Electric Powertool & Drill Battery Usage and Maintain Guideline

What to look for when you need a new cordless drill & power tool battery?


We stock a vast array of NON-OEM power tools & drill batteries. We have everything from the smallest screwdriver battery to the largest lithium-ion battery used to power a cordless SDS drill. We have in stock hundreds of cells for all the leading brands such as:



Our range encompasses batteries for drills, saws, sanders, grinders, and multi-tools. All our products have undergone rigorous and extensive testing to ensure your safety and protection. Our batteries have both RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and CE (European conformity) certification. Our products achieve ISO 9001 Quality Management Standards. All our power tools & drill batteries come with a one-year manufacture warranty as standard.


Finding the right blend of performance and price when looking for a new battery can be daunting. We hope to dispel a few myths regarding NON-OEM batteries and help you make the correct decision when purchasing. Over time, power tools & drill batteries lose their charge and may require frequent charging. Do you have to swap your battery several times an hour? Are you constantly having to wait for your battery to get to full power? Could you do with a spare battery in your toolbox just in case? We have the perfect solution here at drill-battery.shop with our high-quality affordable replacement batteries. Buying original cells from the power tool manufacturers such as DeWalt and Makita can account for around half the cost of the tool. When replacing several batteries at the same time, the cost can soon add up. We can offer you a great alternative to the original battery at a very competitive price point without the need to compromise on reliability or performance.


The easiest way to find the correct fitment for your power tool or drill is to type the model or the battery part number into the easy to navigate search bar above. The numbers can usually be found in the user manual or stamped on the device. We have different capacity batteries in stock for each model. You can choose the right one for your needs (higher capacity batteries achieve a longer operational running time but are heavier and take longer to charge).


What do capacity and volts mean, and what to look out for?


You will always see capacity and voltage markings on batteries. A "v" indicates the voltage or volts. Capacity is denoted by "mAh", an acronym for milliampere-hour and is commonly used to indicate the maximum energy stored in the cell.



The directory definition of Volts:


"The SI unit of electromotive force, the difference of potential that would carry one ampere of current against one ohm resistance."


In simple layman's terms it tells us how fast the electrons will travel through the circuit, so the higher the voltage the more powerful tool will be. Below is a list of common voltages for power tools.


The directory definition of capacity:


"The maximum amount that something can contain"


In battery terminology capacity is measured in mAh. The mAh number indicates how much energy can be stored in the cells. The larger the mAh number is the longer the tool can be operational.


Which type of battery should I choose, why are there so many different types?


With battery technology changing all the time, it's hard to keep up with current trends and know the best choice for your power tool or drill. We have broken down the features of the current technologies used in power tools so you can make an informed decision and choose the right product for your needs.


NiCd (nickel-cadmium)

NiCd is one of the oldest technologies and was invented over 100 years ago. They have good performance characteristics at low temperatures, coupled with a good cycle life span (it can be charged many times) and have an exceptional capacity range.


Ni-Mh (nickel-metal hydride)


Ni-Mh batteries were invented in the 1960s' and are still widely used today. The main advantages are the low cost and stability of the cell. Ni-Mh has surpassed the older NiCd technology in both capacity and reliability.


li-ion (Lithium-ion)


li-ion is the most common compound used in today's power tools. With the demands of tradesmen and DIY enthusiasts getting ever greater lithium-ion batteries have quickly become the go-to choice for people looking for a dependable, cost-effective battery that gives constant power and performance at a great price. Lithium-ion has the increased benefit of being lighter than other compounds used. All these extra benefits do come at a cost. Lithium-ion batteries are more expensive than both Ni-Mh and NiCd counterparts.


When purchasing a new battery cell, you have several things to consider:



Cost-effectiveness: Does the cost of a new battery outweigh the cost of a new power tool or drill?

With our competitive pricing, you can be sure that it will be more cost-effective to buy a replacement battery from us than replacing your current tool.

Compatibility: Will it work? How can I be sure that it will work with my power tool?

With years of experience in the battery market and a knowledgeable UK based customer service team, we can help you find the right product for your device. Our comprehensive easy to use search function will enable you to find the correct fitment quickly and accurately.

Warranty: What happens when things go wrong? It's not working, what should I do now?
