Cordless Drill Batteries - Not All Created Equal

A lot of time when people need new power tools they will either go to the store and look around, do a little research online, or maybe even ask friends or family for recommendations. This is a good way to get some opinions.



Standard AA-size penlight batteries (2-4 pieces). Resource batteries from 5 to 50 frames, so they supplied in the kit only for performance testing chamber. You'll need to buy extra batteries of this type and charger to them, which could result in $ 20-80. However, this type of power is universal and battery that sat down, you can always replace the batteries, bought in the nearest kiosk. In addition most comprehensive batteries of this type to make more shots than lithium facts-ion battery (but progress does not stand still and do not know what the situation will be one year).

Power cords - Again, in my opinion, they are poor quality and might damage your electronics. Duct tape sand paper painter's tape lithium facts and bungee cords are good though.

There are some concerns when it comes to these high powered batteries and how good they are for the environment. But all hybrid batteries are set to be recycled (Toyota has a $200 bounty on each battery pack), and so unlike some lead batteries from conventional cars, they shouldn't end up in landfills.

Agitate the lithium bettery stock water gently until the light tells you it's done. UV purifiers don't work in murky water, so if that's the only water you have, you'll have to pre-filter it until it's not cloudy. You also need to make sure you don't drop a UV device.

All power tool batteries degrade over time and lithium ion batteries degrade more rapidly over periods of un-use. Accordingly, use them often and when you're not in the trenches of a project, try to use them at least once each month.

The thing to realize about any battery is it does have a measurable lifespan and efforts to extend it will help but not stop the eventual demise. So the number one thing that you can do to extend the life of any of the newer lithium batteries is always take it out if you are running on DC power to lessen the heat impact. Whenever buying any replacement battery, always check the manufacture date and try to find the newest one available.
