Power Tool Batteries for Portable or Emergency Operations (QST)
In his Power Tool Batteries for Portable or Emergency Operations article (a free preview from the July 2024 issue of QST Magazine), Gordon S.

This is a very timely and topical discussion in light of RRRA’s July Portable Operations July Activity.
