What are the steps for power tool battery replacement?

If your power tool battery is dead, or is nearing the end of its usable life, it's time to order a replacement. You have three options: buy a replacement at a hardware store, buy one from the manufacturer, or buy one here at Laptops for Less. Buying a power tool battery at Laptops for Less will save you a lot of money, which you can then use to buy supplies for your home projects.

Power Tool Battery Replacement Steps

  1. Disconnect the battery. Note the voltage, mAH, chemistry (NiCD, Ni-MH, or Li-ion), part number, and model number.
  2. Sign on to Laptops for Less. Click Power Tool Batteries.
  3. Select the power tool manufacturer.
  4. Select either the model or the part number from the dropdown boxes.
  5. Confirm that your model number is listed in the battery description and verify that the chemistry, voltage, and mAH are correct.
  6. Compare the photo to the actual battery for your tool. Ignore differences in color or labeling. Your main concerns are the shape, size, and connectors.

You can search for a replacement faster by entering the part number into the search box at the top of each window. If you're not sure whether you've found the right battery, or can't locate the right battery, contact our customer service team at 1-800-556-4490 for assistance.

Once the battery arrives, confirm that it properly seats into your tool, then allow it to fully charge. Once it's charged, test the new battery in the tool. If it doesn't fit, don't force it. Instead contact Laptops for Less about replacing it with the correct battery.

Power tools are expensive, so it's much better to find the right replacement battery than it is to replace the whole tool. A battery from Laptops for Less will last as long as your original for a fraction of the cost.
