I am trying to determine whether there would be any "power" improvement achieved in a cordless electric trimmer product by simply changing the voltage of the battery.
The trimmer originally was sold using a 3.6v battery. It got many bad reviews for being underpowered. Now, the manufacturer is selling what appears to be the same product, but now running on an 18v battery.
The manufacturer does not identify whether the same motor is being used in both versions of this product nor - for the motor in either version - any specs for hp, watts, amps, etc. Only the difference in battery voltage is stated.
I imagine the higher voltage battery could allow the product to run longer, but I don't know how to determine whether just running the same motor at that higher voltage also increases its power output (hp or torque).
I suspect I haven't been able to provide enough technical information to allow a definitive answer, so I would appreciate knowing what additional information I should try to get by contacting the manufacturer directly, and also how I can use the information to compare the relative power of electric motors using different voltages of battery power.
Thanks
