Power Tool Batteries and Accessories: Platform Compatibility Checklist

Cordless pole chainsaw kit with two batteries, charger and accessories.

Power-tool batteries and accessories must match the exact platform and tool. Similar voltage labels or connector shapes are not proof of compatibility.

Record the model references

Identify the tool, battery and charger model numbers. Use the manufacturer's compatibility information for the complete combination, including any generation differences. Do not assume a third-party adaptor preserves the original safety and operating features.

Component What to verify
Battery Approved platform, voltage and supported tool models
Charger Exact battery compatibility and supply requirements
Cutting or sanding accessory Mounting, dimensions and rated operating limits
Attachment Intended tool model and permitted use

Check the task requirements

An accessory must suit the material and operation as well as fit physically. Follow the tool and accessory instructions, including guards and speed limits. Do not modify a fitting to accept an incompatible component. Inspect batteries and equipment as directed and obtain qualified advice for damage or uncertain compatibility. Choose documented model support before capacity or price. Keeping a record of the platform makes future purchases more reliable than matching the colour or appearance of a battery case.
