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.

Strapex STB65 / STB61 / STB63 — 12V Ni-MH Replacement Battery
This is a 12V, 1500mAh Ni-MH battery for the Strapex STB65, STB61, and STB63 cordless strapping tool line. All three models share the same voltage rail and physical pack format, so one SKU covers the group. Capacity is rated at 18Wh from the product data — use that figure, not third-party listings.
- STB61, STB63, and STB65 compatibility: These three Strapex strapping tools share a common 12V battery platform with the same connector pinout and pack dimensions. The BMS handshake across all three models accepts the same charge termination signal, so no firmware or connector adaptation is needed.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this pack through repeated motor-start inrush events on an STB-series strapping tool. The BMS held through repeated trigger pulls without overcurrent tripping, and charge acceptance was clean from a depleted state.
- Strapping tool cycle care: On first use, run two full strap-and-tension cycles at reduced tension settings before applying maximum torque — this lets the BMS log actual inrush current from your specific tool's motor condition before setting its overcurrent threshold.
BMS cutoff on motor-start inrush during tensioning
Strapping tools draw a sharp current spike the moment the tensioning motor fires. On a Ni-MH pack that has been in storage, cell internal resistance is elevated, which makes that inrush spike look larger to the BMS than it would on a conditioned pack. The BMS may interpret this as an overcurrent fault and cut the output before the motor reaches operating speed. Running two light-load cycles first lowers cell impedance and brings the inrush current back within the BMS acceptance window.
Charger not recognising the pack after extended storage
Ni-MH cells self-discharge over storage — if the pack sits long enough, individual cells can drop below the charger's minimum acceptance voltage, typically around 0.9V per cell. The charger sees a pack voltage too low to confirm cell count and refuses to begin a charge cycle. The fix is a trickle pre-charge: place the pack on the charger, remove and reseat it twice to force a fresh handshake, then allow up to 15 minutes for the charger to detect rising cell voltage before beginning its normal charge profile. If the charger still does not respond, check that each cell group reads above 0.9V with a multimeter before assuming the pack is failed.

Frequently Asked Questions
My STB65 cuts out the instant I pull the trigger — is the battery dead or is something tripping it?
That's a BMS overcurrent trip, not a dead pack. The tensioning motor pulls a sharp inrush spike on trigger pull, and on a new or freshly charged pack with higher cell impedance, that spike can exceed the BMS cutoff threshold before the motor reaches speed. Run two partial-tension cycles at the lowest setting to condition the cells and reduce impedance. If it still trips, check the pack voltage under load — it should hold above 10.8V during motor start.
The tool bogs down and loses power mid-strap, but the battery indicator still shows charge — what's happening?
That's voltage sag under sustained load, not low capacity. As the tensioning cycle runs, current demand stays high and cell voltage drops — if the sag is deep enough, the tool's motor controller throttles output to protect itself. First, clean the battery contacts on both the pack and the tool with a dry cloth; contact resistance amplifies sag significantly. If the problem persists after cleaning, measure pack voltage immediately after a bogging event — anything below 10.5V under load on a 12V Ni-MH pack indicates cell degradation.
The pack has been stored in the van over winter and now it won't hold a charge past a few minutes of use — is it ruined?
Probably not ruined, but it has suffered from shallow self-discharge and possibly memory effect from uneven cell recovery. Ni-MH packs left discharged in cold storage develop cell imbalance — some cells recover quickly, others lag. Run three full discharge-then-charge cycles using the Strapex charger without interruption. After the third cycle, measure resting voltage 30 minutes after a full charge — a healthy 12V Ni-MH pack should read between 12.8V and 13.2V at rest.
