What Is a Power Tool Battery?
A power tool battery is a rechargeable battery specifically designed to operate a range of power tools, including drills and impact drivers.
Lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly popular in recent years, favored for their high energy density which translates to longer operation times. Power tool batteries are typically characterized by their high voltage and current specifications.
Voltage, measured in volts (V), determines the power of the battery, with a higher voltage indicating greater power. The current capacity is expressed in ampere-hours (Ah), reflecting the battery’s endurance. A higher Ah rating means the battery can sustain power for a longer duration.
