It slots into the same port as the original pack and communicates with the same BMS handshake the charger expects. Capacity is 3000mAh (43.2Wh), matching the original specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cul class=\"bpw-desc-bullets\"\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMAS144 and MAS144VL compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    Both models run on the same 14.4V rail and share the same connector pinout and BMS communication protocol. The 5450880 part number is the OEM battery these tools shipped with — this pack is built to the same electrical spec.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBench tested on actual hardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    We cycled this pack through motor-start inrush loads on a 14.4V drill platform. The BMS handled repeated trigger-pull current spikes without tripping into overcurrent cutoff, and cell voltage recovery between draws stayed within the expected window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst-use load conditioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n    On first use, run the tool at half load for two cycles before any maximum-torque applications. This lets the BMS profile the motor's inrush current draw and calibrate overcurrent protection thresholds before you push it hard.\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 drill motor-start inrush surge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eWhen you pull the trigger on a drill or impact driver, current spikes sharply in the first milliseconds before the motor reaches speed. A new pack — especially one coming out of storage — can have a stiff BMS that interprets this inrush as an overcurrent fault and shuts the pack down immediately. The fix is to run two or three short, low-load cycles first so the BMS accumulates inrush data and widens its fault threshold. After conditioning, the pack should sustain full trigger pulls without cutting out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3 class=\"bpw-desc-h3\"\u003eCharger not recognising the pack after extended storage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"bpw-desc-p\"\u003eLi-ion packs stored for several months can drop below 2.5V per cell — the minimum voltage most chargers need to begin a charge cycle. If the charger blinks red or shows no activity, the pack has likely self-discharged past the charger's acceptance threshold. Some Meister Craft chargers have a recovery or \"boost\" mode — check the charger manual for a reset sequence, usually a long press or a specific light pattern. If cell voltage has dropped below 2.0V per cell, recovery is not possible and the pack should be replaced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"BatteryWeb","offers":[{"title":"Warranty 1 Year","offer_id":43416031330394,"sku":"BWCS-MAS144PX-1","price":87.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 2 Year","offer_id":43416031363162,"sku":"BWCS-MAS144PX-2","price":102.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Warranty 3 Year","offer_id":43416031395930,"sku":"BWCS-MAS144PX-3","price":113.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/4775\/0746\/files\/BW-CS-MAS144PX-1.webp?v=1779759627","url":"https:\/\/batteryweb.com\/products\/meister-craft-mas144-replacement-battery-144v-3000mah-li-ion","provider":"BatteryWeb","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
