Cordless Power Tool Battery Types and Properties
At BattAussie.com, we are pleased to supply high quality cordless drill batteries for the leading manufacturers of power tools such as DeWalt, Makita, Decker, Craftsman and more at great prices.
If you plan on buying a cordless drill, then the most important element will be the battery type that you decide to go for. If you use cordless drills then essentially they will either use;
- Nickel Cadmium batteries (Referred to as NiCd)
- Nickel Metal Hydroxide batteries (referred to as NiMH)
- Lithium Ion batteries (Referred to as Li-Ion)
All of the top brands like Dewalt and Makita will use these types of tool batteries. We shall look at the differences below, but it is worth mentioning at this stage, that these also come in different sizes. These sizes will have properties such as:
- Voltage
- Amperes
- Watts
It is the combination of the above three properties that determines the actual power and torque of your cordless drill. It is also the type of battery that will determine how long the Makita 1422 Drill Battery will last without needing to be re-charged. the best way to think of the properties of a battery is:
- Its capacity
- Its storage properties
- Its charge time
Although there are many features to consider when buying a cordless drill, the battery should be your number one priority. It is the same is you plan to remove a Makita BL1830 Drill Battery and replace it with a new one. In my humble opinion the power tool battery type you choose is as important as buying the actual drill itself.
