How to charge a screwdriver battery?
The method of charging the screwdriver battery depends on whether it is built-in or removable. This may also vary between different brands. | |
Built-in batteries | |
cableCordless screwdrivers with built-in batteries can be charged with a cable. One end plugs into the tool, the other plugs into a wall outlet, just like a phone charger. | |
ChargerSome built-in batteries can also be charged with a stand-alone charger. The charger connects to the mains and transfers electrical current to the tool's battery through the handle. | |
If a charger is not included when you purchase your tool, or if you ever need to buy a new one, make sure you choose the correct charger for your battery. The charger will be marked with the material and voltage of the battery it can charge. | |
Please note: Since the battery cannot be removed from the tool, a cordless screwdriver with a built-in battery cannot be used while the battery is being charged. | |
Removable batteries | |
ChargerThe cordless screwdriver with removable battery requires a charger that plugs into the mains to charge the tool. Chargers come in a variety of shapes and sizes. | |
If a charger is not included when you purchase your tool, or if you ever need to buy a new one, make sure you choose the correct charger for your battery. The charger will be marked with the material and voltage of the battery it can charge. | |
Please note: While the battery is charging, you will not be able to use the cordless screwdriver unless you buy a spare battery to use in the tool while the first one is charging. |
