Advantages of cordless polishers

There are several advantages of cordless polishers. Nowadays, all battery-powered polishers are equipped with a Li-Ion battery comparable to the performance of power tools. This means you don't have to compromise on power and efficiency. In addition, the balance of the machine is taken into account during its development. Because the battery is snapped into the polisher, proper balance of the device is essential. Do you want to polish for a long time at a time? Then the additional advantage is that you can order extra batteries for the polisher. That way you'll never run out!

Which battery polisher to buy?

Would you like to buy a cordless polisher but don't know which one is best for you? Then we as specialists will be happy to help you! There are a number of points to consider when choosing a good cordless polisher. When making your choice, pay attention to the power of the motor and the battery voltage so that you have enough power while polishing. Usually, cordless polishers are 18V or 12V. The quality of materials also plays an important role. A robust housing, vibration dampening and high quality parts prolong the life of a machine. Finally, look at the ergonomics of the machine itself. The design ensures a comfortable grip, low weight and good balance. At CROP, you can buy the best cordless polishers from brands such as RUPES, FLEX, ShineMate, Liquid Elements and MIRKA.

How long does a battery last while polishing?

The lifetime of a battery in a polisher depends on a number of factors: the type of machine, the battery capacity (expressed in Ah) and the speed at which you work. In general, you can polish continuously for an average of 30 to 60 minutes with a full 18V Li-ion battery. If you use the machine at a lower speed, the battery often lasts even longer. With intensive use at higher speeds or with heavy paint corrections, battery life decreases somewhat. That's why it's smart to always have an extra battery. That way you can easily change and continue working without waiting time.

Cordless polishers vs. mains-powered machines

A common question is: How do cordless polishers compare to their corded counterparts? Both have their own advantages. An electric-powered polisher provides constant power, making it suitable for extended use without interruption. But on the other hand, you are always tied to a power outlet and working with any extension cords. cordless polishers, on the other hand, offer complete freedom and are easier to use, especially for mobile jobs. Thanks to the latest battery technology, they are not inferior to powered models in terms of power. Do you work a lot on location or in places without a power supply? Then a cordless polisher is a logical choice. Do you mainly work in one place and for long periods on large vehicles? Then a mains-powered model can also be interesting.

Maintenance of your cordless polisher

Proper maintenance extends the life of your cordless polisher and ensures safe operation. Clean the machine with a dry cloth after each use and remove dust and polish residue. Check regularly that the vents are clear so that the motor does not overheat. Always store your polisher in a dry environment and charge the batteries before storing them for long periods of time, this prevents deep discharge. Preferably use only original chargers and batteries from the brand itself. These simple steps will keep your cordless machine in top condition and you will always be ready for the next polishing job.
