Frequently Asked Questions About Power Tool Batteries

  • Tips and Safety Notices for Power Tool Batteries

    Helpful Tips:
    1. Recharge your power tool battery regularly. Even if the tool is not used often, charge the battery at least once every 1–2 months to maintain performance.
    2. Avoid running tools continuously at maximum load unless necessary, as high power draw can shorten battery life.
    3. Remove the battery from the tool when not in use for extended periods.
    4. Always use the original charger or a certified compatible charger designed for your battery type.
    5. Store power tool batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
    Warnings:
    1. Do not frequently drain the battery to 0%, as deep discharge may reduce lifespan.
    2. Avoid exposure to water, moisture, or extreme heat.
    3. Do not use damaged chargers or low-quality charging accessories.
    4. Never puncture, crush, disassemble, or burn a lithium-ion power tool battery.
  • What is the correct way to charge a new power tool battery?

    Proper charging helps maximize the lifespan of your replacement power tool battery.
    1. Initial Charging
      Fully charge the battery before first use. Some batteries may reach optimal performance after 2–3 normal charge cycles.
    2. Avoid Overcharging
      Do not leave the battery connected to the charger for extended periods after reaching full charge.
    3. Temperature Control
      Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area and avoid high-temperature environments.
    4. Usage Habits
      For longer runtime, avoid constant heavy-load operation whenever possible.
  • My new power tool battery is not charging. Is it defective?

    In most cases, no. New power tool batteries are usually shipped with a low charge level. During the first few charging cycles, charging behavior may appear inconsistent. Allow the battery to complete several full charge cycles. If the issue continues, check the charger or try another compatible battery.

  • Recommended usage and precautions for power tool batteries

    Recommended Usage:
    1. Use the battery regularly to keep internal cells active.
    2. Recharge before the battery level drops too low.
    3. For long-term storage, keep the battery at approximately 50–70% charge.
    4. Clean battery contacts periodically to ensure stable power delivery.
    Precautions:
    1. Do not short-circuit battery terminals.
    2. Keep batteries away from fire, water, and corrosive environments.
    3. Avoid dropping or applying physical force to the battery.
  • Why is my power tool battery not charging properly?

    Charging issues may occur due to the following reasons:
    1. Battery aging
      Over time, battery cells lose capacity and may require replacement.
    2. Charger malfunction
      A faulty or incompatible charger may prevent proper charging.
    3. Tool or contact issues
      Dirty or damaged battery terminals can interrupt power flow.
    If problems persist, replacing the battery with a compatible power tool battery is recommended.
  • How can I extend the lifespan of my power tool battery?

    1. Avoid deep discharges whenever possible.
    2. Store batteries at moderate temperatures.
    3. Rotate between multiple batteries to reduce wear.
    4. Recharge batteries periodically if not in use.
  • The voltage of your battery is slightly different from mine. Is it safe to use?

    Yes. Slight voltage differences are normal and generally compatible, such as:
    3.6V / 3.7V
    7.2V / 7.4V
    10.8V / 11.1V
    14.4V / 14.8V

  • The battery capacity (Ah) is different from my original one. Does it still work?

    Yes. A higher-capacity power tool battery offers longer runtime without affecting compatibility, as long as voltage and physical dimensions match your tool.

  • How can I confirm this power tool battery is compatible with my tool?

    All replacement power tool batteries listed on our website are tested for compatibility with the specified models. If you need assistance, please contact us and our support team will help you choose the correct battery.

Failed Delivery, Pickup Point, and Tracking FAQ

  • Why was my parcel redirected to a collection point or warehouse?

    If the carrier is unable to deliver the parcel to the specified address (for example, due to the recipient’s absence, restricted access, local delivery procedures, customs requirements, or delivery conditions), the parcel may be redirected to a collection point, parcel locker, warehouse, or another available delivery option.

  • How long will my parcel be held for collection?

    The storage period depends on the carrier, destination country, and collection location. Please refer to the tracking information or carrier notification. If the parcel is not collected within the required timeframe, it may be returned, disposed of, destroyed, or handled in accordance with local regulations.

  • Can I request redelivery or change the delivery address?

    In some cases, the carrier may allow redelivery, address correction, or parcel redirection. Availability depends on the country, carrier, service level, and shipment status. Additional charges may apply.

  • What should I do if customs requests payment or documents?

    Please complete the required actions first (such as paying duties or submitting documents) and keep the proof of payment or confirmation. Then contact our customer service team with your order number and relevant documents so we can review the case in accordance with applicable policies.

  • What happens if I do not collect my parcel in time?

    If the parcel is not collected within the carrier’s specified timeframe, it may be returned to our warehouse, disposed of, destroyed, held in accordance with regulations, or deemed non-returnable. The final outcome depends on the carrier, customs authorities, local regulations, and shipment status.

  • What should I do if the tracking shows “delivered” but I have not received the parcel?

    First, check with neighbours, household members, reception, concierge, or building management. If you still cannot locate the parcel, please contact us as soon as possible – we will help review the delivery details and, where possible, initiate an investigation with the carrier.

  • Can I return a damaged battery by regular post?

    No. For safety reasons, batteries that are swollen, leaking, damaged, overheating, recalled, or otherwise hazardous must not be returned without first contacting us. Please contact customer service for safety instructions.
