Power Tool Batteries and Chargers

357 products · Drill Bits, Cutters and Inserts

Batteries and chargers for cordless tools used on building sites, in workshops and for gardening. Every system has its own battery: choosing the right one means the work does not stop, because battery packs and chargers are not interchangeable between brands.

What you will find in this collection

  • Lithium batteries for 12 V, 18 V and higher systems
  • Single, simultaneous and multi-bay chargers
  • Battery and charger kits
  • Batteries and chargers for robotic lawnmowers and garden tools
  • Cables, adapters and battery holders

The brands included are Makita, Milwaukee, DeWalt, SPIT, Husqvarna, Efco, Oleo-Mac and Fervi.

How to choose the right battery

First of all, compatibility: brand, system (12 V, 18 V, 36 V, 56 V) and tool model. Then the capacity in Ah, which sets the run time: for continuous work a higher capacity or a second battery to swap in is worthwhile. A multi-bay charger is useful when several people work with the same system.

To check availability, compatibility and lead times, write to or call AMES Srl and request a quote: supplies are on a quotation basis.

Frequently asked questions: Power Tool Batteries and Chargers
Why are battery tool packs not interchangeable between brands?

Each system has its own mechanical connection and voltage, and the charger is designed for the battery of its own brand. For this reason a Makita pack does not fit a DeWalt tool, and vice versa. Before buying, check the tool platform and choose a battery and charger from the same family.

Which battery should be chosen between 12 V, 18 V, 20 V and 36 V?

The voltage indicates the power of the tool and should be chosen according to the use. 12 V packs are compact for light work, while 18 V and 20 V are very common for work on site. 36 V packs, such as the Ryobi BPL3640D2 or the HiKOKI Multi Volt, are used for more demanding tools. Always check the voltage required by the tool.

How many amp-hours are needed in a battery for site work?

Ah indicates the capacity and therefore the run time on a charge: a 5 Ah battery lasts longer than a 3 Ah one with the same tool. For continuous work, a higher capacity or two batteries to alternate while charging is advisable. Also consider the weight, because higher-capacity batteries are heavier.

What is the difference between a fast charger, a dual charger and a kit with charger?

A fast charger reduces charging times, a dual charger allows two batteries to be charged together, while kits already include a matched battery and charger. In multi-bay chargers each slot charges one pack. Check that the charger is compatible with the voltage and the battery family.

How do you charge a lithium battery safely?

Charge batteries in a dry, well-ventilated place, away from flammable materials, and always use the manufacturer's charger. Do not charge a damaged or overheated battery and do not leave the charger plugged in unattended for days. Let the battery cool down after intensive work before putting it on charge.

How are exhausted or damaged lithium batteries disposed of?

Lithium batteries must not be thrown away with household waste. They must be taken to municipal collection points or to retailers that accept used batteries. A damaged battery should be isolated at its terminals with tape and stored away from heat sources until it is handed in.

Which batteries and chargers are needed for robotic mowers and garden tools?

For robotic mowers and garden tools there are dedicated batteries and chargers. The catalogue includes Efco products, such as the Bi 540 and Bi 5,0 EF batteries and the CRG 520 charger. Before buying, check the model of the tool and the voltage required, because site systems are not interchangeable.

Who uses battery tools on site and in workshops?

Bricklayers, electricians, carpenters, mechanics and maintenance workers use battery tools and need charged packs for the whole day. Teams with several tools from the same brand organise the battery fleet to reduce idle time. Those working in gardening choose systems dedicated to garden tools instead.
