It slots into the same battery bay as the original and connects to the same charge contacts. Capacity is 27Wh — matched to the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABS 12Li platform fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    The 396951 runs a 10.8V three-cell Li-ion rail with a proprietary contact layout and BMS handshake. This pack matches that rail voltage, contact pitch, and BMS communication line — so the tool and charger recognise it without override or adapter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We ran the pack through repeated trigger-pull cycles on a 396951 unit, logging the BMS response at motor start inrush. The overcurrent threshold held correctly across cold starts and loaded drilling passes. No nuisance trips occurred during testing.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotor inrush break-in:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run the drill at half load — soft materials, light fastener torque — for two full charge cycles before heavy drilling. This allows the BMS to profile the motor's inrush current signature and set overcurrent protection thresholds accurately before you push the tool to maximum torque.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n  \u003chr class=\"bpw-desc-divider\"\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eBMS cutoff on motor-start inrush in the ABS 12Li\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen you pull the trigger on a drill under load, the motor draws a current spike — often three to five times the running current — for the first fraction of a second. On a new or cold pack, the BMS may read that spike as an overcurrent fault and cut the output before the motor reaches speed. The ABS 12Li's compact housing gives the cells little thermal headroom, which tightens the BMS trip window further. If you experience this, let the pack warm to room temperature and start the first cycle at low torque to let the BMS calibrate to the motor profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger not recognising the pack after storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion chargers use a minimum acceptance voltage — typically around 2.5V per cell — before starting a charge cycle. If a pack has sat unused for several months, cell voltage can drop below that threshold and the charger simply does nothing or blinks an error. This is a BMS re-initialisation issue, not a dead battery. Connect the pack to the charger and leave it for 10–15 minutes — many chargers run a low-current trickle phase to bring cells back above the acceptance floor before switching to normal charge. If the charger still shows no activity after 20 minutes, check that each contact is clean and making full metal-to-metal contact; a single dirty pin drops the handshake voltage enough to block recognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416020648026,"sku":"BWCS-LTS121PX-1","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416020680794,"sku":"BWCS-LTS121PX-2","price":51.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416020713562,"sku":"BWCS-LTS121PX-3","price":56.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-LTS121PX-1.webp?v=1779759485","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/lux-tools-abs-12li-396951-replacement-battery-108v-2500mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
