Worx Batteries
Worx batteries keep your cordless kit working without stoppages, whether you're trimming, drilling or clearing up. Match the pack to the tool and the shift.
If your kit is sound but the runtime is poor, start with the battery. These worx batteries are what you buy when the original pack is tired, when you need a spare on the van, or when one battery simply is not enough to finish the job. The Worx Power Share battery system makes life easier if you already run the brand, letting the same 20V battery move across compatible tools, while 40V set-ups use paired batteries for bigger outdoor jobs. If you are sorting out a worx replacement battery, checking capacity and platform first saves hassle later. You can also pair them with Worx Chargers, browse the wider Worx Batteries, Chargers and Mounts range, or match them with Worx Power Tool Accessories. If you are already invested in Worx Cordless Kits or use Worx Drills and Drivers for regular site and garden work, pick the right worx battery pack here and keep the job moving.
What Are Worx Batteries Used For?
- Keeping cordless Worx tools running through longer jobs when one pack would leave you waiting around for a recharge halfway through the day.
- Swapping a tired worx replacement battery into older kit that still works fine but no longer holds enough charge for proper use.
- Powering compatible 20V Power Share tools so you can move the same battery between drills, drivers, garden kit, and clean-up gear without dragging out leads.
- Building 40V outdoor set-ups where two compatible batteries are used together for tougher mowing, cutting, and clearance jobs that need more run time and output.
- Keeping a spare worx battery pack on the van so there is always a charged pack ready when the first one drops flat at the far end of the job.
Choosing the Right Worx Batteries
Sorting the right worx battery pack is simple: match the platform first, then buy enough capacity for the way you actually work.
1. 20V or 40V
If your tool is a single-battery Worx 20V model, buy the correct worx 20v battery and keep it simple. If your machine runs as a 40V set-up, that usually means two batteries working together, so check the tool spec before you order or you will end up with the wrong pack for the job.
2. Capacity and Runtime
If you only use the tool for short bursts, a smaller battery is easier to live with and keeps the weight down. If you are mowing, trimming, drilling all day, or doing repeated stop-start work, go up in Ah and save yourself constant battery swaps.
3. Spare Pack or Full Rotation
If this is just a backup, one extra pack will do. If the tool earns its keep every week, buy enough batteries to run one, cool one, and charge one, otherwise your charger becomes the bottleneck.
4. Replacement vs Expansion
If you are replacing a dead original, match the voltage and fitting exactly. If you are expanding a Power Share set-up, think ahead and buy the battery that suits your hungriest tool, because the little pack that feels fine in a drill will not last long in outdoor equipment.
Who Uses These Worx Batteries?
- Maintenance teams use worx batteries to keep light repair, clean-up, and property upkeep jobs moving without having to trail extension leads through occupied buildings.
- Garden and grounds teams rely on the Worx Power Share battery system because one platform can cover trimmers, blowers, mowers, and other outdoor kit across the week.
- Home improvers and van-based trades who already own Worx Drills and Drivers keep spare packs ready so small fixing, drilling, and assembly jobs do not stop for charging.
- Anyone running older Worx cordless tools swears by a fresh worx replacement battery when the tool is still sound but the original pack has lost its runtime.
The Basics: Understanding Worx Batteries
The main thing to understand is not just voltage, but how the battery fits the tool and how much runtime you need. Here is the simple version.
1. Power Share Compatibility
A Worx Power Share battery is built to work across compatible Worx cordless tools on the same platform. That means one 20V battery can often move from a drill to a driver or lighter garden kit, which saves buying separate systems for every job.
2. 20V for Single Tool Use
A worx 20v battery is the standard choice for individual cordless tools. It is what you want for day-to-day drilling, fastening, trimming, and other general jobs where one battery powers one machine.
3. 40V Uses Two Batteries
A worx 40v battery set-up is normally created by using two compatible 20V batteries together in one tool. That is how the bigger outdoor machines get the extra output they need for heavier cutting and clearance work.
Worx Battery Accessories That Keep You Working
A battery on its own is only half the answer. These are the add-ons that stop downtime and keep your cordless kit usable day after day.
1. Battery Chargers
A proper charger is the obvious one, but it matters. If you only have one charger and several packs, that is where the hold-up starts. Keep the right charger handy so your spare battery is actually ready when you need it.
2. Spare Battery Packs
One extra battery saves you standing about waiting for a recharge when the tool dies mid-job. It is the easiest way to keep a working rotation going, especially on outdoor kit and repeated-use tools.
3. Battery Mounts and Storage
Mounts help keep loose batteries organised in the van, workshop, or shed instead of rolling about and getting knocked up. It is a small fix, but it saves damage and makes it easier to grab the right pack quickly.
Choose the Right Worx Batteries for the Job
Use this quick guide to match the battery to the tool and workload.
| Your Job | Battery Type | Key Features |
|---|---|---|
| Short drilling and fixing jobs around the house or van | Worx 20V battery | Single tool use, lighter weight, easy to swap between compatible Power Share tools |
| Regular use with drills, drivers, and general cordless kit | Higher capacity worx battery pack | Longer runtime, fewer charging stops, better for repeated daily use |
| Replacing an old pack that no longer holds charge | Worx replacement battery | Restores runtime, keeps sound tools working, must match the original platform and voltage |
| Outdoor cutting, mowing, and heavier garden jobs | Worx 40V battery set-up | Uses two compatible batteries together, better suited to higher demand machines |
| Running several compatible tools from one system | Worx Power Share battery | Cross-platform convenience, fewer separate batteries, easier storage and charging |
Common Buying and Usage Mistakes
- Buying on capacity alone and ignoring voltage or platform. A bigger Ah rating is no help if the worx battery pack does not match the tool properly.
- Assuming every Worx battery fits every Worx tool. Check whether you are buying for a 20V Power Share tool or a 40V machine that needs two compatible batteries working together.
- Only owning one battery for a tool you use a lot. That is fine for odd jobs, but on regular work it means dead time while you wait for charging.
- Using a small pack on power-hungry outdoor kit and expecting full-shift runtime. It will work, but you will be swapping and charging far more often than you want to.
- Leaving batteries loose in the van or damp shed. Knocks, dirt, and poor storage shorten their life, so keep them clean, dry, and stored properly between jobs.
20V Batteries vs 40V Set-Ups vs Higher Capacity Packs
20V Batteries
Best for standard cordless tools where one battery powers one machine. They are simpler, lighter, and easier to move between compatible Worx Power Share tools for everyday drilling, fastening, and lighter outdoor jobs.
40V Set-Ups
Better for heavier garden equipment that needs more output and longer sustained performance. They usually rely on two batteries together, so they suit bigger mowing and clearance work rather than quick indoor jobs.
Higher Capacity Packs
These are the sensible choice if downtime is the problem. You get longer runtime per charge, but usually with extra weight, so they make more sense on longer tasks than on quick overhead or stop-start work.
Maintenance and Care
Keep Contacts Clean
Wipe dirt and dust off the battery terminals before charging or fitting them to the tool. Grime on the contacts can cause poor connection and charging issues.
Store Them Dry and Out of Heat
Do not leave batteries baking in the van or sitting in a damp shed for weeks. Dry, steady storage conditions help them hold charge better and last longer.
Charge Before They Go Flat for Good
If a battery is going into storage, do not chuck it aside completely drained and forget about it. Give it a sensible charge and check it now and then if it is not being used regularly.
Watch for Damage to the Case
If the casing is cracked, badly knocked, or not clipping into the tool properly, stop using it. A damaged pack is not worth the risk just to squeeze out one more job.
Replace When Runtime Drops Off
If charge times seem normal but runtime has fallen away badly, the battery is usually on its way out. At that point, a fresh worx replacement battery is the sensible fix.

Worx Batteries FAQs
What batteries does Worx make?
Worx mainly builds its cordless system around lithium-ion battery platforms, with the best-known being the Worx Power Share battery range. In practical terms, that means 20V batteries for single-tool use and 40V set-ups that use two compatible 20V packs together on larger machines.
Are Worx batteries interchangeable between the 20V and 40V ranges?
Yes, but only in the right way. A compatible Worx 20V battery can often be used across Power Share tools, and some 40V machines work by using two of those 20V batteries together. What you cannot do is assume every tool takes every pack, so always check the tool spec before ordering.
What capacities do Worx batteries come in?
Worx batteries come in different Ah capacities depending on the model. Lower capacities suit lighter, quicker jobs and keep the tool weight down, while larger capacity packs are the better call for longer runtime on regular use or higher demand outdoor kit.
How long does a Worx battery last per charge?
That depends on the tool, the battery capacity, and how hard you are pushing it. In real use, a drill doing light fixing work will run much longer than a mower or blower under load, so buy for the hungriest job you expect it to do, not the easiest one.
Is it worth buying a spare Worx battery, or will one do?
For odd jobs, one may be enough. For regular use, especially outdoors or across several tools, a spare is well worth it because it stops the whole day being dictated by charger time.
Can I use a higher capacity pack without harming the tool?
Yes, as long as it is the correct compatible Worx battery for that platform. A higher capacity pack mainly gives you more runtime, though it will usually add a bit more weight to the tool in the hand.
