Voltage, amp-hours and the right battery
Voltage (12V, 18V, 21V…) sets the power; amp-hours (Ah) set how long it runs. A 12V set is plenty for household repairs; for plasterboard, timber and regular use, move up to 18V and above.
When the battery dies, do not throw the machine away. We carry batteries from 18V to 88V and from 2.0 Ah to 5.0 Ah. The reliable approach is to bring the old battery or the tool itself; we match the socket and latch type on the shelf.
Carbon brushes are the part that wears fastest and costs least to replace. If the machine is labouring or throwing sparks, the brushes are the first thing to check.
Alongside BN-5, DAWREEK and MOONSHOP cordless drill sets from 12V to 48V, the shelf also carries a BN-5 rotary hammer, 900 W and variable-speed 1000 W angle grinders, a cordless drill–grinder combo and a 6-inch cordless mini chainsaw.
Bring the old one and we will match it
Going by model code alone is often misleading for batteries, brushes and chargers; two models from the same brand can use different sockets. Bring the part in and we will test the fit on the shelf.
Ask about any accessory or spare you cannot see listed — if it is not in stock we can usually source it.
Frequently asked
- How do I find the right battery for my drill?
- The surest way is to bring the old battery or the drill itself to the shop. Even with the same voltage label, socket and latch types vary by brand; we test and match on the shelf.
- 12V or 18V?
- For hanging shelves and driving screws at home, 12V is enough. For continuous use, plasterboard and thick timber, 18V and above works more comfortably.
- When should carbon brushes be replaced?
- When the machine labours, loses power or throws more sparks than usual, the brushes are the first thing to check. Replacing them is cheap and extends the tool's life.
