Power Tool Battery Charger

Cordless tool battery chargers replenish the power of depleted tool batteries so that the batteries can be reused. Drill battery chargers work with batteries of the same brand and a compatible voltage and battery chemistry/type (Li-Ion, NiCd, or NiMH). Battery chargers have one or more ports for connecting batteries to the charger. An indicator on the charger confirms that a battery is charging. Charging at room temperature helps batteries get an optimal charge. Charge times differ based on the charging rate in amps (A) of the charger, with higher amps delivering a faster charge. They also differ based on the amp-hour (Ah) rating of the battery, with higher Ah batteries taking longer to charge.

Factors to Consider Before Buying Power Tool Battery Charger

Brand - It is important to consider the brand before buying. Branded chargers come with a warranty as they offer replacement parts. It is also available easily. It is however advised to do some research before you choose to buy.

Voltage & Ampere Hours - You can see how much power your tool can produce in volts (V). The ampere-hour (Ah) rating indicates how much charge (in amps) flows through the battery terminals in one hour. In short, the higher the Ah rating, the longer your battery will last between charges!

Compatibility - Some chargers offer particularly fast charge times (20, 30, or 60 mins). These chargers can be used to charge batteries rated 7-24V and may function with nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH), or lithium-ion (L-Ion) technology. Charge time is also dependent on current characteristics; for example, a powerful battery charger will charge a 1.5 Ah lithium-ion battery in 30 minutes, a 3 Ah battery in 60 minutes, and a 4 Ah battery in 80 mins.

Charging Time - It is important to consider the charging time before buying a power tool battery charger. Most tool chargers take between 30 minutes to 3 hours to charge to full capacity.
