Milwaukee, Makita, Dewalt, Black & Decker, Skil, Bosch, Porter Cable, and Craftsman are leading manufacturers in the Cordless power tool market.Nothing is more frustrating than working on a project, and then to find out that your battery in your cordless drill quits. Today, to see a drill with a cord attached to it is almost a rare event anymore. Cordless drills have become very popular with their user friendly ease of use.  Cordless drills also come with various power options ranging anywhere from 7.2 volts up to 28 volts. Cordless Drill batteries used to be primarily Nicad battery packs. Now you can get Cordless Drills packs consisting of Lithium Ion (sometimes called LI-ION) technology, and Nickel Metal Hydride technology. The newer battery packs don’t suffer from the so called memory effect as do Nicad batteries. Also Lithium Ion batteries store better and do not discharge like other chemistry type batteries. Nickel Metal Hydride batteries do have a faster discharge rate when sitting idle than Lithium Ion but have excellent battery capacity and can be recharged thousands of times without a decline in battery performance.

We have the Best Battery Tips to help you get the most out of your cordless power tools. Below is some cordless power tool tips that will get you the distance when you demand the most out of your cordless tools.

• Never Leave your cordless drill battery pack sit dead or partially discharged. This is the number one reason for premature battery failure in cordless power tools. Always charge the battery back up to 100% before storing it away for awhile or just the day.
• Never store or leave your Cordless Drill in direct sunlight for long periods of time. The sustained heat will deteriorate the chemistry in the battery pack. Always store your cordless tools in temperatures  of 32 to no more than 90 degrees fahrenheit.
• When upgrading your battery pack if currently using Nicad, switch to Lithium Ion or Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH).
• Consider upgrading to a battery pack with a higher milliampere-hour (MAH) rating. There is a big difference in battery duration when going from 1500 MAH to 2000 MAH.
