What batteries are included in a tool combo set?

The batteries that tool brands include in their combo sets are typically the lower capacity, 2.0 amp-hour (Ah) variety, though some sets offer larger capacity batteries. Battery chargers also vary. Some sets will include basic charges, while others come with higher-end, fast chargers that fully recharge batteries in as little as 45 minutes.

How do you know if a battery is a cordless tool?

When looking at cordless tools, you’ll see voltage (V) and amp-hours (Ah) listed on batteries. Voltage (V) = Power – Higher voltage means more power output. Most brands offer 18V or 20V tools for general use, but if you need extra power, look at 40V, 60V, or even 80V platforms.
