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.

Bosch ABS 96 M-2 Series — 9.6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (2 607 335 035)
This is a 9.6V Ni-MH replacement battery rated at 2100mAh (20.16Wh) for the Bosch ABS 96 M-2 and related compact cordless drills. It slots into the same battery bay and connects to the same terminal block as the original pack. Fits the ABS 96 M-2, ASB 96 P-2, GBB 9.6VES-1, GBM 9.6 VSP-2, and over 30 additional Bosch 9.6V platform models.
- 9.6V Bosch platform compatibility: These models share a common 9.6V rail, identical terminal layout, and the same mechanical latch geometry. The battery's cell count and BMS communication protocol match what the original charger and tool expect — no recalibration needed after swap.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We ran this pack through repeated trigger-pull cycles on a GBM 9.6 VSP-2 to observe BMS response at inrush. The protection circuit held through motor-start spikes without tripping, and cell temperatures stayed within Ni-MH safe operating range across a full discharge cycle.
- Break-in procedure for Ni-MH cells: Run the drill at half load — light fastening, no clutch engagement — for the first two full cycles. This lets the cells equalise charge distribution before you hit them with maximum torque pulls. Skipping this shortens usable cell life faster than any other single factor on Ni-MH packs.
Why the ABS 96 M-2 cuts out dead on the first hard trigger pull
Ni-MH cells at partial charge have a lower instantaneous current ceiling than a fully topped pack. When the drill motor starts from rest, it pulls a spike — sometimes three to four times the running current — in the first milliseconds. If the BMS sees this spike exceed its overcurrent threshold, it trips and disconnects the pack instantly. The tool feels like it died. Reset the pack by releasing the trigger fully for five seconds, then re-engage slowly. If the trip repeats, charge the pack to full before continuing work — the overcurrent headroom is narrower on a depleted Ni-MH cell.
Charger LED stays solid red and never advances on a new pack
Ni-MH chargers use a minimum acceptance voltage check before they start the charge cycle. A pack that sat in storage can drop below this threshold — often under 7V on a 9.6V nominal pack — and the charger reads it as a fault rather than a dischargeable cell. This is not a dead battery. Remove the pack, wait 30 seconds, and re-seat it firmly so all terminals make clean contact. If the charger still rejects it, check resting voltage across the terminals with a multimeter — anything above 6V means the cells are recoverable; re-seat and retry. If voltage reads below 5V, the cells have deep-discharged beyond recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
My ABS 96 M-2 bogs down and loses torque halfway through a screw — is the battery failing or is something wrong with the tool?
Voltage sag under load is the most common cause on worn Ni-MH packs. As internal resistance rises with cell age, the voltage rail drops when current demand increases — the motor sees less voltage and slows. Check terminal contact first: oxidised or loose contacts add resistance before the current even reaches the cells. If contacts are clean and the sag persists, the cells are the cause; a fresh pack at 9.6V nominal will restore full torque output immediately.
The drill ran fine, then sat in a drawer for six months — now it feels weak even on a full charge. What happened?
Ni-MH cells self-discharge significantly during storage — typically 15–20% per month at room temperature — and repeated deep self-discharge degrades cell capacity permanently. The cells may accept a charge and read full voltage at rest, but their usable capacity under load has dropped. Run two full discharge-and-charge cycles using the OEM charger to let the BMS re-profile the pack. If the weakness persists after two cycles, cell capacity has faded beyond recovery and a replacement pack is the fix.
The drill works fine indoors but cuts out almost immediately when I use it in a cold garage in winter — why?
Ni-MH internal resistance rises sharply below 10°C, which reduces the current the cells can deliver before the BMS trips on undervoltage. The motor-start inrush that the pack handles without issue at room temperature exceeds the cold-temperature current ceiling. Bring the battery indoors for 20–30 minutes before use — you do not need to warm the tool, only the pack. Once the cells are above 15°C, inrush headroom returns and the cut-out stops.
