One Battery for Everything: Save Thousands with a Battery System

19. 12. 2025

The era of cables is slowly coming to an end. Freedom of movement without hunting for extension cords is addictive, but there’s a catch. Modern lithium batteries are technological wonders that come with a price. Often, the cost of the battery itself exceeds the price of the tool. Does it make sense to buy a new battery and charger for every saw, grinder, or lawnmower? Definitely not. The solution is the 1278 battery program.

Why pay for what you already have at home?

Lithium-ion cells are the heart of every cordless tool. Their production is expensive because they contain rare metals and complex electronics that monitor safe charging and discharging. When you buy ten different tools from different manufacturers, you pay ten times for a battery and ten times for a charger. The result? An empty wallet and a workshop full of incompatible adapters.

The 1278 Battery Program takes a smart approach. The idea is simple: One type of battery for everything. You pay for it once, and then you only buy the individual machines for a fraction of the price.

How to start smart: The "Starter Kit" tactic

If you're just starting with cordless tools or want to switch to a unified system, the best first step is the HECHT 1278 cordless drill. It’s not just an ordinary drill. The package includes a practical carrying case, a charger, and most importantly, two batteries right away.

This gives you an energy base for your entire workshop and garden. While you work with one battery, the second one is charging. You never have to interrupt your work. And the best part? Once you have this foundation, the door opens to a huge range of other tools that you can buy without batteries – and thus save thousands of crowns.

From the workshop to the garden: What can you "feed" with one battery?

The strength of the 1278 program lies in its incredible range. Simply click the battery out of the drill and insert it into another machine. Within a second, you're ready to cut, grind, light up, or mow the grass.

Equipment for DIYers and the workshop

Need to cut or grind something? The same battery powers:

• Angle grinder (flex) for grinding metal.
• Jigsaw for precise cutouts.
• Reciprocating saw for rougher cuts of pipes or wood.
• Circular saw for long straight cuts.
• Impact wrench for loosening car wheels.
• Rotary hammer for panels or masonry.
• Staple gun for upholstery.
• Mixer for construction adhesives or paints.

In the garage, you’ll appreciate the compressor, a powerful LED flashlight, or a large LED floodlight.

Garden helpers

The same battery that helped you in the workshop in the morning will take care of the garden in the afternoon. The 1278 program includes:

• Grass trimmer and brush cutter for finishing details around the fence.
• Hedge trimmer for shaping hedges.
• Chainsaw for pruning branches.
• Cordless garden shears for easy cutting without blisters.
• Sprayer for treating trees.
• And even a lawnmower for smaller areas!

Conclusion: Math that pays off

Why keep buying expensive batteries over and over? Unify your equipment. With the 1278 program, you save not only money but also space in your workshop and the environment. Start smart with the HECHT 1278 drill and then just watch your tool collection grow without your wallet bleeding.
