Replacement batteries for TDK 15.6 & TDK 12 drills

[chrisrosenb]

I did a search, but could not find anything. I also looked on the FestoolUSA site, but could not get a clear answer.

What replacement batteries are available for the TDK 15.6 & TDK 12 drills?

Besides soldering new cells yourself  [tongue]

Festool #491825 (12V, Ni-MH, 2 Ah)

Thanks for the reply, although all appear to be discontinued in the US.

Your post did lead me to a 12 volt replacement battery.  494522

No replies for dealers or Festool.

Just another reason why the number of Festools I own keeps decreasing.

Chris,

Sorry for the lack of a response. We have a section on the forum, as I'm sure you're aware, that directs questions to Festool. I am usually very quick at replying to posts there. Also, you have my contact information and can also contact us via phone should you need assistance. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to read every post on the forum. So, apologies for not getting a quicker answer and thanks to Seth to bringing this to my attention and moving it to the Ask Festool section.

The TDK is compatible with NiCd and NiMH batteries. Due to environmental regulations in Europe, Festool no longer offers NiCd batteries. So your option would be limited to NiMH or having your current batteries rebuilt, which some forum members have done.

Here's a link to the NiMH batteries on our website. https://www.festoolusa.com/search/?q=nimh

494522 would work with your TDK 12 and 15 (12v)
494526 would work with your TDK 15 (15.6v)

Again, sorry for the slow response.
