To replace Power tool battery you must consider the following factors:
- Brand
- Battery Part Number and Model Number
- Voltage
- Capacity
- Store
To start with, you must know what brand of power tool you have? Consider your current power tool battery. Is it a Dewalt, Hitachi, Makita, Paslode or what? Once you have identified the brand then you can move on to the most important piece of information you will need – part number and model number.
Part Number and Model Number
The Power tool battery part number and model number are essential in knowing exactly what battery you need to buy. Without these numbers you will inevitably order the wrong battery. For example let's say you have a Makita cordless tool and all you know is that it is a 12V drill. Marked on the battery and the tool will be numbers that will look like MAK-1222, 6223D, 6835D, or 192598-2. These numbers all identify the model of your drill and the required battery.
Voltage
This will be displayed on your battery’s label as a number (say 12 volts) that looks like 12V, or 14.4V, or 9.6V, or 18V as examples.
Capacity
Capacity indicates how long your power tool battery will power your tool. The higher the better. Capacity is marked as Ah or mAh. For example 2.0Ah is the same as 2000 mAh.
Store
