For most customers, the KA3008 is the battery Automation Hub recommends first.


Why Choose the KA3008?

The Best Balance of Runtime & Weight

  • Longer runtime than the KA3001

  • Excellent power delivery

  • Outstanding overall value

This makes it the preferred battery for most Kress users.


Important Purchasing Information

What Does ".9" Mean?

Many Kress Commercial tools end with ".9" in the model number.

Examples:

  • KC170.9

  • KC200.9

  • KC231.9

  • KC300.9

  • KC510.9

The ".9" designation means the product is sold as a TOOL ONLY unit.

Tool-only units include:

✅ Tool

But do NOT include:

❌ Battery

❌ Charger

If you purchase a Kress model ending in ".9", you will need to purchase a compatible battery and charger separately unless you already own them.

The KA3008 is one of the most popular battery options for these tools.
