1. Understand the Types of Power Tool Batteries

There are several types of power tool batteries, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Here's an overview of the most common types:

Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) Batteries: Durable and affordable but prone to memory effect and environmentally hazardous.
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) Batteries: More eco-friendly than NiCd, with a higher capacity but slower charging time.
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) Batteries: Lightweight, long-lasting, and quick-charging. This is the most popular battery type for modern power tools.
Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) Batteries: A safer, longer-lasting option for high-end tools, offering more stability under heat and pressure.
Lead-Acid Batteries: Less common but used in larger tools for heavy-duty work. They are bulky and require more maintenance.
