I bought one of the newest tools that has bluetooth Tool Connect capability. The tool has a coin cell in it that supplies power while disconnected from the battery. The manual says the battery is not user replaceable and can only be replaced at a service center.
What happens in a few years when this battery goes bad? Will the drill stop working completely? Just tool connect?
I buy tools expecting them to last 30 or more years (yes really). I'm worried about the long term effect of having this hidden battery.
Is the coin cell in new tool connect tools a potential problem?
