Comprehensive Guide to Power Tool Batteries
Looking for the best power tool battery? This comprehensive guide covers top brands like DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, and Bosch, with insights on choosing the right battery based on your
I tested dozens of power tool batteries throughout 2025 and found eight brands that stand out in durability, efficiency, and overall lifespan. These companies have made their battery technology better to give you reliable power even in tough conditions. 1. DeWalt – Best for durability and jobsite use
Some brands offer budget-friendly options, while others are premium-priced. Ryobi, Craftsman, Ridgid, and Skil – Affordable tool/battery pricing, great for DIYers. DeWALT and Milwaukee (M18 Non-FUEL) – Good value for mid-range users. Makita, Bosch, and Milwaukee FUEL – High-quality tools, but batteries can be pricey.
No, which is why it's important to choose one brand and stick to it. Some brands, like Milwaukee, base their platforms on two types of batteries versus one, like DeWalt. Still, having a couple of batteries for all your cordless tools beats having even more across brands. Is it worth investing in the same tools that pros buy?
The right battery capacity matched to your tool matters—using smaller batteries (like 2.0Ah or 4.0Ah) for high-powered tools can shorten the battery's life from too much strain. Voltage requirements play a key role too. The voltage sets your tool's power level—higher voltage batteries give more power for tough jobs, though they weigh more.
