Aussie reliable battery supplier: AussieBatt is an Online Power Tool Battery Shop offer premium quality cordless drill batteries, like makita power tool batteries, bosch power tool batteries, dewalt drill batteries .etc. Cordless power tools are a popular and viable choice for nearly all hand held drilling tasks on almost any woodworking project. Cordless drills come in various sizes and with a number of different features. So your in the market for a new cordless power tool battery for that trusty old Makita drill or Dewalt drill. You searched on the web and found out that there are a number of aftermarket batteries out there. But which one do you buy? Ni-mh …Ni-cd …AH …mAH It’s all so confusing! Today AussieBatt power tool battery experts will try to make sense of some of this gibberish.
Any amp hour rating will work in any cordless power tool
Amp hour Ratings, AH, or mAH is really pretty simple. It is a measurement of how long the power tool battery should last between charges. The simplest way to look at it is that a 2.0AH battery can sustain a 2 amp load for one hour before it needs recharged. There is actually a more complicated way they use to determine the rating, but we won’t get into that here. Any amp hour rating will work in any tool. The mAh rating is just AH x 1000. The higher the rating the longer the Makita 193158-3 Cordless Drill Battery can run your tool before you need to put it back on the charger. Here at Toolbatt we don’t sell anything less than 2.0AH unless it is a really old model that only comes in a lesser AH rating. So when it comes to amp hours just try to get the most for your money.
Cordless drill doesn’t care what the chemistry of the battery is, but the power tool battery charger does
First off Ni-mh, NI-cd, and Li-ion are the chemistry of the battery cells that are inside the battery pack. It is best to stick with the chemistry that you already have unless you plan on buying a new charger. Any battery chemistry will work in any tool. That DC motor inside your tool doesn’t care what the chemistry of the Makita 193157-5 Power Tool Battery is only voltage, but your charger does. It can be very dangerous charging batteries in the wrong type of charger. The most commonly used chemistry is Ni-cd aka Ni-cad. This chemistry is good for high discharge and can be charged many times. The downside is that they are very toxic and must be recycled. Please do not throw these in the trash Lowe’s and Radioshack both will recycle them for free.
Shopping a new power tool battery for your cordless drill instructions
• Match the battery chemistry and voltage you already have (unless you plan on buying a new battery charger)
• Buy a quality power tool battery pack from a reliable battery supplier with a good reputation
• Try to get the most amp hours for your cordless power tool
