Power tool batteries, commonly known as cordless tool batteries, have been designed to work with many cordless power tool types e.g. power drills, impact drivers, angle grinders, jigsaws, torches etc. and allow you to continue working without having to wait for the current battery to charge. Batteries coming from the same manufacturers and with the same voltage rating as power tools, are typically compatible with each other, eliminating the need of buying dedicated batteries for each tool. Batteries are available in various voltages and capacity.
