ELECTRIC TOOL AND BATTERY PACK

A power tool includes a motor and control means for controlling the motor. The motor is capable of being driven by power supplied from a battery pack including a battery cell. The control means is configured to continue to rotate the motor even when a motor-halt signal is inputted from the battery pack. With this structure, the power tool can be used continuously without need to halt rotation of the motor, even when receiving a halt signal, such as an overdischarge detection signal or an overcurrent detection signal.
