In the world of power tools , compatibility, sustainability and cost savings are crucial factors for professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Many major brands such as Makita, DEWALT or Bosch rely on proprietary battery systems that tie the user to a specific brand. This not only leads to higher costs but also to unnecessary waste of resources .
Mellif takes a different approach: our tools are compatible with the most common 18V lithium-ion batteries , so you can continue to use existing batteries and save money at the same time.
Battery systems: Why manufacturer-specific solutions are expensive and harmful to the environment
Many power tool manufacturers have developed their own battery systems that are not compatible with other brands. This has several disadvantages:
🔋 High costs for additional batteries and chargers – A Bosch 18V battery with charger can easily cost over €100 .
🌍 Waste of resources – Many batteries are hardly used and end up in the trash after just a few uses.
🔄 Limited use – Those who use multiple brands often need multiple battery systems, which is inefficient and expensive.
Mellif: An example of smart battery usage
Let's take the example of an electric spray gun .
🔹 Mellif offers a battery-operated spray gun with a brushless motor for only around 60 € .
🔹 Makita does not produce a comparable spray gun itself – users have to rely on third-party suppliers.
🔹 Bosch has a spray gun in the green (DIY) series , but:
- It is equipped with an outdated brush motor .
- The price is over 100 € .
- In addition, you have to buy a Bosch battery and a suitable charger , which significantly increases the overall cost.
The reality is that many DIYers use a spray gun maybe once a year , so why buy extra batteries and chargers when you already have compatible batteries?
The solution: Mellif brings sustainability to the tool world
✅ Universal battery compatibility – Continue using existing Makita, Bosch, DEWALT or Milwaukee batteries.
✅ Lower costs – No expensive additional purchases for brand-specific batteries and chargers.
✅ Sustainable use of resources – less battery waste, longer product life.
✅ Higher efficiency – Brushless motors offer longer runtimes and higher performance.
Conclusion: More freedom, less costs, better environmental balance
By choosing Mellif, you are choosing a flexible, cost-efficient and sustainable system . Instead of investing in overpriced, branded battery systems, you can make the most of your existing batteries – with the same or even better performance .
So why spend unnecessary money and waste resources? Mellif offers the smarter solution! 🌱🔋💰
