Know your platform
Battery decoder.
Type your tool's model number. We tell you every battery and charger that fits, which pack is worth buying, and when you're about to make an expensive switch between platforms.
How battery platforms actually work
A "battery platform" is a shared physical and electrical connector. Every tool and every pack in the same platform — Milwaukee M18, DeWalt 20V MAX, etc. — speaks the same language. Mix platforms and nothing plugs in.
The FlexVolt exception: DeWalt's FlexVolt packs auto-switch between 20V and 60V depending on the tool they're clicked into. That means one 9.0Ah FlexVolt pack powers your 20V MAX impact driver and your 60V FlexVolt table saw. Milwaukee has no equivalent.
Why it matters at checkout: picking a tool on a platform you don't already own means buying batteries too. A Milwaukee M18 HD12.0 pack is ~$219 retail. Add a charger and you're at $280+ before you've drilled a hole. Before you switch, know what you're about to spend.
Call us. We'll tell you the right pack in 30 seconds.
