Power tool batteries are specifically designed for each power tool brand and model. Camcorderbatterypack.co.uk offers a wide selection of power tool batteries and compatible replacements for most power tools. Please select your power tool brand from the list below.
If my original power tool battery is a NiCD battery, can I use a different chemistry battery?
That would depend on both your charger and power tool. A lot of chargers will charge NiMH batteries, and a few others will charge Li-Ion. However, even if your charger will do this, your power tool might not. It is best in these situations, to check your user manual or contact the manufacture to find out the technical specs of your model.
Where do I recycle my old batteries?
Old batteries may be returned to the battery retailer, automotive service station, a battery manufacturer or other authorized collection centres for recycling.
What Are The Different Types of Rechargeable Battery Chemistries & Technologies?
Batteries in portable consumer devices (laptops and notebooks, camcorders, cellular phones, etc.) are principally made using either Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) or Lithium Ion (Li-ion) technologies. Each type of rechargeable battery technology has its own unique characteristics.
What is the difference between a Ni-Cd and Ni-MH chemistry battery?
The main difference between the two is the fact that Ni-MH batteries (the newer of the two technologies) offer higher energy densities than Ni-Cd's. In other words, pound for pound, Ni-MH delivers approximately twice the capacity of its Ni-Cd counterpart. What this translates into is increased run-time from the battery with no additional bulk to weigh down your portable device. Ni-MH also offers another major advantage: Ni-Cd batteries tend to suffer from what is called the "memory effect". Ni-MH batteries are less prone to develop this dreaded affliction and thus require less maintenance and care. Ni-MH batteries are also more environmentally friendly than their Ni-Cd counterparts since they do not contain heavy metals (which present serious landfill problems).
