Replacement Power Tool Battery


Replacement power tool battery purchases are now made easier. First, do you know what brand your power tool is? Find these main things out to make the correct purchase: brand, model or part number voltage, and capacity.

Is your tool a Makita, a Panasonic or Ryobi? Once you locate the brand you can now find the model or part number of the replacement power tool battery you need. The model number or battery part number will be labeled like this: Ryobi BPS-2400 (if it's a Ryobi) or DC9091 (if it's a Dewalt).

Next, find the voltage. The voltage is the rate at which energy produces a flow of electricity. This will be displayed on the original battery like this:  12V  or 14.4v.

Lastly, power tool battery capacity is required for buying the right replacement battery.  The higher the capacity the better. Battery capacity quantifies the total amount of energy stored within a battery. Capacity is labeled as Ah or mAh.  For example on a Dewalt 14.4v battery it will look like this:  2000 mAh (2.00Ah).

Regardless of what replacement power tool battery you may need, there are over 1500 battery options at Batteryship.com. With brands like Paslode, Bosch, Lincoln and many more you will find what you need for your purchase.
