To store electricity in buildings, batteries are most commonly used. Examples include lead acid, molten salt (sodium sulphur, sodium metal hydride), lithium ion and flow batteries.
In years past, there were several types of battery chemistry available. NiCd, NiMH and Li-Ion. Today, Li-Ion, or “lithium,” has taken over the vast majority of the battery powered tool market. It has proven to be the best battery chemistry for power tools. There are various types of lithium batteries available.
This is often the case with professional outdoor power tool batteries. Tools vary as to how much power they draw. An impact driver uses less power than a drill and they both use less power than an angle grinder. The capacity and number of batteries needed will be determined by which tools are being used and how long they are in operation.
Today, batteries can power most of the tools that used to require a power cord or compressed air line. Batteries also power many new tools and devices that didn't exist as corded tools. Drills, impact drivers and screw guns. Wrenches and ratchets for industrial, automotive and construction applications.
