12v Lithium-ion Battery


Did you know that a 12v lithium-ion battery is an exceptional battery?  The benefits are great. Because of its high energy density as well as being a low maintenance battery, this battery is sought after by people for many different uses. Not only used in batteries, lithium is used in things like rubber and greases among other things.  Lithium-ion is also the lightest of all metals with the greatest electrochemical potential which also makes it in high demand.

Sometimes it is helpful to understand the composition of products in order to make an informed decision before making a purchase, especially when it comes to batteries. Speaking of composition and at a very basic level,  lithium-ion battery consists of an alkali metal extracted from igneous rocks and natural brines, which is then manufactured into the material used for the battery. Another great aspect to a lithium-ion battery is that it is environmentally friendly to dispose of.

What use do you have for this type of battery? Maybe you are in search of a battery replacement for your power tool. The 12v lithium-ion battery is made for all types of devices like: Craftsman, Hitachi, Dewalt and Panasonic to name a few. Depending on your drill, the voltage and battery style also matter when buying a replacement battery.

For now we know that the voltage you are looking for is a 12v. But the style of your battery could be a pod, stick or slide on. Do you know which one you have? Once you do, you can move onto whether or not you want to upgrade your battery runtime. Increasing your runtime means that the you have a higher battery capacity. In an aftermarket purchase you can increase your battery capacity by over 50% in some cases.  For example, for a Milwaukee 12V battery pod style, model #48-11-0140 the OEM battery that came with your drill has a capacity of 1300 mAh, where as the new battery from Batteryship.com has a capacity of 2000 mAh. This is 54% more runtime, which means more value for your money.

How can you go wrong? Another advantage to buying this battery or any other 12v lithium-ion battery at Batteryship.com is that you also get a one year warranty and a thirty day money back guarantee, should you need it.
