Grinders with slide-type battery

Slider

— such a "seat" is a pair of guides (the so-called sled) on the body of the grinder.

Installed on such guides, the battery is completely located outside the case. Batteries for a slider are structurally simpler than for the clip described below, in addition, this type of mount is generally more reliable and capable of carrying a very significant weight. As a result, the batteries themselves can be made large, heavy, and therefore capacious. As a result, sliders are used in most medium and high power grinders. The disadvantages of this option include perhaps the inevitable increase in the dimensions of the tool when installing the battery, but this moment is most often not fundamental.
