Disclaimer

Last updated: 28 March 2026

General Disclaimer

Tool Compatibility (toolcompatibility.com) provides battery compatibility data, tool specifications, accessory guides, and related informational content. The information here is general guidance, not advice for your particular tool or job. We take reasonable care in compiling it, but we cannot promise that every detail is complete, current or right for your situation, and we do not give any guarantee about the results you will get from using it. If you are a consumer, this does not affect any right you have under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 or any other law that cannot be excluded.

We are not a tool manufacturer, authorised dealer, certified safety body, or licensed professional of any kind. We are an independent informational resource. Our compatibility data is compiled from publicly available manufacturer specifications, product listings, and independent research. It has not been verified or endorsed by any manufacturer. This Site does not provide engineering, safety, or professional advice and should not be relied upon as such under any applicable UK, US federal, or US state law.

Compatibility Information May Be Wrong

Despite our best efforts, compatibility information on this Site may contain errors, omissions, or outdated data. There are several reasons why our information might not apply to your specific situation:

Manufacturer changes: Manufacturers regularly update their product lines, change battery platforms, revise compatibility rules, and discontinue products — often without public announcement. A combination that was compatible yesterday may not be compatible today.

Regional variations: Tools and batteries sold in different countries may have different specifications, voltages, connectors, or compatibility rules, even when sold under the same model number.

Product revisions: Manufacturers may release updated versions of tools or batteries with the same model number but different internal specifications, altered safety features, or changed compatibility.

Third-party and aftermarket products: Our information primarily covers genuine manufacturer products. Third-party, aftermarket, or replacement batteries, chargers, and accessories may behave differently and may not be covered by manufacturer safety testing or warranties.

Human error: As with any reference resource, our data may contain typographical errors, transcription mistakes, or misinterpretations of manufacturer specifications.

Power Tool Safety Risks

Power tools are inherently dangerous. Misuse, improper maintenance, or use of incompatible components can result in:

Battery-related hazards: Lithium-ion batteries can experience thermal runaway (uncontrollable overheating), fire, explosion, release of toxic gases, and chemical burns if used with incompatible chargers or tools, if damaged, short-circuited, or exposed to extreme temperatures.

Tool-related hazards: Using incorrect blades, discs, drill bits, chains, sanding pads, or other accessories can cause catastrophic tool failure, projectile debris, kickback, electric shock, burns, lacerations, amputation, and death.

Charger-related hazards: Using an incompatible charger with a battery can cause overcharging, overheating, fire, and permanent battery damage. Not all chargers within the same brand are compatible with all batteries in that brand’s range.

Your Responsibilities

Before using any tool, battery, charger, or accessory combination, you must:

1. Read and follow the manufacturer’s user manual and safety instructions for every product involved.

2. Check the manufacturer’s official compatibility information — not just this website — to confirm that the combination is approved for use.

3. Contact the manufacturer directly if you have any doubt whatsoever about compatibility or safe use.

4. Inspect all products for damage, wear, or defects before every use.

5. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as specified by the manufacturer, including but not limited to safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves, and dust masks.

6. Follow all applicable workplace health and safety regulations, including the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) in the UK, and all applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards and state workplace safety regulations in the United States.

7. Ensure you are trained and competent to use the tools and equipment in question.

8. Never modify tools, batteries, chargers, or accessories in any way not approved by the manufacturer.

Affiliate Links Disclosure

This Site contains affiliate links, primarily to Amazon.co.uk. When you click on these links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission. This means we have a financial relationship with the retailers we link to. However, our affiliate relationships do not influence our compatibility data or editorial content. Compatibility information is based on manufacturer specifications and independent research.

Product prices, availability, ratings, and delivery information displayed on this Site are sourced from third-party retailers and may change at any time. We do not guarantee the accuracy of any product information provided by third parties.

Any product purchase you make through an affiliate link is a transaction between you and the retailer. We are not a party to that transaction and accept no liability for product quality, delivery, returns, or any other aspect of your purchase.

No Endorsement

References to specific brands, products, or model numbers on this Site are for informational purposes only and do not constitute an endorsement or recommendation. All trademarks, brand names, and product names are the property of their respective owners.

The inclusion of any product on this Site does not mean we have tested it, endorse it, or guarantee its quality or safety. Our compatibility data describes reported compatibility based on manufacturer specifications — it is not a safety certification or product endorsement.

Professional Advice

Nothing on this Site constitutes professional, engineering, safety, or legal advice. If you need specific advice about tool safety, battery handling, workplace compliance, or any related matter, you should consult a qualified professional.

Limitation of Liability

We do not exclude our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights are unaffected.

Subject to that, and because this Site provides general information rather than advice about your particular tool, job or workplace, we are not responsible for losses that are not a foreseeable result of any failure by us to use reasonable care and skill in preparing that information. We do not manufacture, sell or supply any of the products described here.

The full position is set out in section 4 of our Terms and Conditions.

Notes for readers outside the UK

This Site is published from the United Kingdom and is written for a UK audience. Product ranges, model numbers, voltages, mains supply and safety standards differ between countries, so information here may not apply where you are. Always follow the documentation supplied with your own tool.

We do not make or sell these products. We are an independent information publisher. We do not manufacture, sell, distribute or supply any of the tools, batteries, chargers or accessories described on this Site.

Affiliate disclosure (including for readers in the United States). Some links on this Site are affiliate links: if you buy through them we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

This is disclosed at the top of every page that carries such links, in line with the ASA’s guidance in the UK and the US Federal Trade Commission’s Endorsement Guides (16 CFR Part 255).

Your own local law. Consumer protection law in your country may give you rights that cannot be excluded by a website notice. Nothing here is intended to take away any such right.
