# Advanced Battery Lines CRAFTSMAN Calls Attention to Its V20 ADVANCED Battery Line By Kalin Ned | Published 2026-06-11 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-line References: [press.craftsman](https://press.craftsman.com/2026-05-21-CRAFTSMAN-R-Launches-New-V20-ADVANCED-TM-Batteries-to-Help-DIYers-Power-Through-More-Demanding-Jobs#assets_all)  [CRAFTSMAN](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/build-hub) has introduced the V20 ADVANCED battery line. This range is available in three amp hour and six amp hour capacities. The V20 ADVANCED battery line utilizes [tabless cell technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/battery-cell) to deliver increased power and extended runtime compared to standard batteries while maintaining compatibility with the brand's existing ecosystem of over 100 V20 power tools and outdoor equipment. The larger six-amp-hour model provides up to three times more power and three times longer runtime than a conventional two-amp-hour battery, while the smaller three-amp-hour version offers 96% more power and up to 50% longer runtime, with both batteries engineered to operate at cooler temperatures during intensive use. To encourage adoption, CRAFTSMAN is hosting in-store trade-in events at participating [Lowe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-plus-lawn-mower) and Ace Hardware locations where consumers can exchange a qualifying rechargeable power tool battery from any brand and receive a free V20 ADVANCED three-amp-hour battery with charger starter kit.
