Battery Platform Finder
Find your battery platform
Four questions about your work. We will match you to a brand, tell you which of its batteries to build on, and show you exactly why.
What is your trade?
Or the nearest thing to it. Different trades lean on very different kit.
What matters most to you?
Pick the one you would not give up.
What is your budget like?
Batteries are where the money goes, so be realistic.
Do you already own batteries?
If you do, staying put usually saves the most money.
Your match
Matched on your answers and our own judgement from years on the tools. Nothing on this page is an affiliate link.
Why the platform matters more than the tool
Batteries cost more than tools
A 5.0Ah pack is £80 to £140. Switch brand and you buy them all again.
Brands do not cross over
DeWalt packs do not fit Makita tools, Makita packs do not fit Milwaukee. Pick once.
Breadth pays off later
The more the range covers, the more use you get out of every pack you own.
