Festool batteries keep your cordless kit working when the job cannot stop, with Li Ion packs, fast chargers, dual chargers and mounts for tidy storage.
If you are bouncing between cuts, fixings and punch-list snags, downtime kills your day. A spare Festool battery and the right Festool charger means tools stay in your hand, not on the floor waiting. Pick the capacity to suit the graft, and add a battery mount or wall mount so packs are always charged, stored and easy to grab.
If you are trying to work out how long Festool batteries take to charge, or whether your charger setup is keeping up with site use, this guide lays it out clearly.
It covers Festool 18V battery charging times, charger options including standard, rapid and AIRSTREAM units, and how battery capacity affects real world turnaround on busy jobs.
Sorting the right Festool battery set-up is simple: match capacity and charging speed to how you actually work, not what looks good on paper.
1. Battery capacity and tool demand
If you are doing lighter punch-list work, a smaller pack keeps the tool nimble. If you are running higher draw tools or working all day away from power, step up to bigger options like a Festool 4.0Ah battery, 5.0Ah battery or 8.0Ah battery and carry a proper spare battery.
2. Charger choice and how many packs you rotate
If you are a one-tool, one-battery user, a standard Festool battery charger on 240V will do the job. If you are running multiple tools or sharing with a mate, a Festool fast charger or Festool dual charger is what stops the queue building up at the plug socket.
3. Storage and mounts for real site organisation
If your batteries live loose in the van, expect cracked housings and lost packs. A Festool battery mount, wall mount, battery holder or battery rack keeps them protected, visible, and always going back to the same place at the end of the day.
Yes, Festool batteries in this range are Festool Li Ion battery packs. They hold charge well for normal day to day use, but do not leave them cooking on a dashboard or freezing on the floor overnight if you can help it, because temperature abuse is what shortens battery life.
If you only run one or two tools and can charge overnight, the standard Festool battery charger is fine. If you are burning through packs on higher draw tools or you need quick turnarounds on site, a Festool fast charger is the difference between working continuously and waiting around.
A Festool dual charger makes sense when you are rotating multiple packs all day, running more than one cordless tool, or sharing a charging point with someone else. Two bays keeps the workflow steady and stops you constantly swapping batteries on and off a single charger.
Go 4.0Ah if you want lighter weight for quick fixes and overhead work. A 5.0Ah battery is a solid all-rounder for most site days. An 8.0Ah battery is for longer runtime and heavier draw work, but it is bigger and heavier, so it is not always the nicest thing to run on a compact tool.
You can chuck them in a box, but you will pay for it in cracked housings, dirty contacts, and lost packs. A Festool battery mount or wall mount keeps batteries protected and in one place, and it makes it obvious what is charged before you head to site.
The right add-ons stop dead tools, lost packs, and a van full of loose batteries sliding into each other.
This is the fix when you are chewing through packs quicker than they can recover, especially on busy fit-outs where you only get short windows to top up between tasks.
If you run two batteries constantly or share tools, a dual charger stops the usual argument over whose pack gets charged first and keeps the rotation simple.
Mounts give you a fixed home for charging and storage, so batteries are not getting knocked off benches, buried under fixings, or left behind on the last room of a job.
A proper rack is the quickest way to sort Festool battery storage, so you can see at a glance what is charged and what needs going on the Festool charger before you head out.
Whether you need a single Festool battery, a Festool battery charger, or a full set-up with fast chargers, dual chargers and mounts, we stock the range ready for real site use. It is all held in our own warehouse and ready for next day delivery, so you can get powered up without losing a shift.
