How to Match Batteries with Electrical Tools A Complete Guide

Understanding Battery-Tool Compatibility

Ever wondered why your cordless drill dies mid-project or your angle grinder underperforms? The secret often lies in battery-tool matching—a critical yet frequently overlooked aspect of power tool efficiency. Let's crack the code to maximize performance and safety.

Key Factors for Battery Selection

  • Voltage (V): The engine of compatibility. Mismatched voltage can damage tools or cause fires.
  • Capacity (Ah/mAh): Determines runtime. Higher Ah = longer operation.
  • Chemistry: Li-ion dominates modern tools with 30% faster charging than NiCad.
  • Form Factor: Slide-on vs. plug-in battery types vary by tool brand.
