Karcher PCL 3-18 - Battery-powered surface cleaner - WITHOUT BATTERY AND CHARGER

The battery-powered surface cleaner Karcher PCL 3-18 offers an effective solution for cleaning terraces, balconies, and outdoor flooring. Thanks to the 18V battery operation, it allows maximum freedom of movement, without cable constraints. The power supply is via an interchangeable lithium-ion battery (not included), compatible with all devices of the Kärcher Battery Power 18V platform.

The device is equipped with two rotating roller brushes, specifically designed for wooden and WPC surfaces. The bristles effectively penetrate the grooves of the boards, removing dirt, moss, and debris. The working width allows for the simultaneous cleaning of two planks, ensuring a uniform result.

The integrated water distribution system ensures that dirt is immediately washed away during brushing. The ergonomic valve allows for the adjustment of the water flow, adapting the washing to the degree of dirt present on the surface.

The compact design makes the device easy to handle. The structure with a two-part separable handle and ergonomic grip facilitates prolonged use without fatigue. The brushes are easily replaceable without the use of tools and allow use even on smooth stone surfaces.

The LCD battery display, which shows in real-time the remaining autonomy, charging time, and battery capacity. This feature allows for efficient management of cleaning sessions.

Distinctive features of the Karcher PCL 3-18:

• Dual rotating brush: effectively cleans two boards simultaneously, removing dirt and moss.

• Integrated water distribution: combines brushing and washing in a single step.

• Ergonomic adjustment valve: allows dosing of water as needed.

• 18V battery system: ensures autonomy and compatibility with other Kärcher devices.

• Ergonomic and lightweight design: facilitates continuous use even on large surfaces.

BATTERY AND CHARGER NOT INCLUDED

The LCD on the battery shows all necessary info: autonomy, charging times, battery capacity.

The 18V lithium-ion battery can be recharged at any time (like modern smartphone batteries, it has no memory effect) to always have it ready for use. It lasts on average 30 times longer than a normal battery. The battery is equipped with a convenient charge indicator and an activation button to prevent unwanted tool starts.

Advantages of the battery-powered electric motor

• More reliable than a combustion engine, thanks to its electric motor. It has no spark plug, filters, fuel pumps, carburetors, etc., which are components subject to problems
• Much lighter
• Zero maintenance, for the same reasons mentioned above
• Lower consumption and drastically reduced operating costs compared to combustion models (with just a few cents of electricity you can perform the cut). Moreover, you don't always have to procure fuel (which should always be fresh).
• Zero vibrations, again thanks to the electric motor. Instead, almost all combustion systems, which are not equipped with a steel spring anti-vibration system, have a very high degree of vibrations, making the work really uncomfortable
• Zero fumes, zero harm to the environment and especially to the health of the user
• Much quieter and therefore more pleasant to use compared to combustion engines

LONGER DURATION: up to 3 times longer than traditional nickel-cadmium batteries, reducing the need to recharge during long periods of use.
Ideal for medium-large gardens.

FULL CHARGE FOR THE ENTIRE BATTERY LIFE: the charge of lithium-ion batteries does not fade. Unlike nickel-cadmium batteries, whose power gradually decreases, lithium battery cells maintain constant power throughout the entire cycle. You get practically the same charge from start to finish, without reducing the motor's rpm. The battery operates at full
power until it is completely depleted.

LONG CHARGE DURATION: Lithium batteries boast a number of recharges 3-4 times greater than traditional nickel-cadmium batteries, and at the same time longer storage times with
lower charge loss. With lithium batteries, you can do up to 2,000 charge cycles!

LIGHTER WEIGHT: Lithium batteries offer the best power-to-weight ratio. On average, they weigh 1/3 of nickel-cadmium batteries.

ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY: Lithium battery tools are recyclable and are produced without heavy metals.

NO MEMORY EFFECT: Lithium batteries can be recharged at any time without negative memory effect, they can indeed offer maximum power even after hundreds of charge cycles.
A few minutes of charging are enough to provide the power needed to complete the job.

LOW DISCHARGE RATE: Low charge loss rate (up to 5 times lower than nickel-cadmium batteries) so your tool will be ready for use even after months of inactivity.

CHARGER: lithium battery chargers allow reducing energy consumption by an average of 35%.
