Creative Design Prototype: Battery and Power Consumption

As a safety issue we should make sure that the circular blade is cover both during operation so as not to exceed the front part of the secateurs, as well as when the tool is closed to provide a protective cover on the lower front part.

We haven't thought of a place to put the battery. Since we are aiming for a simple tool, i believe that there is no need for the elderly to change batteries all the time.

The tool should have a rechargeable battery that can last multiple tasks. Also there should be a clear and bright color on the place where the charge should be plugged in. A bright color around the hole that the plug will be place will be useful.



I have placed the battery to be on the uppen handle. The battery should be as light as possible, therefore as far as I know the lightest batteries are the ones made out of Li-Ion. Light-weight is an another advantage to maintain. I hope you agree on the design I have uploaded. Let me know about your opinion regarding this feature.
