These are motorized blade trimmers for cutting small hedges and garden shrubs. Capacity matches OEM spec at 12.96Wh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUT44171 and UT44176 compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e Both models run the same 7.2V rail with the same connector and BMS interface, so one battery platform covers either shear without modification.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e We ran full charge\/discharge cycles — the BMS held voltage steady under motor load and cut off cleanly at the low-voltage threshold without triggering a false fault state.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-cycle conditioning for Ni-MH:\u003c\/strong\u003e Run the shear until the blades slow noticeably, then charge fully — repeat this two or three times to bring the cells to rated capacity before normal use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eWhy cell format matters in a compact shrub shear\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eThe SC1800x6 platform stacks six sub-C Ni-MH cells in series to reach 7.2V. The 86.50 x 67.10 x 22.70mm envelope keeps the pack within the tool's slim handle geometry. Swapping to a higher-capacity cell in the same footprint isn't possible without changing the housing, so 1800mAh is the practical ceiling for this form factor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBlades slow under load but the charge indicator still shows full\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eNi-MH cells develop memory effect after repeated shallow discharge cycles — the pack voltage reads acceptable at rest but collapses when the blade motor draws current. The fix is a deliberate deep discharge followed by a full charge, repeated two to three times. If the problem persists, the cells have reached end of life and the pack needs replacement, not conditioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43175806664794,"sku":"BWCS-HMT171PW-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43175806697562,"sku":"BWCS-HMT171PW-2","price":50.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43175806730330,"sku":"BWCS-HMT171PW-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-HMT171PW-1.webp?v=1775236275","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/homelite-cordless-shear-ut44171-replacement-battery-72v-1800mah-ni-mh","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
