Apogee Power has been working under the radar for the past six years to develop a complete line of impact cordless power tools and battery packs that incorporate its Nano-Tech Ultra-Pulse Capacitor technology, which enhances the power and performance of lithium batteries.
