<p>A crimping tool for crimping electrical connectors. The tool has a compression head (14), a hydraulic pump (24), an electric motor (26), a removable rechargeable battery (28), and a control system. The control system has a printed circuit board (42) that monitors voltage of the battery, a trigger, and a hydraulic system pressure sensor (38). The tool is prevented from starting a crimp operation if the circuitry on the printed circuit board (42) senses a predetermined inadequate low voltage level of the battery (28) that could otherwise prevent a good crimp from being obtained. After a good crimp is obtained, the circuitry disables operation of the motor (26) for a predetermined amount of time. <IMAGE></p> |
