Battery Care Tips
Battery Care Tips
🔹 Getting Started
Charge your new battery fully before you use it for the first time. Over the next few charge cycles, run your device down to around 20% before you recharge—this helps the battery perform its best. After that, charge whenever you need to.
🔹 Keep It Healthy
Avoid letting your battery completely drain or staying plugged in constantly. Both extremes wear it out faster. Store the battery in a cool, dry place when you're not using it, since heat damages batteries quickly.
Delivery and Shipping
Delivery and Shipping
🔹 Most orders ship the next day, and we use FedEx, UPS, Purolator and other carriers to get them to you. Lithium batteries have to ship by ground only, not air or USPS. Make sure your address is right before you order, because if we have to send it back, you pay for shipping again.

Festool BPH9.6C Series — 9.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (CDD9.6)
This is a 9.6V Ni-MH battery rated at 3300mAh (31.68Wh), built to replace the original pack in Festool cordless drills and drivers. It fits the BPH9.6C platform along with FSP-487512, FSP-488437, and FSP-490355 among others. OEM part numbers CDD9.6, CCD9.6, CCD9.6ES, and CCD9.6FX all cross to this replacement.
- BPH9.6C platform fit: These models share the same 9.6V rail, battery connector format, and cell count. The BMS on each communicates the same charge termination signal, so this pack charges and discharges without modification.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through charge and discharge cycles on the BPH9.6C platform. The BMS registered correct delta-V cutoff at end of charge and held voltage under motor-start inrush without tripping overcurrent protection.
- Motor break-in on first use: On the first two cycles, run the drill at half load — moderate torque applications only. This lets the BMS sample the motor's inrush current draw and set its overcurrent threshold accurately before you push the tool to full torque.
BMS overcurrent trip on trigger pull in Festool 9.6V drills
The BPH9.6C motor pulls a spike of current the instant the trigger engages — often two to three times the running current. A new or freshly stored Ni-MH pack has slightly elevated internal resistance, which amplifies the voltage dip at that spike. If the BMS reads the dip as an overcurrent fault, it cuts power immediately and the tool stops before the motor reaches speed. Two break-in cycles at moderate load bring cell resistance down and allow the BMS to calibrate its trip threshold correctly.
Pack gets warm and drill bogs under sustained load
Ni-MH cells generate more heat than Li-ion during high-current discharge, and the BPH9.6C housing gives that heat nowhere to go quickly. Under sustained heavy load — driving long screws or boring large-diameter holes repeatedly — cell temperature climbs and internal resistance rises, which causes voltage sag and the bogging sensation. The thermal cutoff trips if the pack reaches its limit, and the drill stops entirely. Let the pack rest for at least 10 minutes after a thermal cutoff before resuming work, and check that the battery contacts are clean and seating fully to rule out contact resistance adding to the load.

Frequently Asked Questions
My Festool BPH9.6C drill cuts out the instant I pull the trigger on tight fasteners — is that the battery?
That's a BMS overcurrent trip caused by the motor-start inrush current spike. A new or stored Ni-MH pack has elevated internal resistance, which deepens the voltage dip at trigger pull and can cross the BMS trip threshold before the motor reaches speed. Run two cycles at moderate load to bring cell resistance down and let the BMS calibrate. If the problem persists after break-in, clean the battery contacts and confirm the pack is reading 9.6V fully charged before use.
The charger never recognises this pack — it just sits there doing nothing. What's wrong?
Ni-MH packs that have sat in storage can drop below the voltage floor a charger requires to begin a charge cycle — typically around 1.0V per cell, so roughly 9.0V for a 9.6V pack. If the terminal voltage is too low, the charger sees no valid pack and won't start. Try a slow-charge or recovery mode if your charger has one; if not, briefly apply a small external load and then reinsert — this can shake the cells out of the deep-discharge state. Check terminal voltage before reinserting; it needs to be above 9.0V for most standard Festool chargers to initiate.
The drill feels noticeably weaker in winter than it does in a warm workshop — normal for Ni-MH?
Yes. Ni-MH internal resistance rises as temperature drops, and the BPH9.6C motor draws enough current that even a moderate resistance increase causes visible voltage sag under load. Below about 10°C the effect is significant — the drill runs slower and stalls earlier on tough fasteners. Store the battery in a warm space before use and let the tool warm up with light work before tackling full-torque applications. Capacity returns to normal once the cells are back above 15°C.
