Graphene is a crystalline form of carbon, graphite really, that’s sort of like a flat honeycomb. It’s a nanomaterial with real-world applications due to the number of double bonds in the “sheet”. Good conductivity being one of them.
Now how much graphene is inside the electrodes of that battery? Dunno. One hopes it’s more than, say, some of fhe “Kevlar” applications in years past that had enough to use the name but with no practical effect. I’d need to be convinced in this case…

I hadn't thought of graphene or carbon nanotubes in years!
I'm not surprised they'd be used as advertising. There use to be tons of articles and news stories about them.
Heres a New Yorker story about the guy. The same guy that had the levitating frogs a few years before.

Another miracle material that will change the world and give us supercomputers, levitating cars, and free energy. Lots of great clickbait. Details are still being worked out.

Those CAT tools look nice. Hopefully they work good for you!

I currently have no plans to jump from the M12 platform, especially to a startup line. Regardless if they have a big backer.Those CAT tools look nice. Hopefully they work good for you!
I was more curious about the “Technology “, and if it’s actually a step forward, or as mike93lx said- just marketing.
Thanks to all who posted

It's not like that field has any lack of hype or ********. Another impressive sounding magic word like ceramic.Used in a lot of car paint protection products for detailers.
Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms- basically a sheet of graphite one atom thick. It has real world applications, we use it at work in scientific research applications. Due to its cost, I cannot imagine that there is anywhere remotely near enough of it in a consumer product, like a tool battery, to actually make a significant improvement in functionality.
So, like said above, I'm guessing it's a marketing term. Like "titanium" scissors, and titanium, ceramic, billet, tactical... everything else

At least it exists. Have you ever tried to buy tepid water at the supermarket?
