Power Tool System
First Claim
1. A power tool system comprising:
- a first power tool having a first power tool rated voltage and a first battery pack interface;
a second power tool having a second power tool rated voltage that is different from than the first power tool rated voltage and a second battery pack interface; and
a convertible battery pack having a power tool interface that is coupleable to both the first battery pack interface and the second battery pack interface,wherein when the power tool interface is coupled to the first battery pack interface, the convertible battery pack is configured in a first configuration in which the convertible battery pack has a first battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the first power tool rated voltage, andwherein upon coupling the power tool interface to the second battery pack interface, the convertible battery pack is configured into a second configuration in which the convertible battery pack has a second battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the second power tool rated voltage.

Abstract
A power tool system includes a first power tool having a first power tool rated voltage, a second power tool having a second power tool rated voltage that is different from the first power tool rated voltage, and a first battery pack coupleable to the first power tool and to the second power tool. The first battery pack is switchable between a first configuration having a first battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the first power tool rated voltage such that the first battery pack enables operation of the first power tool, and a second configuration having a convertible battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the second power tool rated voltage such that the battery pack enables operation of the second power tool.

11. A power tool system, comprising:
-
a first power tool having a first power tool rated voltage and a first set of mating power terminals coupled to a first tool load to provide power to the first tool load; a second power tool having a second power tool rated voltage that is different than the first rated voltage and a second set of mating power terminals coupled to a second tool load to provide power to the second tool load; a battery pack having a third set of mating power terminals coupled to a plurality of battery cells and configured to mate with the first set of mating power terminals of the first power tool and the second set of mating power terminals of the second power tool, wherein when the third set of mating power terminals is mated with the first set of mating power terminals, the battery pack is operable at a first battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the first power tool rated voltage, and when the third set of mating power terminals is mated with the second set of mating power terminals, the battery pack is operable at a second battery pack rated voltage that corresponds to the second power tool rated voltage. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
