Key Properties
- Voltage: 18 V DC nominal.- Type: Compact Lithium-Ion battery pack.- Capacity: 1.5 Ah (amp-hour).- Recharge Time: Approximately 30 minutes (with compatible rapid charger like Albion 982-21).- Indicators: Onboard fuel-gauge LEDs for remaining runtime.- Protection: Features individual cell monitoring and temperature management.- Weight: Provides equivalent run time with 40% less weight than an 18V NiCad battery.
Surface Compatibility
This battery powers cordless dispensers that apply materials to a wide range of surfaces, enabling work on:- Standard building materials such as concrete, masonry, wood, and drywall.- Glass, particularly for structural glazing applications.- Various metal surfaces.- Different types of plastics.- Log home surfaces for chinking and sealing.- Any substrate requiring precise application of sealants, adhesives, or gap-filling compounds.
Known backups / known substitutes
- Other Albion 18V Lithium-Ion battery packs, though the 982-2 is standard on new Albion cordless guns.- Albion also offers 12V Lithium-Ion battery packs for their cordless dispensers, which are lighter but may provide less power or runtime for heavy-duty tasks.- Manual or pneumatic dispensing guns, which serve as alternatives that do not require battery power.
Comparison Note
The Albion 982-2 18V Lithium-Ion battery offers significant performance advantages over older NiCad batteries, including 40% less weight, 40% longer fade-free run time, 50% faster recharge, and a wider operating temperature range down to 0°F. When compared to Albion's 12V battery system, the 18V battery provides greater power (up to 950 lbf vs. 400 lbf) and extended run time, making it more suitable for dispensing high-viscosity materials and handling larger volumes in professional and demanding applications.
