Which Tool Battery is the Best (+How You Can Interchange Battery Brands With Your Tools!)

When it comes to power tool brands, everybody has their preferences. Some of us have preferences because we like the tried and true. Perhaps others, though, believe in a certain concept like spending good money on tools yielding good results. In any situation, there are definitely different brands that will be appropriate for different people and different lines of work.

What a lot of folks don’t know, though, is that different battery brands can actually be interchanged with particular tools. All that it takes is a simple adapter and you can use one brand of tool with another brand of battery. For example, maybe you have a Milwaukee impact driver but an adapter can make sure that a DeWalt battery will work properly with it.

At the end of the day, there are lots of different metrics by which one might want to measure their tools’ success. However, batteries should be a little bit simpler to determine which is the best. At the end of the day, there are only a couple of supreme metrics like how long a battery will last on a charge, how long the battery will last before it dies forever, and how expensive the battery is.

Below, our host over at Project Farm attempts to dive into the world of tool batteries to see if there is a clear winner here.

At the end of the day, saving a couple of bucks on a battery and maybe getting a better product could end up being worth it. For some, brand loyalty may win. However, others could use this demonstration to determine which battery is truly the best. Videos like these are useful to help the consumer get the best deal possible. We can’t help but love how they really keep brands accountable so that they keep on their toes, creating the best product that they possibly can.
